This brilliant song has always givn me huge problems. I'm pretty hostile to political correctness, but it seems to me unperformable in most company. The racism and use of the word nigger is inbuilt, it is the core of the song. yet it is a superb record, and very very funny. But the fact remains that the whole power of the song is the indignation of the singer that Riley, a white man, should send round a "nigger driver" to reposess the furniture. I can fully understand the sentiment in the context of the era it came from, but there's no way I could stand up on stage and sing it with the venom it requires, not even in a postmodern ironic way. Which is a great shame, because it's one of the best songs I've ever heard. And you cant clean it up, because that removes the whole point of the song.
