I love how they're fighting the power with a Soul Train line dance. Like they're showing off their ultimate crossover dance moves and, stunned, the authorities have no idea what to do?! Ronald Isley, lead singer, is very frustrated because they tell him he plays his music too loud, like he's a teenager angry because his parents are trying to shut his music down. And, plus, he's pissed about "all the other bullshit going round." It's not the agitprop of the Public Enemy version but it's hotter, funkier, more undeniable as pure musical force. And it reached number 4 on the Hot 100 and was very big, naturally, in the discos. Thank God It's Disco Friday.
