Something I just discovered about this song: The reference to "Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too". Of course, Holland & Holland are a gun manufacturer in Britain, which makes total sense with the next verse, but if you add Dozier, you get Holland, Dozier, and Holland...the trio that wrote and produced a huge number of early Motown hits, including some from The Four Tops, sung by Levi Stubbs himself. This song has a lot more going on than people realize.
