Chris Stein calls “The Hardest Part” “the first white funk song ever recorded” (although Wild Cherry would beg to differ). The band had hoped it would be a successful single in the United States, but it didn’t do as well as predicted.

[Verse 2]
Nitro and acetylene open la machine
No short heist, no overnight, big money take you to Brazil
Bullet-proof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive, we're going to pass

Ooh, I need to feel some hardened steel, deliver the big money deal
[Verse 3]
Of the armored guard here's what I heard
I'll tell you that he will no matter what you feel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
[Outro]
Twenty five tons of hardened steel deliver the big money deal
The Hardest Part was written by Chris Stein & Debbie Harry.
