btw, I love Burdon's high-pitched-voice even more than the original War track

DJ Anubis said on Monday, 14 February 2011:
Effing copyright is what happened, replaced it with a Grooveshark embed (sorry bout that), since I couldn't find the full version on YouTube.

jOsSse said on Monday, 14 February 2011:
hey what happened? i cant here the 'build it up...' vocal. and the vocal's not sounding like the fbs song :/

jOsSse said on Thursday, 03 February 2011:
btw whats up with this? did he have to pay'n'clear for a 'rare' looking sample like this?

DJ Anubis said on Thursday, 13 January 2011:
Thx, updated the timing (video on the left is blocked in Belgium, so I based the timing on the version I have in my library)

SmuttySy said on Thursday, 13 January 2011:
Much clearer timing on the Fatboy's track would be 1:28

awesome find!

DJ Anubis said on Monday, 10 January 2011:
Oh hey, that's fast. Glad to see you here! I'll ask the admins if they can change this so you get the credit. Nice one buddy! If I were you I'd ask my mother to take me everywhere from now on, who knows what else you'll hear ;)

epilectricnet from youtube here, thanks for the attribution :-)

The Burdon song was playing in my mother's car, I almost shat myself when it got to that part and I recognized the sample. The whole Eric Burdon & War discography is worth checking out btw, some of the best blues/funk I've ever heard.

DJ Anubis said on Monday, 10 January 2011:
Cool huh! Again: to be fair "I" didn't find it, youtuber Epilectricnet did. I sent him a message to thank him and told him to check out our website, let's hope he knows more stuff like this and is willing to add it all here ;)
