This is a strange blend of hip hop and pop music, with a little funk around the edges. It's by far the band's most well-known song, reaching #6 on the Billboard charts. It's the second single in a row for the group that opens with part of the theme from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly playing over the beginning. I'm not sure what the thinking is there, but their previous single, "Single Life," had the same kind of...homage, I guess...at the beginning of the song. Korn also released a popular version of the song, but I think the original holds up best.
The video for the Cameo version also helped to push the song into the spotlight. Back when MTV still showed music videos, this was one of the most popular. Featuring TV star Levar Burton, the video shows the band being hunted down by a police detective (Burton), while performing their song in different settings. Even today, the video remains popular. The band's Vevo channel on YouTube has over eleven million views on this video alone.
