Welcome back to Hard Labor and Money Splashes! In this episode, we begin our song-by-song review of The Rolling Stones 1983 album, Undercover, starting with the lead single and title track, "Undercover (of the Night). Released in the fall of 1983, the song is both a political protest anthem disguised as a rocker AND a Top Ten hit with a great dance groove. The song's accompanying video (shot by Julien Temple) was banned by many media outlets upon initial release, ostensibly for its violent content, but perhaps more for its unflinching depictions of political unrest in Central and South America? (And the United States' role in that unrest?)
