You fooled me…
ah well done, that’s a classic for sure
Liked it a lot.
It brought back to mind Dave and Ansell Collins - I can’t think why they didn’t occur to me earlier.
Apparently Double Barrel was a minor hit in the US (#1 in the UK); the only thing I’ve ever heard that sounds remotely like it was the follow-up, Monkey Spanner (minor hit in the UK - didn’t trouble the scorers in the US). Neither is in any way explicable - just enjoy.

What a WIDE array of music and music styles!
That reminds me of my niece when she was tiny. She would totally dance around to “we built this city”.
Oh I bet she’d hate to be reminded of that. 
Hold back the water, by Bachman Turner Overdrive.
I remember attending a concert of theirs in November, 1973. Totally brought the house down!
And I probably shouldn’t forget the tune that was #1 around the time I turned 21 seeing as today is my oldest grandchild’s 21st Bday…
Well, if we’re gonna do this, let’s do this right:
I think this is a better example of the Fratellis
Fleetwood Mac, Tusk:
I don’t think that drumbeat needs any comment.
Harry Nilsson, Jump Into The Fire
Not that it requires any comment, (and feel free to skip this I love it, but it’s probably not important) but since the bass line really provides the groove and the drummer gets to do wonderful fills whenever he feels like it, and I’m a bass player:
I’d like to point out that Herbie Flowers apparently thought the song is over at about 2:27. He de-tunes his E string pretty severely expecting the outro. Up till now, he’s been the backbone of the track with (as far as I know) the instruction to play “A groove in D”, and he’s just made his low E (maybe already de-tuned to D, but that’s gone now) something where that string is a flappy chromatic mess, so he jumps up an octave while everyone keeps going and uses his E string for flappy, chromatic fills. At around 3:58, there’s an obvious edit into the drum fill/solo, but it works. When everyone gets back in. Herbie is still messing around with the E string. He’s figured it out so he knows where D is on the fretboard (but if that string is anything, it’s beyond low B), and grooves out on it and the upper strings for the rest of the track. Dang, everyone goes crazy on a jam, and it’s totally salvageable with an edit. I love it.
But then again, ooof, thrash metal when it’s at its best, has nothing to offer but beats. S.O.D., March of the S.O.D./Sergeant D:*
Ok, all that said. I’m going to submit this one even though I agree that probably 90% of the world or more will probably think I’m stupid for thinking that it’s catchy, I’ve spent some time on a couple of occasions trying to figure out where the snippets of beats from this Glenn Branca piece were coming from when they were stuck in my head. Too bad I’m too rudimentary drummer to reproduce any of it! Hey, that’s my problem. Enjoy if ya wish.
But then again, there’s always the simple pleasures, like Groove is in the Heart. I loves it, and it’s too easy to not include at this late date.
*Like it or not, there’s no way you can take the album title seriously. If you do, well, you’ve avoided all of it’s contents.
**Never mind everyone else on the track playing slightly different songs.
You might enjoy this then:
Enjoy it? I wish I wrote it!
^^ Yeah, “Holidays In The Sun” is a catchy song, but Steve Jones (a cleptomanic in every sense) stole the riff from Paul Weller:
Weller was a prolific shoplifter in the melody store himself.
Well, I don’t doubt you, but do you have examples? I know Paul Weller’s output quite well and can’t think of a case at the moment (or have never noticed one because I didn’t know the source).
The Jam’s “Start” conspicuously borrows the riff from the Beatles’ “Taxman.”
That’s true, I have forgotten about it.
