Young Holt Unltd with Soulful Strut - a fan video

You'd be sitting there in home room at TC, waiting for classes to begin, or be disrupted; listening to the student radio station over the loudspeakers. And then the morning's announcements would always take place, preceded by this song. One always ignored the announcements - no one gave a rat's ass about the pep rally or the Key Club car wash, but the song stuck with you. Very cool.
The old school is gone, knocked down to make way for supposedly bigger and better things. (It is amusing that at the time of its demolition, the work crews were suddenly removed for several weeks due to hazmat concerns. Me and ten thousand other kids go there for years and it's okay, but a couple dozen illegals and hardhats are asked to go in and it's "Whoa! Bring out the Andromeda Strain Suits!". Life was always cheap at TC...
At any rate, although I can't lay any personal claim to coolness in high school, collectively, we were THE coolest. And Soulful Strut was as good and expressive a theme song expressing that as you could ask for.
