Philadelphia wrote the Constitution with the windows nailed shut, then ran itself for two centuries on a nod, a handshake, and a folding chair: nothing ever wrote down that no building could rise taller than the statue's hat, and for generations nobody did anyway.

Frantic Afro-Cuban bebop welded to a full symphony orchestra, cut-time swing at 228 BPM over a hard clave, led by a screaming solo trumpet answered by big-band brass and strings, with male and female leads trading verses in a broad working-class Philadelphia accent.
