"Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution'" is the second single from American contemporary folk artist Tracy Chapman. The politically activist song failed to replicate the success of its predecessor, "Fast Car", and peaked at #75 in the United States. However, it also managed to chart on four other charts maintained by "Billboard" (which brings out the weekly US chart), and reached the top forty in two of them. [Artist Chart History: Billboard.com [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?model.vnuArtistId=4271&model.vnuAlbumId=725666] ] The song was subsequently covered by singer Ben Jelen on the Russell Simmons/Babyface-produced all-star compilation Wake Up Everybody in 2004. This song was also covered by Reel Big Fish on their 2005 album We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not Happy and Chamberlain as a B Side to "five year diary".
