Another bubblegum record, this time under the name of the Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus (producers Jerry Kasenetz and Jeff Katz). The premise was that various bands under the Super K Productions umbrella (Ohio Express, 1910 Fruitgum Company, etc.) joined forces as a supergroup. It was the only hit using this concept, however. Joey Levine handled the lead vocals here.
The lyrics are proof positive the concept of police brutality is nothing new, as the singers are quite cavalier in the manner in which they sing "Sheriff got a shotgun/He'll fill you full of lead son/ He also got a blackjack/He'll bust your head with one whack".
ReplyDeleteOne question: To which group did the female backup singers belong?
