It sounds like hip lingo, but "she's about a mover" is a meaningless phrase. The song was written as "She's A Body Mover."
The band was playing a bar gig in San Antonio, Texas when a lovely lady began dancing in front of the stage. Group leader Doug Sahm said to his bandmates, "She's a body mover, isn't she?," inspiring the song. That title was deemed too risqué for airplay, so they changed it to the nonsensical "She's About A Mover."

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. George Clinton tripping balls tells Eddie Hazel to just play like you just found out your mom died. What you get is one of the most emotional pieces of guitar music ever written.

The lyrics to Brick House by the Commodores were written by a woman - bassist William King's wife, Shirley, although he claimed credit and it was years before she was acknowledged as the lyricist for the song.
In hindsight, it seems almost too "feminist" to have been written by a man during that era.
To a degree, that probably happened with Jim Gordon and the Layla piano coda. He probably lifted it from Rita Coolidge. She claims he did and comparing her body of work as a composer to his - I believe her.

Sum 41's album Chuck was named after a UN Peacekeeper who saved the band's life when they were on tour in Africa and were attacked by militants. As a result, the album is far darker and heavier in tone and subject matter than their previous albums. Rather than the music being about juvenile pranks or hs unrequited love, it's all about the oppression of the police state, American military interventionism abroad, and consumerist culture.

Speaking of - it was Clapton's concept for the track to have a loose, "live jam" feel and encouraged Duane Allman to improvise his slide playing over the melody, rather than plan everything out. I don't recall if it was Tom Dowd himself or one of his engineers (they had a long relationship with the ABB), but one of them commented, "It was jarring because we got the loose feel that Eric wanted, but I was unaccustomed to hearing Duane play even a single note wrong."
