"Shit."

"What?"

"Rollers."

"Naw!"

"Yup."

"Shit."

Odd thing is they couldn't stand each other!  {#Lol}  This and Soul Man both brilliant and both in "the library".

Back story of this songs creation courtesy of Bob Lefsetz:

Isaac Hayes was at the organ, David Porter was in the bathroom, it was late at night, they were writing a song, Isaac was impatient, he implored Porter to come back into the studio. Porter yelled out HOLD ON, I’M COMIN’!

And then Porter immediately came out of the loo with his pants around his ankles, screaming THAT’S IT!

When I hear this I recall THE BLUES BROTHERS. This song was playing during the first chase scene, right before Jake and Elwood take a tour of a shopping mall.
 
That's right, Elwood pushes the tape into the tape player, Sam & Dave starts up, and the cops give chase ('rollers') On another level, it's sad though how 'Atlantic' helped to screw over 'Stax' during the Sam & Dave era, by tricking them into signing away the rights to the original master recordings for all of Stax's Atlantic-distributed recordings

Both label logos are classics

Classic by The Sultans of Sweat.  My memories of this tune long precede arrival of The Blues Brothers though.
