“Did you know that the band that does that song is mostly white, including the lead singer?”

I had wondered about that.....I only heard the song on the radio over the years. I never saw the band in a visual medium.
But I still don’t like the song.
The band that did the song was basically a garage band that played minor gigs around town. That song started as an instrumental jam, to warm up and caught on when someone in the audience said: “hey, play that funky music white boy”. They added the lyric and became a one hit wonder.
