Nation of Ulysses also appropriated the main verse line, and wove it heavily into lyrics of one of their songs on “Plays Pretty for Baby”. Maybe noteworthy, maybe not… but this is definitely one of those songs that draws a lot of critique by participation or appropriation, and from many different sources. How could it not?
