I guess we'll just have to wait 50 years to see if you are correct.

Let's see what was popular 50 years ago: May 1963:

"If you Wanna Be Happy" by Jimmy Soul
"Foolish Little Girl" by The Shirelles
"Can't Get Used to Losing You" by Andy Williams - (that's still on everyone's playlist).
"Puff (the Magic Dragon)" by Peter, Paul & Mary.
"Linda" by Jan and Dean.
"Reverend Mr. Black" by the Kingston Trio.
and many more familiar tunes, but don't know who is still listening to them.

I was a student living in Bristol at the time of triphop 94/97 i think it was, saw these guys at the uni.    the songs are still in my regular playlist.  Im just dissapointed that RP choose to play this remix.  it doesn't have the simplicity or finess of he first cut.

Aside from the play on words (trigger happy) there is the background vocal saying "drop in," as well as the opening lyric "tune in, drop out."  All of that a bit of a play on Timothy Leary's "turn on, tune in, drop out."  Maybe it's an homage to hippies...  

Love this track, regardless.

Zoom in, cut out, add sound, 
Make it feel so trippy
Hung up, let down to ground,
Forget the kill it's far to sticky

Love love love, i'm a trigger hippie, yeah
Love love love, we're trigger hippies, yeah.

A play on words.  Trigger happy -> trigger hippy. Something someone dreamed up while tripping?

Give it your own meaning. :)
