look at this hit the monkey harder than 200 miles an hour and you hear a fragment of a song.
I know it's far fetched but I've looked everywhere.do you recognise it?

it sounds like a medley of another one bites the dust and something i cant place
412 mph btw what does it go up to

I've had it over 1000mph, there's a trick to doing it.

It does kinda sound like 'another one bites the dust' to start with but then it sounds like a disco tune.

the trick is to bring the hand as far from the monkey and then leave with your mouse the "window" and enter at the other side of the monkey and thus making the hand fly toward where you point your mousse and hitting the monkey

I heard that tune a lot in a Borg Cube, I mean an 80s disco. It's hard to tell the difference

Post Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:29 pm

guys guys guys! don't you recognise a classic when you hear one??! The baseline is absolutely, 100% definitely, "Rappers Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang. An 80s classic immortalised by the old woman in "The Wedding Singer"....let me refresh your memories....

"I said a hip hop,
Hippie to the hippie,
The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it
To the bang bang boogie, say, up jump the boogie,
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat."

Any clearer??!

I'm actually pretty convinced that the whole sample is taken from Rappers Delight, although I don't remember the female vocal "good times" that you hear at the beginning...that sounds like a sample taken from one of the Pointer Sisters disco classics. However, its possible that the sample was taken by the Sugarhill Gang and I simply never noticed before.

Has that put you all out of your misery?

All kneel...the music-nerd has spoken...

thanks gromit I'll give it a try, you are my idol

Post Sat Sep 06, 2003 11:42 am

but who was Rappers Delight robbed from, at least large parts of it? and with whom did the victim of this plagiaristic robbery shortly have a chart success, and with what tune?

Post Sat Sep 06, 2003 2:08 pm

its ACTUALLY not rappers delight (shock!)
its ACTUALLY "grandmaster flash and the adventures of the wheels of steel".
Ok so the main vocals for that section was from rappers delight, but grandmaster flash remixed the tune way back when, and mixed in a load of other stuff (hence the "good times" bit).

so yay, i win!

AND as a double entendre, i own rappers delight on vinyl, see:

and i dunno who sugarhill nicked lyrics off, they nicked the bassline off 'Chic' though
