[edit] The Love of Richard Nixon

I deleted the statement in the first paragraph, ", stopping the Manic Street Preachers from reaching number one with "The Love of Richard Nixon"" as it didn't seem important to the article. But I don't live in the UK so it might have some significance that I am unaware of --WikiWizard 12:41, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heavy use of samples

This song makes very heavy use of the Valerie track. It may be the first of the modern era dance tracks to so heavily feature repeated loops of one sample. Many songs have done so afterwards ("say say say" for example). Is this the first modern track to feature a looped sample so prominently, insofar as it makes up nearly the complete song? -- M.R. 11:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely not. Utah Saints "Something Good" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zU_ec1qmT0 is very similar in style, it relies on just one sample from Kate Bush's "Cloudbusting" but reworked to become a completely different song. "Believe In Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25mkfIBqZX0 which samples the Human League is similar. "What Can You Do For Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAJbBRSxg6E is their best known, but it uses three different songs instead of one. All these songs are from 1991.

PS how could I forget Boogie Pimps "Somebody To Love" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGcH6YQETys of 2003 213.73.65.62 17:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] links to videos, especially parodies

What's the point of linking to parodies? --moyogo 18:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Whoever removed the external links is mistaken. The parodies reflect the song's impact on the culture. The presence of these links is at least as encyclopedic as an article on the "All your Base" phenomenon.

[edit] Roulé/pridz problem

Sorry for my english, i'm french. Feel free to correct my aproximative english in the article. I made a minor edit about the origin of the track. As a dj, i received the white label from thomas bangalter/dj falcon -call on me, prior to its release by prydz. Then there was the clearance right problem at roulé records. The track by bangalter/falcon was almost the same. Every dj in France know the track was "stolen'. (Quite the same story as "bob sinclar - gym tonic", altough sinclar mentioned it as a "thomas bangalter remix" (even if there's no original one)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.57.253.116 (talk • contribs)
