Samples

The song heavily utilizes sampling; the song samples the drum break from Digital Underground's "The Humpty Dance". The squealing trumpet glissando heard throughout is a sample from "The Grunt" by the J.B.'s. Vocal samples from James Brown's "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved" and the Soul Children's "I Don't Know What This World Is Coming To" are present, as well as replayed samples of "All Your Goodies Are Gone" by Parliament and "Peg" by Steely Dan.
