Hmm...

We'd like to take this opportunity now to play you a little thing that 
we learned from Mr. James Brown the King of soul music
Now this ain't soul music, mind you, this is rock music
But it's got soul to it, if you can dig that
And now the band would like to play a new riff they just learned
we call a sockin'-it-to-you riff
And it-uh goes something like this

Alright — are you ready boys?
Let me hear you do it one time just once c'mon
Huh! Ah that's it, do it again!
Huh! Oh come on!
Oh it feels so good, do it again!
Alright, come on! Huh!
