There’s a concept in sports called “working the refs.” Basically, it means whining, moaning, and complaining so that you get better calls.

On the original 1981 hit, the sharp-edged synthesizers and dramatic lovers’ quarrel are what make the song so captivating. Ndegeocello opts for laid-back reggae accented by warm…
