The late 60s and early 70s were filled with raising awareness of the plight of Native Americans. Johnny Cash and the actor Marlon Brando used their celebrity status to draw attention to it.
This song was HUGE in my childhood. It's one of the songs you waited to hear on the radio. Loved it then and still do
Sacheen Littlefeather was a fake Indian. Her real name was Marie Louise Cruz. She's the one who accepted the award for Marlon Brando.
I remember when this song came out and how my generation were starting to learn about the how the Native North Americans were cheated and treated. I also remember how my parents reacted to it and I was surprised, confused and angry. So much prejudice. Speaking as a white Canadian, there are so many shameful attitudes and actions.
@@noraelliott7304 You are aware, are you not, that Indian tribes massacred one another for centuries before the white man came to North America?
@@timcarr6401 In your mind that excuses the atrocities visited upon Native Americans? Europeans had a long history of massacring each other as well. Perhaps they should have been conquered by an alien race, too?
Racists like you make me ill. You expose your inner darkness every time you say anything on the internet.
@@timcarr6401 Yes, there were rival tribes. But they kept things in balance and did not irradiate the entire race to a dwindling few. White Germans fought English. English fought the Irish and Scotts. War is everywhere. People have always fought wars.. especially over land. But the early Politicians went far and beyond extremes. The Native Americans were deliberately infected with blankets carrying smallpox. Bows and arrows were no contest against the riffles. And whether anyone believes it or not, white people began scalping the Natives to take their long black hair as a trophy. Native Americans fought back and in turn scalped the white people. You cannot compare small tribal wars on a continent as vast as the Americas with the near total genecide on the Native Americans. Children are taught to hate and the prejudices that are still around today.
Paul Revere & the Raiders formed in Boise, Idaho in 1958. They went to Portland,Oregon in 1960 & began playing in the small club & lounges there. In 1965, they became the “house band” on Dick Clark’s TV show,”Where the action is.” They had multiple hits during the middle to late 1960s & were very popular. Indian Reservation was a number one hit in 1971 & it was their biggest charting song. Paul Revere died October 4th,2014. During their time from 1958 until Paul’s death in 2014 they had 14 studio albums, 2 live albums, 15 compilation albums, and 39 top 10 singles. I was a big fan back in my wayward youth.
🎶🎸💕👌🤘👍
Oh my God I haven’t listened to this song in more than 30 years! I remembered every word like I heard it yesterday❤
Last time I heard this was much more than 30 years too, it would've been playing in the 8-track in my '70 Plymouth duster
Same!
I'm with you Bob!!! I had a '70 Chevelle and an 8 track player. This song brings back lots of great memories!!!
@@bobg8378 I had a 4-track then an 8-track. Had to put a matchbook or sometime that would stop it from Skipping in the Car. Oh, The Memories!!!!!
Me too! I was like 4 or 5 and I totally understood the lyrics especially " Took away our native tongue/ taught their English to our young".
I first heard this song when I was a kid. That organ riff at the end was the coolest thing I ever heard.
I'm part Cherokee as well , and THIS song is like A CHEROKEE NATIONAL ANTHEM - You can't help but feel PROUD and EMPOWERED when you hear it ♥
Live in Paiute and Shoshone country, but haven't got an ounce of Native American blood. But have always had great respect for them and lots of sadness for how they were treated. Must be why this song makes me cry.
@@knightdragon5640 you sound like a very special person
What Band are you documented with?
This song resonated with so many people, including me, a 10 year old boy when it was on the radio.
A strong & powerful song. I have great respect for Native Americans. Even though I'm an Aussie with proud Italian heritage, the culture of the Native Americans has always haunted me. Their beliefs, music and pride in their culture are amazing.
Some people are hearing this song for the first time. But when this came out, it was such a powerful song. And now the younger generations are hearing it for the first time and they feel the power of this song. Music can convey so much. Never lose music in your life.
This was a big hit in the early 70s I use to be a huge 70s Fan. But no I live my life for the Lord Jesus Christ. He is Awesome.
I am so glad you got to Paul Revere and the Raiders. Great band. Would recommend Kicks (anti-drug message) and Hungry next. They have a lot of great songs. RIP Paul Revere. Loved this song growing up in the 70s.
Mark Lindsay is 80 now.
@@timcarr6401 And still gigging I believe. Unfortunately, Paul Revere, the keyboardist, passed away several years ago.
Yeah Kicks!
Definitely Kicks, Hungry, Let Me, are some of my favorites.
"Kicks" is still one of my favorite songs. I had the pleasure of waiting on Paul Revere at a Home Depot I worked at. Was very sad to hear of his passing not long after.
As a descendent of Apache, this song is the first I heard as a child that made my heart swell with both tears and pride that everyone was listening to this song.
This was literally one of the first 45 RPM singles I ever bought in my life, I think I was about 10 years old. I'm 61 now. I haven't heard this song literally in years, I've never seen this video, but I remembered every single word. I'm sure it has a very emotional impact on Jay since he is Cherokee. I have also attended many powwows, and I am very happy to see that Native American culture has survived.
It used to be on the radio a lot, Back In 1971,, I wasl about 20, Always like that, Song, I'm part Cherokee,,,,
Me, too, one of my first 45s!!!
As a Native American, this is meaningful, as I was born and raised on a reservation. We speak our language and practise our traditions. A huge struggle over the dacades but we are still here. Thanx for this. I remember when it first came out. All tribes were placed on reservations. Cherokee is just one tribe ..there are many more.
You're exactly right. My grandfather (1/2 Menominee) was taken from the rez and sent to an "Indian School" in Douglas, KS. They cut off his hair and forced him to speak English, then when he was finished at the school, the Indian Service sent him to the Kiowa Agency in Oklahoma. My dad was born on the rez and I was born in Indian country (but not on the rez).
I am so grateful for your traditional life and Culture. I am Norwegian descent. My culture to was invaded by the same minds and mentality. I try to learn both of our tradition and Culture.To you I am grateful.
Ya'll were savages and Cavemen that got bested and Conquered by Bigger, Stronger, Smarter, Faster, More technically advanced people. Yaaaawn. Sad But True!
@@WhiteMaurice And those people that you apparently love have yet to honor their word. Every single treaty you liars made with the tribes you also broke.
@@WhiteMaurice Only the last part of your comment was correct. The technically advanced part. The main reason was that eventually they were outnumbered.
Loved this song, on early 70s during the 'Troubles' in Ireland this resonated with us as young people, we swore we would rise as a nation. Also there is great respect and warmth between our nation and first nation people, when we where starving during the famine, the Choctow nation help us and sent a considerable amount of money to help . God bless them even with their own problems they tried to help an other people thousands of miles away.
This song was introduced to me back when I was just a kid, knowing I was Indigenous but that’s it. Here in Canada, we as First Nations peoples can relate to the song completely. My mother’s family is First Nations and I have spent the last years learning all I can about my heritage and will continue to do so. ✌🏼💜
Love seeing a fellow Canadian here and to hear that you are First Nation Indigenous! These songs are powerful to raise awareness and create change!
The biggest selling hit in the history of CBS records at the time it was released!
Before my class read, "Code Talkers" we listened to this song and discussed it. These were 4,5 and 6 years. I feel like kids don't learn about these things anymore.
They had some really good hits back in the day. They had a really good sound, good music. Song in particular was very special to this group very meaningful
I was 12 years old when this song came out. It was on the radio all the time back then. I still remember the house, my family, and the neighborhood we lived in when ever I hear this song. It was one of the first songs that first WOKE me up to the plight of cultures other than my own. Thank you for this video. It really took me back! :)
Paul Revere and the Raiders were one of my favorite bands as a kid. Their song, "Kicks" was always my favorite song. Very cool band that had songs with meaning.
We were idiots when this song came out. We didn't realize they were describing the actual things that were done to the Native American. We should be doing so much more for the remaining Native Americans.
Believe it or not, the last “Indian” boarding schools were closed in the 1980s and 1990s. These boarding schools were simply the worst of everything that was done to indigenous peoples in North America. Not only did these schools strip every single ounce of culture and history away, these schools also taught the Native Children that they were never going to be good enough. These stolen children were told over and over again that they were less than human, less than white.
Even now, on a national level, Native Americans are still less than. Only in state and local elections does our vote matter. How often does a Presidential candidate come visit the Blackfoot in Browning or the Chippewa-Cree on Rocky Boy ( Stone Child )?
Natives were made to take Christian names, learn of the Christian religion but treated in less than Christian ways. Abuse, physical, emotional and sexual was rampant.
Remember this concept, “ Kill the Indian: Save the man”. Captain Pratt said what needed to happen was to “ kill the Indian in him and save the man”.
We are a minorities minority. Unless your Native, you never consider the Native Americans first when considering minorities. Black and Hispanic or Latinos, maybe Jews or Asians, Middle Easterners.
We read stories that become national news when some white gurl goes missing, but our own state barely makes note of a missing Native girl. We needed to start a movement for at least some people to take us serious. The “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women” movement is what’s trying to bring to light what is an epidemic to Native Females across our continent.
Native Americans deserve better, still.
What's a trip is to see how these guys performed when the band first came out, Paul Revere costumes with big hats and brass buttons and all!
12 year old me loved this song when it came out,my mind was blown when I found out that Mark Lindsay's hair was down to his waste and he would tuck it into his shirt so it always looked shoulder length and neat.
The Raiders were a pop group in the late 60s with a number of huge hits, but this one stood alone as something special, to be remembered.
Have loved this song since I was a kid. Thank you for the reaction. As a person of Cherokee lineage this song hits home. Over 700,000 people identify as part Cherokee but only 2000 still speak the language. I have recently started trying to learn some of it again.
So glad you finally got to this one! I knew J.would especially love it,Mark Lindsey is Cherokee also
Wow! I haven't heard this song in years! I'm from the Pacific NW & Paul Revere & the Raiders were a BIG thing in the 60's & early 70's. This song really hits home about the horrible treatment we interlopers from Europe, have inflicted on our Native population. It still saddens me.
Bro! So glad you finally listened to this. I remember sending it your way about a year ago. My heritage is Cherokee from my fathers side and Irish from my mothers side. Isn't it funny how much we all have in common? Always loved this song.
Haha - cool. Our families are opposite. Mom - Cherokee and Irish. Dad blackfoot
My father Cherokee, my mother Irish.
Add this one to the songs you do that are in my 45 rpm collection. I love that you bring "blast from the past" every so often. Not only great awareness but great song in general.
I always thought the "Beat" of this song that Amber clued in on, was the vibe of an Indian drum circle. Very poignant and reflective. Such a powerful song!❤❤
I'm telling you that the best music is from the 60s and the 70s. Love this song!! Great stuff. Still need to check out Gary Puckett and the union gap, BJ Thomas, Johnny Rivers, Tommy James and the Shondells, the Hollies, all great stuff. Thanks again for being my favorite channel.
Ýes! Loved Gary P and the Uniom Gap and Johnny Rivers.
I love Gary Puckett!
Classic! My momma is Cherokee...she is 89 now...she always reminded me of our heritage
This song is amazing! Have loved it forever. Great reaction from my fav reaction channel. Love you guys ❤☺😁 There is a commercial from the early 70s as well with "The Crying Indian". Its a public service announcement commercial that stills packs a punch even now. Its here on YT ☺
My Ancestors with the NC Band of Cherokee walked the Trail of Tears.
I have always loved this song and it speaks a great truth.
Saw Paul Revere and the Raiders when I was about seven years old; before they had recorded this song. They were still wearing Revolutionary War costumes when I saw them. My older sister was in love with Mark Lindsay. He threw his hat into the audience, right in front of us, but a pile of teenage girls jumped on top of it before we could even get out of our seats, lol. I would recommend Kicks or Just Remember You're My Sunshine.
One of my favorite songs.
Amber the SO proud to live. So proud to die. Was a reference to the Trail of tears 😢. Such a fantastic powerful song in honor of the native American culture and proud people.
Rich Remaly - Speaking of Trail Of Tears, Europe has a song named that, about the Cherokee's.
Love this song and music, seen this video many, many times, thank you for sharing!
Love, love, love this song!
PR & the Raiders were an American band that managed to break onto the charts in the midst of the 1960s British Invasion. In the early days they wore Revolutionary War costumes on stage. One of their best known songs is “Kicks,” an anti-drug song.
Ever since that song came out in the seventies by Paul Rever, I listen to it and I cry😢 unbelivable how he discribed word for word the life of the Cherokee and the other ttibes. Its just overwelming. ❤
Jay & Amber, you might like their "Just Like Me" and "Kicks"! For me, none of their other hits were as memorable as this one.
I’m 64 years old and I love my music and I raised my daughter on the great stuff and she will soon be 34 years old and she has my love of music, she will be having them play Rock Steady and Foreigner and all the other ‘s at sending off.
Very underrated group. Their best hits include:
"Good Thing", " Kicks", "Just Like Me", "Hungry", "Him Or Me, What's It Gonna Be".
All great suggestions.
What a great classic song
Mark Lindsay, the lead singer, also did the song "Arizona" which you previously reacted to a few months ago. This band had a few big hits like "Hungry", "Just Like Me", "Kicks", "Good Thing"-all solid pop/rock songs. They had a lot of different styles: bluesy on "Over You", songs that are totally 60s like "Too Much Talk","Cinderella Sunshine", "Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon" and a song I know Amber would love "Birds Of A Feather" as it's got the horns, it's about being in the country, all sweet hippy music.
Too Much Talk is amazing, and Mr. Sun Mr. Moon is a really good feel-good song.
Don't forget Let Me. A banger!
"Silver Bird" is yet another Mark Lindsay song that I have always liked.
I'm Irish, Dutch and Cherokee, my grandfather on my mom's side half Cherokee Irish preacher, grandmother was Dutch. To know he had to Break all kinds of barriers being Indian, mixed marriage, raised up in the 40s, to become one of the greatest church planters from the church of God ministry mostly in Georgia is a awesome testimony on the American dream.
I’ve always loved this band and song. So happy you are finally checking them out. The 70’s were an opening of all of our eyes to look deeper into what our government does. Past and present. I was born in 68, but was raised to look at everyone as just a human being and stop classifying by race. That may have something to do with being raised in Europe for some of my childhood. And when I learned what our country did to the Native people of this nation I was upset for them. Even if my ancestors didn’t come until late 1800’s. Learning about this history changed the way I think.
The recording has various "Wrecking Crew" musicians doing the heavy lifting. Hal Blaine is on drums, Carol Kaye on bass guitar, Artie Butler on keyboards.
That is one of those songs that you don't ever want it to end! Its such a great song, but its way too short!
Great song. Brought awareness to the struggle of Native Americans. We must strive to help each other to make our world a better place. Be the solution not the problem.
I really hope you'll check out Buffy Sainte-Marie. She's a Canadian-American singer of Cree heritage who got her start in the '60s as a singer songwriter and activist. She's in her 80s now and still performs.
Her song "Universal Soldier" was a huge hit for Donovan. I find her original recording very powerful. "Until It's Time For You To Go" is a beautiful love song that has been covered by many artists including Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley. "My Country: ’Tis of Thy People You’re Dying" is a powerful song about the gross injustices endured by indigenous peoples. She's the first indigenous person to win an Oscar for co-writing the song "Up Where We Belong", performed by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes for the film "An Officer and a Gentleman". And then there's her powerful protest song "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee".
Somewhere in the middle of all that she got blacklisted for her involvement with the American Indian Movement and was surprised years later to find out there's an FBI file on her.
This year, a documentary film about her life, music, and activism was released. "Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On" is well worth watching.
She's all WOKE now
@@wombatwilly1002 She's always been a progressive social activist.
Hi family how are you all today I hope this finds you HAPPY, HEALTHY AND WISE. The day I heard this song my heart cried. My family has Mexican Native blood and when I heard your reaction my heart cried again. I love this song. I love your channel🥰🤠🤓✌
I’ve always loved Paul Revere and the Raiders… They have a lot of great songs…Arizona… is one to listen to.
It’s really a lamentation of the Indian nation as a whole. The way the song is done it’s spine tingling dark and ominous. Yet it gives a glimmer of hope in the end. Cherokee nation will return.
Paul Revere and the Raiders were formed as a response to the British Invasion bands (Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, Herman's Hermits).
Thank you very much for doing this one. I'm so glad y'all love it too.
I used to be a greeter at the John Muriel Home in Park Hill back in the early 70's. Went to the Trail of Tears many times. Love your reactions.
How can this not bring a tear to your eye
I've always loved that this song used a beat that was vaguely American Indian, and managed to remain respectful to Indian people.
yes!
One eighth Cherokee here. Glad to know of your heritage Jay. My family pride is huge.
Hoping you will take a listen to Elton John's 'Indian Sunset', everytime I listen to it I can't help but shed some tears, but what a beautiful bittersweet tune. I remember this song well by Paul Revere and the Raiders and it is quite moving. Thank you Jay and Amber.
I heard this many years ago & l then studied all the different tribes. I luv this song still today.
From an Aussie
Love this song. So many memories. You have already heard the lead singer Mark Lindsay "Arizona" glad you finally got the whole band.
This song always gets me teary eyed.
They did take the whole cherokee recognition and move them all to a reservation. Many died during The Walk, Call the trail of tears
Simply an amazing song!
I understand that Mark Lindsey, the lead singer, is part native American, and I might be wrong, but I think I heard him say in an interview that Cherokee is part of his native American heritage. I was around 9 years old when my girlfriend Cheryl and I started getting into her older brother's record collection and we discovered Paul Revere and the Raiders. We played it because the album cover had these cute guys dressed in Revolutionary War Uniforms and there was a gorgeous dark-haired boy the center with a ponytail. Yes, we chose music solely on how cute the boys on the cover were. I have been a fan for 60 years, and I still think that Mark Lindsey was one of the best-looking singers ever. This was actually the last song the band put out that charted, and also their only number 1 song. Paul Revere, the organist died about 2 years ago, but I think Mark Lindsey is still alive and works in the recording industry as some sort of executive. He was actually an amazing saxophone player too. This band had hits from around 1963 to 1970. Another one of their big hits was "Kicks" which was actually an anti-drug song that charted at a time when sex, drugs and rock and roll were ramping up. I always figured that Paul Revere and the Raiders was pretty much a "bubble-gum band because of the costumes, the heartthrob eye-candy and the fact that so many of us teeny-boopers were their hardcore fans. But now as I actually listen to them they were a pretty hard rocking band. Not much in the way of ballads and love songs, more in line with the Rolling Stones than the Beatles or the Association.
I loved watching your expressions as you listened. An a amazing song!
The vibrato on that last organ note is coming out of a speaker that's spinning on a turntable connected to a foot pedal to adjust the speed of the turntable. It's called a Leslie speaker. Stevie Ray Vaughan was well known for playing his guitar through a Leslie speaker.
This song was NOT Paul Revere and the Raiders but it was actually a solo performance by Mark Lindsay and because of some contractual obligations the band appeared in this video and was credited with the single. None of the members of the band other than Lindsay were on the recording. Thanks for pulling up the Raiders. They were a fun band.
You're right. It was a Mark Lindsay follow up to his top 10 hit, "Arizona," which happens to be a song about a girl named Arizona, not the state.
It was recorded by Mark Lindsay and the Wrecking Crew with Hal Blaine doing that wonderful drum work. However, Paul Revere deserves credit. The story goes, he toured the country on his motorcycle, promoting the song, because he believed the song was going to take off on the charts, and it paid off. Even though the album covers say, "The Raiders," people still say Paul Revere and the Raiders due to the fanaminal success they had in the 1960's!
Despite what is said, Mark Lindsay was not Paul Revere. He was the keyboardist, Mark was the singer.
This was such a change in style for Paul Revere and the Raiders. Mark Lindsey (the lead singer here) took this in a much more low key way. Paul Revere (the organist) was known as a mad man of rock. He often played a organ with the front of a Ford Mustang covering the front of the organ. He was known for his stage antics. I was fortunate to meet him one time when they were playing a fair engagement. He was very easy to talk with and open to doing whatever it took to promote the show. They performed for close to 50 years I believe..
Always loved this song. Still do. It hits you hard.
Paul Revere and the Raider's version of this song came out in 1971, when I was a year old. My mom had it on a record and I remember being maybe kindergarten age and the instrumental part of this scared the beejezus out of me!
Ohhhhhh, I remember this song being played a lot at our elementary school summer recreation program in the cafeteria. That was 1972 I believe. Such great memories and song. Love it then and love it now. ❤❤
I'm an American. I live in a great country. A country born in genocide of Native Americans and built on the backs of slaves. We have a lot to atone for in this nation. A whole lot.
One needs to truly understand the entirety of the history of this continent before he makes judgement.
Paul Revere and the Raiders were very popular in the late 60's. They hosted a summer replacement series on ABC, Groups perform, kids dance. It was basically American Bandstand with them instead of Dick Clark. Paul Revere (yes, that is his real name) was the namesake of the group, though m,ark Lindsey was the lead singer.
I saw them several times in the 80s and 90s, and man, what a fun show they put on! Dancing in time with each other, Paul's nonsensical keyboard car, non-stop energy and silliness, ersatz colorful costumes and undeniable tightness and musical ability. On top of that they had some truly great songs. This lip-synch video is totally tame compared to their true live shows. They had tons of hits, thanks in part to their TV show Where the Action Is. Check out Hungry, Kicks or Just Like Me.
Been waiting for this reaction!!! Thanks!
Paul Revere and the Raiders were everywhere in the mid-60s. They were the house band for Dick Clark's Where the Action Is summer shows 9 shows on YT) and the later Happenings 68&69. They wore colonial matching uniforms and tri-cornered hats as a counterpoint to the British Invasion. They also pre-dated the Monkees. Some said the schtick with the uniforms and choreographed dance moves hurt their careers and to some degree it did. The group also had a revolving door for group members. However, all of them were very talented players. Take a listen to Kicks, one of the first anti-drug songs, and dig into their catalog. I think you might be surprised.
LYNNWOOD 😈 BRIAN- My uncle from Longview Washington one of his best friends was Paul Revere of the Raiders and I had some of their albums and loved their song Kicks.
Huge song in the 70's that had a huge impact on many of us.
Back to my childhood, loved them then and its still fantastic!
Mark Lindsay of the Raiders disappeared and to my knowlege was never seen again. In those days musicians and actors used to go into hiding occasionally to get away from everyone for a period of time. This was also, in my opinion, one their biggest hits of their career.
Mark Lindsay and Paul revere have always been a huge favorite. Also love the song kicks
I bought the 45 record of Indian Reservation from a Woolworth store for $1.00 back when the song was first released ✌️
Don Farden had a hit with this song in 1968, whilst Paul Revere & co had the biggest hit with it in 1971. I just listened to a version by a singer called Marvin Rainwater, who I believe was a Cherokee Indian, who originally released the song in 1959! Marvin's version was called "Pale Faced Indian", which is the original title of the song, and it's pretty good and spooky at the same time. Have a listen.
RIP to Paul Revere, long live the lead singer Mark Lindsay .
Elton John also did a big tribute to the Native Peoples Called Indian Sunset. If you don't cry...
Paul Revere was a special guy. I saw him about ten years ago in concert and he was still really a good performer but when he spoke to which he did a lot you realize this man has a lot of gifts that go beyond just music. . He should have been "The Worlds Most Interesting Guy" in that commercial.
In the early to mid 70's we moved to Southern MS, near Runnelstown and Petal, and we often found stone tips after fields were plowed and it had rained. It is said the Choctaw lived in this region, central and southern MS, before they too agreed to "Treaties" in the early 1800's to give up all of their land in MS (area of about 2/3 of the young state) for promised land in Oklahoma as well as an annuity. An annuity which there is no trace of ever being payed.
Loved this as a kid, and now! Thank you!
Only Mark Lindsay performed on the song. He used session players ( Wrecking crew) . It was supposed to be a solo record but it was decider to use the Raiders name. It's a cover song.
The song itself was first released in 1959..
Welcome to my generation...lol enjoy the music I still do, thankyou for the great memories.
"Let me" (Stereo Version) another great song of them.
Woohoo!! Was hoping you would do this ..... Thank-you!
I was a freshman in high school when this song came out. Many, many moons ago.
Just a great song!
Mark Lindsey 1/4 Cherokee from Oregon, blazed a little trail for the rest of us with Cherokee roots proud to native Americans. The worst atrocities occurred with native Americans, and still are. Go to a local pow-wow you’ll love it!
My grate grandmother was full blooded Cherokee indian, So I Love This SONG 😁
Chills for real. They got us here in North Carolina as well. Some of us hide in our Mountains and eventually got a reservation here we are all kin. If you have never read The Trail of Tears I suggest reading it
Hi Kids! Now you have to hear "Kicks" ... One of their first hits! They had a few indeed!
What a flashback! Really great and important song. Kicks, Hungry, and Good Thing are all really great bangers from this unique band.
