I was just listening to this song the other day. I've always liked this song, and thought it had such a great dance groove that I played it at a party in 1984. I got the strangest looks from those on the dance floor -- because, it seems, the party goers were actually paying attention to lyrics. :-) It's like we have the same record collection, David.

We considered the album to be somewhat of a big wink/joke. When “Undercover” came out, I remember my friends and I being amused that side one was all sex and side two was all violence.

I especially love this remix for all the extra Mick vocals added to it. The video was awesome too. You haven't lived till you've seen Keith Richards chasing Mick Jagger with a chainsaw. “Dance with a one-legged woman!” I especially love this remix for all the extra Mick vocals added to it.

Same confusion would've extended to "Undercover of the Night" as well as the video for "She Was Hot". Keep in mind they were still being marketed to a teen audience (to some extent) and that must've been a factor in their decision to play it safer when it came to image and subject matter (well, that and the Steel Wheels tour money).

The song is about as anti-violence as they get. <br><br>"Let's Work" sucked ass. Did people miss the part where the song's called “Too Much Blood,” not “Gimme More Blood”?

“Let's Work” sucked ass.

Critical reaction to this track was probably directly responsible for Mick Jagger shifting allegiances to Columbia Records, hence "State of Shock", "Harlem Shuffle", "Let's Work" ad nauseum ...
