What the??? Sorry, but I definitely don't see the similarities. How does
"Waffle King" sound like the Art of Noise?

Um, maybe because "Waffle King" has an Art of Noise sample in it.

Someone has probably noticed this already, but I was just listening to
Alapalooza and noticed that "Waffle King" sounds a LOT like the Art of
Noise. Could it be a style parody?

It has the "doh doh doh doh doh" vocal sample running through it (total
Art of Noise), but otherwise I always felt it was a dead ringer for Peter
Gabriel. It has a "Sledgehammer" cue and the structure (buildup to
chorus, esp) ring from that era-Gabriel.

Also, the subject matter is sort of a goof on "Big Time".

Actually, I noticed when I first heard WK (which was on the SLN cassingle)
that it sounds more like a Peter gabriel style parody than an Art Of
Noise....esspecially with the sound effect taken from Sledgehammer stuck
in the beginning (listen REAL close)

Which is, like, weird because Art of Noise is largely sampled to begin
with.
