This is my list of samples from Pop Will Eat Itself songs. If you have any
additions or corrections please email them to me...

Thanks,
Loring

PWEI sample list (very incomplete)
$Revision: 1.3 $ $Date: 91/02/23 21:32:17 $

Samples are attributed to the person who gave me the info, the ones that aren't
attributed were found by myself....

I'm not sure if I should count PWEI resampling itself, but I guess that counts
too...

Now for a Feast
I didn't even bother.... :-)
(I don't think there are any samples, of course I've only listened to it all the
way through once....)

Go Box Frenzy:

Grebo Guru
`Any minute now, Pop Will Eat Itself' is a Radio One DJ whose
name I have forgotten (R1 is the UK's only national popular
music station) [Andrew Shires <aj...@cs.warwick.ac.uk>]
`Very much like scruffy pigs to look at etc' is Johnny Morris,
a children's TV presenter on BBC1. He did a program that has
finished now, called `Animal Magic' which basically talked
about animals. He also did silly voice overs to footage of
animals in their habitats (often zoos -- shows the Beeb
weren't worried about zoo ethics a few years back :-)
[Andrew Shires <aj...@cs.warwick.ac.uk>]
Beaver Patrol
Let's Get Ugly
Justified Ancients of MuMu's "Rockman Rock" (?)
[vam...@probitas.cs.utas.edu.au (Peter Vamplew)]
"do one more..." -also in Art of Noise's (live) Peter Gunn Theme
`The time sponsored by Accurist will be...' is a recording of the
speaking clock service that British Telecom run (you ring a number
to find the exact GMT time) [Andrew Shires <aj...@cs.warwick.ac.uk>]

Hit the Hi-Tech Grove
Mel and Kim Appleby's "Respectable"
Mel and Kim Appleby released "Respectable" under the moniker Mel and
Kim. I included the Appleby to distinguish them from Mel Smith and Kim Wilde who also released a song as Mel and Kim.
[vam...@probitas.cs.utas.edu.au (Peter Vamplew)]
"Stand and Deliver" by Adam and the Ants.
[vam...@probitas.cs.utas.edu.au (Peter Vamplew)]
Razorblade Kisses
This is the music to an old BBC children's programme (with small
caricature models done with stop-frame animation) called Camberwick
Green (it is basically about the people in a town called
Camberwick Green and usually involves scenes with windmills and
things :-) [Andrew Shires <aj...@cs.warwick.ac.uk>]
"This is a musical box.." bit at the start sounds like part of a UK
children's show called PlaySchool, however this is just a guess. I do
know it was also used as an intro to "Burundi Blues" by Beats
International.
[vam...@probitas.cs.utas.edu.au (Peter Vamplew)]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the Day... This is the Hour... This is This!

Song unknown (at this time):
Iggy Pop, Now I wanna be your dog (although I'm not positive
that it is a sample, it could be rerecorded)
Lipps Inc, Funky Town
Osmonds, Crazy Horses
[ja...@cwi.nl (Jack Jansen)]
PWEI is a four letter word
Preaching to the perverted
"ugly" from "Let's Get Ugly" (forgot that)
[Andrew Shires <aj...@cs.warwick.ac.uk>]
Wise up! Sucker
Sixteen Different Flavours of Hell
Inject Me
Can U Dig it?
from the movie "The Warriors" - the "Can U Dig It?" and 'RIFFS, YEAH,
CAN U DIG IT?"
[Tim Ervin <ti...@sco.COM>]

The Fuses Have Been Lit
From Robocop:
"...you pick the heart! And remember-"
"Because bigger is better -- that old Hurricane tradition"
[ai...@castle.ed.ac.uk (Paul Crowley)]
"Elway is going for the bomb..." (as in football quarterback Elway of
the Denver Broncos)
Poison to the Mind
"Somewhere in the sprawling metropolis, another job for..." - Superman?
Def Con One
The Twilight Zone theme (along with part of the beginning monologue)
Joan Jett's ??? ["Adam J. Weitzman" <weit...@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu>]
"Let's get down to it boppers" from "The Warriors"
(special tie-in note * Renegade Soundwave uses the last line in the
movie "The Warriors" on the 12th song of their CD 'Soundclash'.)
[Tim Ervin <ti...@sco.COM>]
Radio PWEI
Shortwave Transmission on "Up to the Minuteman Nine"
Genesis' "Mama" (?)
Satellite Ecstatica
Not now James, We're Busy!
assuming "James" is sampled voice of James Brown
Wake Up! Time to Die...
one of the musical elements (I can't exactly describe it!) -- a
sort of heavy clashing sound -- is a sample from `Kray Twins' by
Renegade Soundwave [Andrew Shires <aj...@cs.warwick.ac.uk>]
title dialogue sampled from Bladerunner - Leons says it before he is
about to kill Deckard

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The PWEI Cure for Sanity

The Incredible P.W.E.I. vs. The Moral Majority
Jimmy Swaggart gives the monologue
Dance of the Mad Bastards
a real faint Twilight Zone theme can be found during the first verse.
[Tim Ervin <ti...@sco.COM>]
the same guitar bit that was in "Can U Dig It?" (the part right before
they say "Riffs? (Yeah!)", d-k-dannh, d-k-dannh...)
["Adam J. Weitzman" <weit...@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu>]

3.88 Seconds... & Still Counting
the line "88 seconds..." is from the first Robocop movie (as in 88
seconds to comply). There is also a drum loop used that is from the
THE's `Armegeddon Days Are Here (Again)' off of Mind Bomb.
[Tim Ervin <ti...@sco.COM>]
X Y & Zee
Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion [ti...@sco.COM (Tim Ervin) ]
City Zen Radio 1990/2000 FM
I think there is something from BladeRunner here too; the sound in
the streets just after Deckard killed the first Replicant?
[Andrew Shires <aj...@cs.warwick.ac.uk>]
the high-pitched voice singing "T.R.O.U.B.L.E." is the same one as in
"We Got Trouble" by Age of Chance
["Adam J. Weitzman" <weit...@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu>]
Dr. Nightmare's Medication Time
stuff from the Flintstones cartoon - Barney Rubble "Everybody come in"
(or some- thing similar to that) and Wilma & Betty saying, "We like it,
we like it". [Tim Ervin <ti...@sco.COM>]
The metallic "Move your body" also appeared on 'Don't Make Me Wait' by
Bomb the Bass, but as BTB made heavy use of samples this probably isn't
the original source. [vam...@probitas.cs.utas.edu.au (Peter Vamplew)]
the part that says "Shake Your Rump" is the same quote that the Beastie
Boys sampled in their song of the same name.
["Adam J. Weitzman" <weit...@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu>]
Dr. Nightmare is credited on the album - who?
Touched by the Hand of Cicciolina
TONS of BBC Football (Soccer! :-) coverage (John Motson etc) samples,
Cicciolina is of course the Italian Porn Queen MP
[Andrew Shires <aj...@cs.warwick.ac.uk>]
1000x No!
Psychosexual
I think I recognised the bassline from a Stone Roses' song called
(I think) 'These Boots Are Made For Walking'. I'm very unsure about this
one but if you include it perhaps someone else may be able to confirm/
deny it. [vam...@probitas.cs.utas.edu.au (Peter Vamplew)]
Axe of Men
Another Man's Rhubarb
Jack Nicholson (as Joker in Batman) at start
[Andrew Shires <aj...@cs.warwick.ac.uk>]
Medicine Man Speak with Forked Tongue
Nightmare at 20,000FT
Burgess Meredith (the Penguin) doing the intro. The line (slowed down
I might add) "Welcome to hell!" is from Jean-Claude Van Damme's movie
`Death Warrant'. [Tim Ervin <ti...@sco.COM>]
Twilight Zone episode with same name is sampled
Very Metal Noise Pollution
92 deg. F (The 3rd Degree)
The loop at the very beginning is from a song by the Glove. Also,
during the first break in the song (after the line "I wish I could do
it... do it") you can here a part of Simon & Garfunkel's `Cecelia'.
(Robert "The Cure" Smith and Steven "Siouxsie & the Banshees" Severin's
little solo project -> 'The Glove')
[Tim Ervin <ti...@sco.COM>]
Lived in Splendour: Died in Chaos
Samples of BladeRunner opening credits music
