Aaaah, it's a little-known fact that ahhhh...
That song was the focus of a boycott by several groups who considered it offensive to black women, even though it had originally been written by Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter, the legendary black folk and blues singer, and was RAMJAM's only hit. Occasionally, you'll hear it on "That 70s Show" and it is included on the "TSS" 'rock' soundtrack.

I suggest tracking down a copy of their album "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Ram". It's good.
