{Oversampled, but not too well known to laymen. Starts out with the a well-sampled monologue ("Let Me Tell You Somethin'!", see Das EFX). This also contains the familiar James Brown and Bobby Byrd yelps (they did the production and instrumentation) in the background of "It Takes Two" and most of the others, too. Bits of that funky break are best heard on "Goes Like Dis" and the end of "Children's Story."}
