You never hear this track anymore.

It was once very popular because it espoused racial tolerance and inclusiveness. It speaks of one race – the human race – and a desire for us all to blend together in peace and harmony. However, I suppose it was that one line – “Curly Latin kinkies, mixed with yellow chinkies” which, not surprisingly, saw it gradually removed from the playlists of every radio station in the country. But the vernacular back then was very different. And perhaps the quality of the song and the sincerity of its sentiments will one day be allowed to outweigh that one clumsy line.
