Great song from a criminally under-rated band. Not just ska, not just funk, not just punk, but a skillful blend. Fishbone. Norwood and Fish are among the best bass and drum players, respectively, in the biz.
I think this song is about the band itself. This album was sort of a concept album about Fishbone's dealings with the music industry/business. The album was released right after they parted ways with Columbia/Sony Records (whom they had a tumultuous relationship with). This song, and the whole album, really are a big "F-You" to the music industry.
