Help identify the music in this video?

Here is a video I just found of an old man playing hacky-sack. Apparently he’s got skill; I dunno, I don’t do hacky-sack.

My question is about the music that’s playing in the first minute or so of this video.

Does anybody know anything about it?

The reason I ask is that I have a copy of this music and would like to know who made it. I suspect that my information is wrong; I find it very difficult indeed to google the name I have for it.

I’ll hold off posting the information I have until someone recognizes it, for fear of contaminating the search.

Any information at all would be helpful.

Thanks.

“First Down” by Fatboy Slim

VERY interesting.

This is the same tune. But it’s not the exact same song. If you listen carefully there are subtle differences. And the hacky-sack guy’s version is poor quality audio, so that could account for it.

HOWEVER: Note the change at about 30 seconds into the hacky-sack guy’s video. Compare that to the change at about 2:30 into the Fatboy Slim music. They are distinctly different, at least to my ears.

Fatboy Slim goes: Beep-bwoop, beep-bwoop, bee bee be beep-bwoop.
Hacky-Sack guy goes: Deet dot bwoop bwoop boop, beep bop boop.

I’m not saying it’s not the same song… it IS the same song! Except for a subtle difference; this is one artist’s recording a song, and that is another artist’s recording of the same song.

Wikipedia tells me Fatboy Slim’s version was recorded in 1996.
I have no idea when the version I have was recorded. I would guess around the same time.

The version I have matches Hack-Sack dude’s version. Not only is it not Fatboy Slim, it’s a part of a much, much longer song.

Were I to guess, I’d have to conclude that one version was based on the other; the odds of two artists creating the same tune to this level of accuracy are just too slim (ha!) to imagine happening.

Assuming that Fatboy Slim copied this tune (I’m not claiming he did) does anyone know where he might have copied it from?

Assuming someone else copied this tune… anybody know who?

A hint: The version I have is part of an hour-long ‘song’ with many varieties of music within it; the transitions between tunes is such that it’s unlikely any particular part of the song would be played on the radio. This increases my belief that my song was copied from his… which just makes it that much harder to track down!

I will continue to not name the song or artist I have yet; Google will just provide links back to this thread if I do so!

I feel dumb now. And old. Old and dumb.

I did more Googling and eventually found it.

The version I (and, apparently this guy) have is, apparently, a ‘dub mix’ or whatever the kids these days call it. It was mislabeled on my mp3. I found the ‘proper’ version (aka ‘the version I have’) on Grooveshark (starts at about 51:15).

So apparently someone took Fatboy’s music and re-did it, adding it to whatever it is I have. Kids these days, lemme tell ya…

(PS: Why is it that every time I have a question about music, it ends up being Fatboy Slim?)
(PPS: Why is it that when I need to find a link to a post I made ten years ago on SDMB it’s completely impossible? I’d asked what the song was in a Malcolm In The Middle episode; now I have no posts with the word “Malcolm” in them!)
