Fishbone ~ Modern Industry/The J.B.'s ~ Damn Right I'm Somebody (Love and Happiness) You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Wow! I've never heard that JBs track before. I thought Fishbone was the first band to do a song with nothing but names and call letters of different radio stations.
I've been a FB fan ever since "Modern Industry", "Ugly", and "Party At Ground Zero"! | |

Some groups would record a special version of their current singles for the local radio stations. I remember Whodini did this with Five Minutes Of Funk, where an extra verse was added to the beginning. I haven't heard it since then, but I think the group was naming the DJ's on the R&B station. Rock Master Scott & The Dynamic Three also did this on Request Line for the same station. For awhile, the station would play these special versions instead of the regular ones.
