Who sampled




We all love the track `Barbra Streisand` by Duck Sauce. They took the sample from Boney Ms hit single `Gotta Go Home` from 1979. Well, `Gotta Go Home` is another cover song. The song is called "Hallo Bimmelbahn" by Nighttrain from 1973. It was written and composed by Heinz Huth, Jürgen Huth and Michael Holm. Nighttrain was a band from Berlin, Germany, consisting of brothers Heinz and Jürgen Huth. The Nighttrain version doesn't have the sax riffs though, so they obviously come from Julie Driscoll's `Tramp` from 1967. The songwriters for `Tramp` are Jimmy McCracklin & Lowell Fulsom. `Tramp` was recorded in 1967 by other artists too, most notably Otis & Carla (Redding & Thomas) and Fulsom himself. Fulsom's own version doesn't have the sax riffs but Otis' does... So there's now two possibilities where the sax riffs come from: the Otis or Driscoll version. `Tramp` was also covered by Salt 'N Pepa in 1986 on their debut album and used a little while later as the b-side to their huge hit `Push It`. Their version has the sax riffs too. So enjoy...

Back in the days



Shakira’s “Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)” has been named the official song of the 2010 World Cup. Hate it or love it! But a Latin American singing the anthem for the first African World Cup? That ain’t right. So check out the original song. It´s from a group called `Zamina` out of Cameroon and was a big hit in 1986. Enjoy...




and here is a nice acapella version of the song...






as a bonus enjoy this song played by Capetown-based Freshlyground, an eclectic band with African rhythms at the heart of their music and several wonderful vocalists, lead by Zolani Mahola. Why not just have them play the official song?
