"i found "love potion number 9" in a back-street, second-hand shop in hamburg." curtis later said. "i saw this 45 with a triangle in the middle and i thought: i've got to have it, it’s such a weird looking record. i took my little portable electric record-player to germany and i played "love potion number 9" and i thought: this is excellent."

the song describes a man seeking help to find love, so he talks to a gypsy who determines, by means of palmistry, that he needs ""love potion number 9"". the potion, an aphrodisiac, causes him to fall in love with everything he sees, kissing whatever is in front of him, eventually kissing a policeman on the street-corner, who breaks his bottle of love potion.
