Track 5 of Graceland features some great, inventive bass guitar work, brass, steady percussion and, of course, Ladysmith Black Mambazo providing fantastic background vocals to start and end the track.

The phrase “diamonds on the soles of her shoes” is full of imagery and symbolism when you consider the idea of placing something as valuable as a diamond on the part of the shoe that always touches the ground. It’s almost quite literally “walking on money” and even more so “trashing money”.

The entire song becomes an allegory of when two extremes start to blend together.
