It's always a treat to get a mashup of two (or more) familiar songs from Bill McClintock. Usually, they are shockingly different songs that meld in a surprising way. This time, the two main songs are thematically similar- they are about a working woman.
Donna Summer's 1983 hit "She Works Hard for the Money" was inspired by a tired restroom attendant she met at a Grammy afterparty. The song is about all blue-collar women. On the other hand, the 1978 song "Roxanne," the first hit by The Police, is definitely about a sex worker. Together, the two songs seem to be about a really hard-working prostitute. You can also appreciate a 1970s disco singer with an '80s hit mashed up with an '80s band's song from the 1970s.
Musically, McClintock shows his skill at making disparate rhythms work together better than they should. There are also snippets of "Never Enough" by L.A. Guns and "Round and Round: by Ratt in this mashup.
