I hear this piece of Music all the time now and would like to know what it is. It was used in _Kill Bill Vol. 1_, _Team America_ and at least one commercial. Basically it is a three note (chord?) blast of horns: bah-BAH-bah, followed by a waka-waka-waka guitar and a rolling bass. It’s usually used when a group of people walk toward the camera in slo-mo. It signifies "These are bad Mothaf\*ka’s and they are hear to get the job _done_! Where did this music originate and what else was it used in? Sorry about the vague description. ---

Not a clue in the whole world. But I did find [this for you](http://www.musicomh.com/albums/kill-bill.htm). Maybe it will help? ---

I think it might be The Grand Duel (Parte Prima) by Luis Bacalov. Track 3 on the Kill Bill Soundtrack. [Listen To A Sample](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000C9V3T/qid=1106089318/sr=8-3/ref=pd_csp_3/103-2356938-6539001?v=glance&s=music&n=507846) ---

I listened to every sample and couldn’t find it. The closest I got was the Ironside theme, but that’s not it either. Thanks again for the effort. Damn, this is frustrating! :mad: ---

Apologies, that sample is from the middle of song. The portion of the song that I think you’re talking about is from the beginning 30 seconds. I probably should’ve checked that out. I’ll try and find a sample of the beginning of the song. ---

It’s Battle Without Honor or Humanity - track 9 on the above link - the very end of the sample is the bit you want. ---

I know you said you checked out the entire soundtrack, but perhaps it could be the Tomayasu Hotei, “Battle Without Honor Or Humanity?” That’s what I immediately thought of when I saw the OP. ---

YES!! thank you **snorlax** and **buncombe** , and thanks again to **Kid A** for providing the link. I didn’t listen to the sample all the way through the first time. :smack: I was sure it was an old funk song, what with the horns and the waka-waka. I guess not though.
