Bill this song needs to play Friday @ 5:00 in every time zone.  Cause when those horns start I'm ready to start strutin out those doors.  This is the perfect "Tschüs na!" song.

Inadvertently funny. This is like an American asking a German, "Send me a picture of you playing the tuba in your lederhosen!"

Oh how I love Wikipedia!  It lists all of the songs RJD2 sampled in this track.  What a wide variety!  No wonder we all think it's somehow familiar, we probably have heard bits of it before:

"I Didn't Understand" by Elliot Smith
"Secretary" by Betty Wright
"Timesteps" by Wendy Carlos and "William Tell Overture" (from the soundtrack to the film A Clockwork Orange)
"Outside Woman Blues" by Cream
"A Taste of Honey" by Paul Desmond
"Ready or Not Here I Come" by The Delfonics
 
that's pretty cool!

That's amazing that (per Bill) this was released in 1981, with the guy being born in 1976 and all....  Talk about a prodigy!!  ;)

Definitely some Death in Vegas influence in there I think.  Very similar sound but about 5 years later.

hahahaha!!  good catch — who types in the song info anyway?  lots of typos......  2002 is the correct release date.  If it were released in 1981, the guy behind RJD2 was only 5 years old...  {#Shifty}

To clear the confusion from below...
(With apologies to Amazon...)

Biography

RJD2 is an instrumental hip-hop artist and producer. His debut album, Deadringer, was released on Definitive Jux in 2002 to rave reviews, many of which claimed it was like a sequel to DJ Shadow's masterpiece Entroducing.... The following year he released The Horror, which featured one CD of rarities and b-sides, and a multimedia disc of videos and animations. His second proper album, Since We Last… Read more in Amazon's RJD2 Store

I drop-kicked cable a year ago. I don't miss it.  I got a PVR, which works nicely with broadcasts, even HD. I can't do commercials but there are some things worth watching.  Glad I can record stuff like Austin City Limits and some of the other cream that manages to rise to the top.

Oh yeah, I have a lot of great hobbies too.  I think I would like quilting.
