'He's Misstra Know-It-All' – 3:25 ( Stevie Wonder)ī.

The song is essentially a long description of a know-it-all confidence trickster character who is a 'man with a plan', who has a slick answer to all his critics and who has 'a counterfeit dollar in his hand.' It has been alleged that this is a reference to United States' President Richard Nixon. The song was released again in 1977 in both the UK and US as the B-side to ' Sir Duke'. Towards the end of the song the mood changes to a stronger feel, more strident singing and with hand-claps emphasising the beat, half-beat and quarter-beat.

Willie Weeks, on electric bass, is the only other musician. Ethereal flute-like sounds are provided by his TONTO modular synthesiser. The song takes the form of a mellow ballad with a steady beat, principally a solo performance with Wonder providing lead vocal, background vocal, piano, drums, handclaps and congas. ' He's Misstra Know-It-All' is a single by Stevie Wonder for the Tamla ( Motown) label, from his Innervisions album, which reached number 10 on the UK Singles Chart in May 1974.
