In 1984, UTFO (Untouhable Force Organization) released a cut called, "Roxanne, Roxanne".  The song was an instant classic and sparked a fued between UTFO and Roxanne Shante who fired back with a song of her own, "Roxanne's Revenge".  On a more personal level, this song inspired me as a performer.  In the first verse, Kango boasts "I can sing, rap, dance in just one show".  Years later I would form Curb Service where I sing, rap, dance, play guitar, scratch - in just one show.  I win.
