1. From PWEI's 'Radio PWEI'
2. "This is the sound of..."
PWEI's 'Hit the High-Tech Groove'
----------[[email protected]]
Preaching to the Perverted 1.PWEI`s 'Ugly'
----------[ Andrew Shires - [email protected] ]
2. The "for the ugly" bit in the chorus
Sounds a LOT like Robin Williams. I don't have the original to confirm this, though.
----------[ John Knutson - [email protected] ]3. "Go ahead..."
Clint Eastwood's classic line from 'Dirty Harry'
I think I hear "Groovy," from Ash from 'Evil Dead 2'. Also, I don't hear the Dirty Harry "Go ahead," so I may be misconstruing "Go ahead" for "Groovy"
----------[Jason D. Bardis - [email protected] ]4. "Kick a hole in the speaker"
Eric B. and Rakim (I don't know which song)
----------[[email protected]]
It could be from 'Paid In Full' - that was Eric B. and Rakim's main hit single.
----------[ Terry Walsh - [email protected] ]5. "This is the law!"
Animal men from the film 'The Island Of Doctor Moreau'
----------[ Dave Read - [email protected] ]6. Drumbeat (16 Different Flavours of Hell compolation version)
Sampled from 'Cicciolina'. (It features different lyrics, oddly)
----------[DJ Duncy C - [email protected] ]
The version on '16 Diff...' is in fact the remix version (by Flood I think, - though it could be Youth) which appeared on the 'Dance Of The Mad' single.
----------[ Terry Walsh - [email protected] ]
Mixed by Youth, Produced by Flood.
----------[ John Shepard - [email protected] ]7. In the remix version there are several little guitar samples
They're from Jimi Hendrix: 'Foxy Lady', from the riff right after he stops and says "Foxy lady".
----------[ Dave Read - [email protected] ]8. In the remix, they sampled "sheet" from "...stains on the sheet..." and inserted it into the following line so it becomes "...sheet on the pavement..." (Accompanied by a little censor's "beep").
Actually, I think it gives the tune a little more meaning, considering the police procedure of covering a murder victim with a sheet...
----------[ Dave Read - [email protected] ]9. "Can you dig it?"
From the film 'The Warriors'. (See comments in 'Can U Dig It?'.)
----------[ Dave Read - [email protected] ]10. "Oh yeah"
On the remix, it's taken from the Poppies' own 'Ugly'.
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]11. "Make some noise!"
The intro to the 'It Takes A Nation Of Millions' album by Public Enemy.
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]12. "Shake what you got!"
Salt 'N' Pepa, 'Shake Your Thang'
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]13. "Yeah that's right, kick it!"
A sample from a track that escapes me on Public Enemy's 'Yo! Bum Rush The Show'.
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]
More specifically, it seems to be a combination of a few of Flav's rants from track 12: 'Terminator X Speaks With His Hands' (last track). In that track, Flav says the following: "Kick that shit" right at the beginning of the song, and "That's right, bass for your face! Yeah, y'all. Rock that shit, homey!" from about 1 minute into the track.
----------[Jason D. Bardis - [email protected] ]
This sample is not pieced together. It is the very last thing that Flavor Flav says at the very end of 'Terminator X Speaks With His Hands'.
----------[ John Knutson - [email protected] ]14. "Hell yeah (Hell yeah)"
Talky bit before 'Terminator X To The Edge Of Panic' on Public Enemy's '...Nation Of Millions' album.
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]
It's Chuck D at the beginning of 'Caught, Can We Get a Witness', and not from 'Terminator X to the Edge of Panic'. Same album.
----------[ John Knutson - [email protected] ]15. "The perverts! The perverts! Coming out of the closet!"
The Shamen sampled this quote from some American evangelist on 'Jesus Loves America' (Is it Jimmy Swaggert?), so it could have come from either source.
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]I can't actually proffer much more evidence, but it is definitely a US tele-evangelist of mid-eighties vintage. Whilst watching Saturday 12th November's edition of 'Late Again' (a weekly compilation of the BBC arts strand 'The Late Show') there was an item on the Christian Right in the US, and their increasing interest in previously secular forms of media, including music and videogames. During this, there was a brief montage of US tele-evangelists, including a clip of a man (not Jim Bakker, but could easily be Swaggart) talking about how he was "...sick and tired of the commies, the pinkos... the atheists, the perverts... coming out of the closet..." and general ranting about the threat of nice, rational, tolerant people to the very fabric of society, etc. etc.
----------[ Dan Staines - [email protected] ]16. Oh yeah....if you're making note of stolen lines (as opposed to direct samples), the line "It's a far far better thing I do now"
Is right out of 'A Tale of Two Cities', first line of the book, in fact.
----------[Jason D. Bardis - [email protected] ]17. Drum loop from the very beginning
Well, I think it's a Funkadelic loop, but I've only seen it on breakbeat records. It's the same as used on PE's 'Brothers Gonna Work It Out'.
----------[ Frank O'B - [email protected] ]
Wise Up! Sucker 1. "She loves me not" (spoken)
Source Identified: It`s actually the man himself, Alan Moore (he who knows the score) reading from one of his 'Watchmen' comics. Verified by Clint.
----------[ Terry Walsh - [email protected] ]
The "she loves me, she loves me not" is Alan Moore reading from 'Swamp Thing' on an eightes chat show (So says Vox57)
----------[ Emong Nedrag - [email protected] ]
2. "She loves me, she loves me not"
Bits are sung by Miles Hunt of The Wonder Years (Clint's old flat-mate) - he's credited as 'Twig the WonderKid'.
----------[ Terry Walsh - [email protected] ]
The expression " Twig the Wonder Kid" refers to Twiggy, the 60's fashion model. David Bowie refers to her in the lyrics to 'Drive In Saturday' from the 'Aladdin Sane' album.
----------[ Dave Read - [email protected] ]Drum loop in Youth Remix
1.From James Brown - 'Into the Jungle Groove' (most sampled drum loop ever?)
----------[ Jan-Erik Saarinen - [email protected] ]
Sixteen Different Flavours of Hell 1. "Shee-eee-eee's"
PWEI's 'She's Surreal' off 'Go Box Frenzy'
2. PWEI's 'Wise Up! Sucker'
----------[[email protected]]
Inject Me 1. "You played it for her, now play it for me. Play it."
Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca
----------[[email protected]]2. About 2 minutes in, there's a sample of a girl singing.
It's also used on a B-side on the 'Wise Up Sucker ' 12", called 'Orgyone Stimulator'. You have to listen very hard to hear it. The sample makes up the basis of this tune.
----------[ Terry Walsh - [email protected] ]
3. The drum loop throughout the song (It's stark at the beginning; right after the plane flies over)
Funkadelic's 'Real Good Music' from their self titled album. (Pick it up. It's really good)
----------[ Frank O'B - [email protected] ]
Can U Dig It? 1. "RIFFS - YEAH!"
From the movie, `The Warriors`
----------[ Tim Ervin - [email protected] ]2. "Let's get down to it, boppers".`
The Warriors` again.
3. Under "let's get down to it boppers" (Also in Def.Con.One)
Brief Twilight Zone sample
----------[[email protected]]4. Now infamous Guitar Riff
Possibly 'We Care A Lot' by Faith No More.
----------[Joe Turner - [email protected]]
I reckon it's The Buzzard, myself, but this is not the time or place for a debate...
----------[ Terry Walsh - [email protected] ]
OK. My opinion is that it isn't Faith No More - I've got that song and although it's similar, I don't think it's sampled here.
----------[ Peter Vamplew - [email protected] ]
I think it sounds more like RamJam Corporation's 'Black Betty' than Faith No More's 'We Care A Lot'.
----------[ Mark Lambert - [email protected] ]
It doesn't seem to be a direct sample from any 'Yeah God' track I have, but the playing style is not dissimilar - presumably they got Buzzard in for a session.
----------[ John Shepard - [email protected] ]
I remember reading that the guitar riff is the Buzzard from Yeah God playing the Faith\ No More riff - I read this in an NME piece at the time ( yes, my mind does hang on to quite obscure pieces of info, sadly ).
----------[ Andrew - [email protected] ]
It says in the CD liner notes that it was Buzzard.
----------[ John Knutson - [email protected] ]5. "Can U Dig It?"
It comes from a late seventies/ early eighties film, 'The Omega Man'. Its about post apocalyptic L.A. the line is spoken by the leader of a group of mutants who are trying to kill the star of the movie (some old famous guy i should know). the line is repeated (2 or three different tones?)
----------[ [email protected] ]
The "famous old guy" is Chuck (Charleton) Heston, one of the most brilliantly bizarre actors around. (Others that come to mind are William Shatner and Kirk Douglas.) - _Dave_#6. "We like the music"
From "Yessir I can boogie" by some dodgy late seventies European duo whose name escapes me. Any offers, kitch fans?
----------[ M. Fawcett - [email protected] ]
Don't know where it's from, but it's not Baccara's 'Yes sir, I Can Boogie'. (kitsch fan, never thought I'd be called that!)
----------[ Jan-Erik Saarinen - [email protected] ]
The Fuses Have Been Lit 1. "...you pick the heart! And remember-" "Because bigger is better -- that old American tradition"
From the movie 'Robocop'
----------[ Paul Crowley - [email protected] ]2. "Elway is going for the bomb..."
As in football quarterback John Elway of the Denver Broncos. I think there are also samples from 'Transformers: The Movie' in here.
----------[ Brendan P. McFeely - [email protected] ]It's almost certainly from Superbowl XXII - Denver vs Washington. Ricky Nattiel scored on a bomb from Elway on Denver's first play.
----------[ Peter Vamplew - [email protected] ]3. "This is THIS... This ain't somethin' else!"
Robert DeNiro, from the film 'The Deer Hunter'
----------[ Dave Read - [email protected] ]4. "This is how we live!"
love and rockets' 'Jungle Law' off the Love and Rockets disk (1989).
----------[ brian johnston - [email protected] ]
Poison to the Mind 1. "Somewhere in the sprawling metropolis, another job for..."
This was taken from a Rice Krispies ad from ages ago where Snap, Crackle and Pop are portrayed as superheroes.
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]# Snap, Crackle and Pop Will Eat Itself! _Dave_ #
2. "Music is just... Organized noise"..."I don`t like songs"..."Poison to the Mind"
They're taken from a 60's British psychedelic movie called 'Wonderwall'. The film is pretty weird and concerns an old professor (I don't know the name of the actor who plays him) called Professor Collins who discovers a hole in the wall of his flat. Looking through the hole he sees the girl living in the adjoining flat, the girl being beautiful and a model (of course!), and becomes infatuated with her. The music to the film incidentally is by George Harrison and is pretty far out. In the scene that the samples come from Prof. Collins is talking to the girls boyfriend, who has come to his flat to `borrow' some sugar. They talk about music and the Prof. says he thinks that music is bad for the girl and in general. And that's where the samples come from.
----------[ R.Sanderson - [email protected] ]The Incredible! Rhyme Animal!
1.'Bring the noise', Public Enemy. ('It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back' is the album)
----------[ John Knutson - [email protected] ]
Def Con One 1. Music under "Big Mac, fries to go"
The Twilight Zone theme (along with part of the beginning monologue)
2. "Right now!"
The Creatures (Siouxsie and Budgie from the Banshees' side project), from their version of 'Right Now'
----------[[email protected]]
This sounds like something from a 60's chewing gum commercial!
----------[ Dave Read - [email protected] ]
It's definitely from the Creatures' track.
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]3. "Let's get down to it boppers"
The film The Warriors'
----------[ Tim Ervin - [email protected] ]Special tie-in note: Renegade Soundwave uses the last line from 'The Warriors' on the 12th song of their CD 'Soundclash'.
----------[ Tim Ervin - [email protected] ]
The song is called 'Ozone Breakdown'. And it's the 13th track.
----------[ John Shepard - [email protected] ]4. Drum track in the single verstion of 'Def. Con. One'
Sampled from 'Beat Dis' by Bomb the Bass. The drums were re-recorded for the album version though (unfortunately).
5. Drum 'roll' at beginning and repeated throughout tune
This is in fact from the song, 'Dancing in the Street'. It's the very beginning to the song..
----------[ Scott Kozicki - [email protected] ]6. High pitched melodic line after "Ground floor... coming up!"
Melody from Lipps Inc's 'Funky Town' (sampled or rerecorded?)
Sampled from the Aussie group Pseudo Echo's cover version of Lipps Inc's 'Funky Town'. (verified by Graham Crabb)
----------[ Darren White - [email protected] ]7. The "ground floor - coming up" line
Could be a quote from the graphic novel 'Watchmen' by Dave Gibbons & Alan Moore (Who is also referred to in 'Can U Dig It?').
----------[ Dave Read - [email protected] ]
The whole song has Watchmen quotes from "Big Mac, fries to go!" to "Ten to Doomsday".
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]
I once re-read the whole book on special look-out for DefCon1 lyrics. Found:
8. "Watchmen' (everywhere)
9. 'Ground Floor coming up' (Lift attendent at start of story)
10. "How sick is Dick, how gone is Ron?" (Newspaper headline)
11. "Def Con 1" (several)
and... err... nothing else. Some quotes probably missed my attention, and there are a few things which could be 'corrupted' (e.g. I couldn't sleep --> can't get no sleep) but there was definitely no 'Big Mac, Fries to go'. Other 'Watchmen' Side notes: The cover art for 'DefCon1' is heavily based on (read: copied from) a page from Watchmen. (as for other 'sampled' Designers Republic artwork, you could probably write a whole FAQ!) Watchmen writer Alan Moore is namechecked in 'Can U Dig It?'
----------[ John Shepard - [email protected] ]12. "To the left/To the right y'all"
Run DMC (?)
----------[[email protected]]13. The "Whaa" bits in the chorus
From the Osmonds' 'Crazy Horses'
----------[ Terry Walsh - [email protected] ]14. Squealy guitar
'Wild Horses' (?) by Eric Clapton (Not sure, will come to me in time)
----------[ Martin Grainger - [email protected] ]15. Salt 'N' Pepa, 'My Mike Sounds Nice'
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]
16. Guitar riff under "Watchmen, we love you all"
Almost certainly the main riff from "I wanna be your dog" by Iggy and the Stooges (the one-finger piano gave it away)
----------[ M. Fawcett - [email protected] ]17. "What's the time?"
From Beastie Boys' 'Time to get ill'. It's the b-side of the 'Fight for your right to party' single.
----------[ Petter Trfdal - [email protected] ]18. In the chorus you hear someone saying "Confidence is high, repeat, confidence is high."
This is from the movie 'War Games' with Matthew Broderick. There are probably several other samples from 'War Games' in there, but that's the most readily identifiable one.
----------[ John Knutson - [email protected] ]19. At the start, just after "Check 1!", "We're at Def Con One"
From the film 'War Games', at the point where Matthew Brodderick has just managed to convince the DoD's computer that World War Three has started. I think.
----------[ Craig - [email protected] ]20. Album version: "You're traveling through another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and of sound, but of mind. Your next stop... the Twilight Zone."
an unknown Twilight Zone TV episode
----------[ Douglas W. Bonser - [email protected] ]21. 7" mix: "Tonight's tale of the ionosphere and irony.
Delivered from... the Twilight Zone." (Also from an unknown Twilight Zone episode.)

4. "That's Right"

----------[[email protected]]5. "Yeah, that's right, kick it!"
Flavor Flav of Public Enemy - could be any of a number of Public Enemy songs.
----------[ Douglas Bonser - [email protected] ]6. Not a sample, but the line "We'll talk of anything, everything if you want, thing."
Is very similar to the following line from Pink Floyd's 'Bike' off of 'The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn': "I'll give you anything, everything that you want, thing."
----------[ Douglas Bonser - [email protected] ]7. "Astley's in the noose..."
- A reference to The Wonder Stuff's 'Astley In The Noose'??
----------[ Douglas Bonser - [email protected] ]8. The horn fanfare at the beginning
Is taken from some James Brown track ('This Is A Man's World'?).
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]9. "Say turn it up! Suckers! Suckers!"
This is from some track or other by KRS 1 / Boogie Down Productions.
----------[ Simon Salwan - [email protected] ]
Boogie Down Productions' 'My Philosophy' (Very end).
----------[ Frank O'B - [email protected] ]10. The guitar riff throughout
Comes from 'Two Tribes' by Frankie Goes To Hollywood, off the album 'Welcome to the Pleasure Dome'. It is featured quite heavily in the remixes of this song and PWEI probably either sampled or "wet sampled" it from there.
----------[ jon bentsson - [email protected] ]11. Announcer: "Radio"
From the first wave of blooper records in US, the announcer.
----------[ Frank O'B - [email protected] ]12. "As we listen to these songs of joy... For us... and to us... and through us..."

----------[ DJ Duncy C - [email protected] ]3. (I) Much of the musical structure is from a large sample of 'Mama' by Genesis.
Satellite Ecstatica 1. "Do not panic"
From 'Sonic Attack' by Hawkwind and Michael Moorcock (written by Michael, performed by Hawkwind, I think).
----------[ John Knutson - [email protected] ]2. Trumpet blaring throughout song

----------[ Frank O'B - [email protected] ]
Not Now James, We're Busy 1. "I wanna get into it, man, you know!" "Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do my thing" "We're gonna do a song..." "Whaaaooah!!"

Wake Up! Time to Die... 1. One of the musical elements (I can't exactly describe it!) -- a sort of heavy clashing sound --
Is a sample from `Kray Twins' by Renegade Soundwave
----------[ Andrew Shires - [email protected] ]2. "Wake up! Time to die!"
From the film 'Bladerunner ' - Leons says it before he is about to kill Deckard
