If you've never heard the song you've probably heard it sampled on any one of 6 or 7 dance tracks. Was panned by critics on release but I think it's one of their best songs.

Another song she introduced me to was https://youtu.be/oEYgSuIWPTs which of course I knew from the solo around the 2min mark which was sampled in this https://youtu.be/JGHwNy9ZMts
In fact it was from there I realised just how awesome James Brown and his associated acts were and how many songs of his were sampled in tracks I loved.
Ice T- You Played Yourself sampled The Boss
Blackstreet- No Diggity sampled Blind Men Can See It
Blues and Pants was used by both Ice T in New Jack Hustler and Geto Boys in Scarface
Hot Pants was sampled in Eric B & Rakims classic Paid in Full.
Insane in The Brain = Say It Loud
The Payback = En Vogue "Hold On" and Ice Cube "Jackin for Beats"
Here Comes the Hotstepper = Bobby Byrd "Hot Pants"
Fuck Tha Police - Funky President
Funky Drummer - Gett Off by Prince
The Grunt - Rebel Without a Pause, Night of the living Baseheads and Protect Ya Neck.
Public Enemy also used James Brown samples on Welcome to the Terrordome (2 different songs), Bring The Noise and so on.

The good Doctor Alban prescribes you a classic 90s summer dance tune, this song takes me back to my teens sneaking in to clubs with a fake ID with all my mates and all the girls wearing white under the uv lights...
I’ve got new found appreciation of classic rock n roll:
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Here’s a live version:
https://youtu.be/xbhCPt6PZIU
That riff at the end is a work of pure genius!
Also rocking:
Eric Clapton / Derek and the Dominos - Layla (incredible guitar work and killer second half tune!)
The Boomtown Rats - I Don’t Like Mondays (the tune is so hypnotic, I can see how it could compel someone to a mass shooting!)
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone (I find it very poetic)
My favourite Zepp song has always been Kashmir.Quote:

You'd probably appreciate Rainbow as well

Also I don't like Monday's is actually about a mass shooting, not the reason for...
Yeah you're right about I Don't Like Mondays. Somehow I thought it inspired a shooting. Might've confused it with another song.Quote:

The thing that pissed me off about I don't like Monday's is whwn radio stations play it on a Monday and the moron DJ clearly has no idea of the history and is like "yeah I know how they feel" kind of bullshit, it's literally about a girl who shot up a playground, and when she was asked why she did it said "I don't like Mondays."Quote:

You might also dig Dio https://youtu.be/qcWKZTI9OC4
Lol, everytime someone brings up Dio, I just think about Southpark! Holy Diver bro, check it out! lmlQuote:

Ending song at a funeral I went to recently. Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round, yeah!!!

Happy New Year - ABBA.
This is fucking spooky. I was in Brisbane for Christmas and while I was there I was in a pub and they had "Hammerhead" by James Reyne playing while I was there. A day or two later, I was at a different pub on the Sunshine Coast and it was on again at a coffee shop I was in. Today at Woolies at Town Hall it was playing over their system as well. Has James Reyne re-released it or is it just a co-incidence?
A great fan of Aussie Crawl and James Reyne, but that song really needs subtitles.........Quote:

Think this may have something to do with the copyright issues around playing music in commercial businesses. It's a bit of a legal minefield if you try to do it on your own, so there's an organisation called OneMusic Australia that specialises in getting the licenses and compiling playlists for businesses to use in their venues to make it easier for them to just have music playing in their place of business.Quote:

Yes, that is quite possible.Quote:
