This song just happens to be one of the most arranged songs in marching band. I think the horn section licks and bassline makes this song legendary. You also have to keep in mind that this song was made in the 80's. You might think it sounds like crap now, but back then it was quite popular. |

This song is legendary among HBCU bands. I even heard LSU band playing this song. The majority of the kids playing in these bands have never heard the original song.

Yep and the same could go for Cameo's song "Skin I'm In" which was basically T's theme song for years. The Machine made fans from other HBCU bands with that song. I personally knew a few FAMU bandmembers that went crazy when they saw a video of A&T playing this song. I think it was the Rivalry Classic with SCSU in '96 that I actually saw a UNIFORMED 101 bandmember stepping (obviously Kappa Kappa Psi) while we were playing it. Those were the days.  |

Year's ago NSU played it's version of the song. It had the NSU student and Alumini believing it was an NSU pep song. of course, I had to remind these it was a Cameo's song

I HATE the fact that the band doesn't play Skin anymore. That was my joint and we owned that song. They should at least play it at homecoming. That song was/is live. |
