SAMPLES

Occasionally, the question of where certain samples came from is brought up, so i thought i'd put up a page listing the main ones.

Selfish
"Why don't you wake up and smell what you shovelin'?"

Taken from "Die Hard"

What Gives My Son?
Various samples throughout

From the film "Purple Haze"

45 Second Blunder
"Machine wrapped with butter? Machine wrapped with butter"

Taken from a sketch entitled 'Gibberish' in "Rutland Weekend Television", although the sample used actually comes from 'The Rutland Weekend Songbook' LP, rather than the tv performance seen here.
