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!!!

― you live in a space battle homo cave (sic), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 02:21 (fourteen years ago) link

...did he say "the lady shitter"?

― you live in a space battle homo cave (sic), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 02:33 (fourteen years ago) link

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?
