Actually I'm surprised by how much of this stuff I do know, maybe I'm not as ignorant of this era as I thought, it's just I own lots of comps and tracks here and there and very few albums (but who wants albums).
We can make it Top 500 or something, I'll get to them all eventually.

pleeeease someone answer this, I have been wanting to know the original since I heard it sampled in Bill Drummond and Zodiac Mindwarp's pseudonymous fake-Finnish Elvis impersonator's version of In The Ghetto on a 7" in 1997!!!

argh, I still don't think the lyrics are the same! definitely sounds like the cadence slowed down though, maybe Z and King Boy D made up their own version to sample?
