Actually, listening through more of the tune, it sounds like theres quite a few samples in this song. The James Brownish "huh" during the intro and whatever that voice is saying at 0:48 for example.

There's also some similaritiy to "Last Train To Clarksville" in the opening riff, anyone think its close enough for submission?
