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...
