This was a brilliant A&R move by the guys at Astralwerks. Put Gavin, Robbie and Scott Hardkiss in a studio with Kool Keith and lets see what happens. Kinda like when Salvador Dali and Alice Cooper collaborated on the First Cylindric Crono-Hologram Portrait of Alice Cooper’s Brain in 1973.
I went to Toys-R-Us and bought some snorkeling goggles and plastic mermaid paraphernalia and we mailed a care package to Kool Keith in LA with some ideas for the song. Then we met up at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco for the recording sessions. Keith arrived with an entourage and brilliantly free formed all the lyrics right there in the studio. Frankly, he couldn’t wait to go check out the local strip bars and eat at Brandi Ho’s Chinese Restaurant.
We were left to piece together the music with the rap and it ended up being a exercise in frustration since it was all in a EMU sampler and the engineer that we employed was confused by what we were trying to do. It ended up sounding like 3 different songs which is kinda cool.
I want to find good pop music. Help me please.
Holy Mother of St. Bejesus- I have been looking for this exact track for YEARS. Thank you!
thank you…thank you…thank you. I too have been looking forever for this track.
Made my day
An all time favourite of mine. For the last few months I’ve been on an intense search to find it online, wanting to avoid going into the closet, pulling out the box of cds, sorting through them and then ripping it but that was exactly what happened this week. THEN I find this tasty link, abandon ship indeed!
