Talk:Night Ripper

Samples
Samples currently only have time-in-points listed. On Feed the Animals time-out-points are listed as well. This should be done to Night Ripper as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.247.202.194 (talk) 17:21, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Maybe there should be some record of still unidentified samples here.

I was listening in and I definitely heard Jay-Z's "Girls" in Summer Smoke and Alphawezen in Friday Night. Sadly, the music sampler I was tuning in on had no time markers. "Girls" is quick and around 1:15, and Alphawezen kicks in right in the middle of Lady Sov; it's a prominent sample. Thank you, 2 Many DJ's, for your library. I suspect an homage. Someone with a clock mark those? 141.155.160.201 00:09, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

The Alphawezen song is most definitely in that song. It's Alphawezen - "Into The Stars" (Firebirds Remix) (thank you, 2 Many DJ's) and starts at 2:26. (Steve C)

Edited the Mike Jones sample from "Give and Go" - it's the same lyrics as "Back Then" but the violin sample gives it away as "Still Tippin'"  --Mike 05:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Changed the "Ask About Me" section to show the first sample as being from Spandau Ballet's "True," not PM Dawn, who sampled "True." 141.211.24.23 12:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Added the Chris Brown sample in "Warm It Up" Meglocrush 07:37, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't want to edit the page until there's a consensus, but is the guitar riff at about 1:46 into "That's My DJ" from "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey?

I really wish I knew where the bit at 1:38 in Bounce That was from... or is it original? --Spacecow 19:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

re: Spaceow : All of the album is unoriginal samples I believe.

Track 1
The sample - 2:19 Ratatat - "Bustelo" - on track 1 is not from the original Bustelo track from Ratatat. I even checked their remix album and there's nothing from that either that seems to have a sample sounding like that. If this is something from Ratatat, then I think it's from elsewhere and not the quoted track.

Greg Gillis has stated in one of his interviews that he added a synth background to that section of the song.

Track 7
I suspect there is no DJ Shadow sample here. someone back me up. Maybe kraftwerk if you're lucky. definitely Deaf Mick's Throwdown by Clockwork Voodoo Freaks at about the same time though...

just my 2 cents.


 * I second that. I have the physical CD, and there is no mention in the liner notes of "DJ Shadow" among the other dozens of sources he has listed there. That "One! Two! Three! Hit it!" sample is used in "The Number Song," but it was sampled from something else by DJ Shadow. We should find the primary source. Matthew McVickar 15:51, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

The numbers in the song are NOT from DJ Shadow's "The Number Song," however, the sample, "Hit it!" almost certainly is. However, in my comprehensive list of samples used in that song, that specific vocal isn't account for. It could be from a Blowfly song or Third Guitar - "Baby Don't Cry," but I doubt it.

Joan Jett
There is a verifiable Joan Jett sample at starting at 0:38 of "Overtime" (though it's more recognizable at 0:59 when "Little Lies" starts). It's the three-note drum figure--kick/hi-hat, kick, snare/clap--that appears at 0:11 of "I Love Rock 'N Roll" (and elsewhere in the song), between the guitar chords. If you play them at the same speed and listen closely, you'll see it's an exact match.

Track 3
Can someone please id the guitar sample on track 3 at 1:25 behind "Laffy Taffy"? It is currently missing from the sample list.

I second this request!!!

omg yes! i third that request! the guitar playing behind "laffy taffy" in "hold up" is driving me freakin crazy. i cant find it anywhere. help!!!

Forthed(?) "laffy taffy" guitar is amazing. Perhaps it is a couple different guitar samples and that is leading to the problem?

Isn't it the 13th track off of Dat Politics cd "Tracto Flirt?" It sounds so much like Dat Politics, but I'm not positive it's the 13th track.

help, please

It really sounds like some 8-bit track.. I'd be surprised if it was original.

Someone changed this to a track by the stokes. Apparently, they didn't read the talk first. I corrected this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.219.132.26 (talk) 13:40, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I've sent a message off to Girl Talk; hopefully he'll give me an answer. -- flatluigi (talk/contrib) 02:52, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * He says it's original instrumentation by him, so that's the final word on that. -- flatluigi (talk/contrib) 21:02, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for checking that out for us.

I believe that at 1:46 of "Hold Up" (Track 3) along with Laffy Taffy is the guitar and beat sample from a Matt and Kim song... At this point unsure of which one. Any help? --Travis Thurston +  07:02, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Track 16
ok, 1:37 into track 16. what is the electro sample that carries the song out????? i think this is million young by the american analog set
 * I too think it might be. You can listen to it on their myspace.  It does sound a bit different though.  Has someone covered it or remixed it (aside from Gillis himself)? Jellypuzzle | Talk 09:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)  Having just put up the liner note credits and found no mention of American Analog Set I'm thinking it's not them after all.  It would be very useful if someone could take that list of artists and list on this talk page the artists from it we haven't got in the list of samples.  I'm willing to do a few lines of it but some help would be much appreciated. Jellypuzzle | Talk 10:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It's original material by Girl Talk. Freeanjarvis 12 December 2006 (UTC)

What is the rap vocal at 2:24 of Peak Out mixed between samples of Neva Eva?71.191.107.39 (talk) 22:40, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Unverified Samples
As of April 20, 2009:

Abba; Diplomats; Dinosaur Jr; Garbage; G-Unit; Honey Drippers; Mobb Deep

I noticed Lil John at around 2:01 in Peak Out, no idea which song though.

Also, here are the samples listed on the wiki Girl Talk does not credit in their liner notes:

Chingy; DJ Funk; Kurtis Blow; PM Dawn

Possibly check if they've been sampled somewhere else, or they sample another song. For instance, the "Daft Punk" sample is actually sampled in "Touch It" by Busta Rhymes, so it's a sample of a sample. British Ben 08:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Bounce That
Near the end of "Bounce That" starting at about 2:53, to me it sounds like the drum beat from Muse's "Starlight" but I can't be sure. Would anyone like to confirm or reject that for me because I can't stop thinking about it. ^_^ -- Notlastplace 01:24, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed, it does sound very similar - however it is actually the drums from Elastica - Connection --Pandaut 16:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

At 1:59 there is a hint of Technotronic - Pump Up the Jam, just the synth line and modified a bit. I went ahead and added it to the page, but if someone can verify an alternate source go ahead and change it. --Pandaut 16:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi everyone. I noticed that at the pointer sisters and Steve Winwood section there is a mystery beat that is reminiscent of mid 80's pop but it seems unidentified. Does anyone know what that might be? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.67.96.217 (talk) 21:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Track 2 sample missing
Can anyone identify the sample at 0:21 of Track 2 - That's my DJ? Its missing and I cant put my finger on the song, even though I recognize it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.205.253.63 (talk) 23:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

It really reminds me of a Radiohead song, but I can't think which one.... 98.192.44.28 (talk) 17:28, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Daft Punk Sample
This album actually came out before Busta Rhymes's "Touch It" so the sample must have been taken directly from Daft Punk and sped down. I don't think it actually contains anything from "Touch It", just "Technologic". -- Borb 15:49, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

No, actually. It is from Busta Rhymes. He's in the list of credited performers, and Daft Punk is not. And secondly, "Touch It" came out in December 2005, and this was released in 2006. Holiday56 (talk) 13:57, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Sources/References
Why is there a no sources/references banner on this page? Is it really an expectation that the samples you hear need to be confirmed by an outside source to be in the song? --hgd4th 20:36, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

1:00 at Give and Go
Does anybody know the sample playing with "I Wanna Be Rich" by Calloway?
