The song includes a chanted portion used in live shows since early 1987, "People, people. I’ve got a brand new dance", which mentions [[Housequake]]. The track ends with [[Boni Boyer]] singing lyrics from [[Take My Hand, Precious Lord]]. Interestingly, chants and background vocals from [[The Line]] were sampled on remixes for [[Partyman]] | The song includes a chanted portion used in live shows since early 1987, "People, people.

Interestingly, chants and background vocals from [[The Line]] were sampled on remixes for [[Partyman]] in 1989. A scream by [[Boni Boyer]] from this track (as well as the same chants sampled on [[Partyman]] remixes) was later used in the opening seconds of [[Acknowledge Me]] (credited incorrectly to "Bonni Boyer"), with the liner notes stating that [[The Line]] was "2 b released at a later date". The song remains unreleased, however. | ||
