Urban Dance Squad - Deeper Shade of Soul - Live Jay Leno (1991)

Surprise, surprise
So you rub your eyes
Never knew uds, so cool as ice?
Hear the vibes man, they'll stupefy
Ducks - categorize us as hard criers
That's a lie, we know why we're occupiers
No blurs, but obscure styles, these are higher
Profiles are low - as soon as we go
As a breeze straight from a deeper shade of soul

Five souls play the head role
Excite the middle between the two poles
The globe rotates from new to old
Uds take both to reach the souls
Narrowmind clydes, still holding a pose
What we pour 'n flow when we come close
To the contrary, they pinch their earlobes
They call it rogue-rock, but it's a deeper shade of soul

We blend everything, with the color of skin
Under the skin, we're in like Flynn
Ducks stare at us, as soon as we begin
To innovate the frame of thought they're in
Again, music's got to do with only feeling
Not where you're from, it's 'can' they yield in
The stuff that we rock and what we're giving
A piece of the mind connects the rhythm

I saw them on their first U S. Tour and they played S.F. opening up for FUNGO MUNGO and the LIMBOMANIACS and when they came out with this one nobody moved! I tried to get the crowd going and they were trying not to get into it...sooo lame. They were better than the other bands that night and I have liked them ever since.

I love this clip for the history but I feel like the band must've been disappointed with themselves after this performance. Or maybe they were just better in the studio.

I still think that the studio version of this song and the Mentalfloss album as a whole are true gems of groundbreaking early 90's music and are way underappreciated.
