Show 012 / Donna Steps Sauce
Episode 12 features songs from Steps, Olivia Newton-John, and Beck.
The final track on Episode 11 was “Tell Me Why” by Supermode.
The song interpolates two Bronski Beat songs from their album The Age of Consent. The music is sampled from the song “Smalltown Boy” and the lyrics are taken from the song “Why?”. The vocals are reconstructed and performed by Hal Ritson.
“The Source” explores popular music with the aim to discover if it has been “borrowed” from other songs. The show will go back to the source of popular songs, and play the songs they have sampled from.
Song Notes
Steps / CHIC
Step’s millennial hit “Stomp” has minor alterations in key and modulation, the song features an orchestral riff from “Everybody Dance”, released by Chic in 1978.
Duck Sauce / Boney M.
The song, named after the American singer Barbra Streisand, extensively uses a sample from German disco group Boney M.’s 1979 international hit single “Gotta Go Home”, which in turn borrows content from the 1973 German song “Hallo Bimmelbahn” by the band Nighttrain (the brothers Heinz and Jürgen Huth and Michael Holm; the hookline was written only by Heinz Huth). The sample of “Gotta Go Home” was replayed by Mark Summers at SCORCCiO Sample Replays.
Beck / The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones were not credited in this case. You can distinctly make out the drumming of the rolling stones classic hit “Honky Tonk Woman” – released in 1969.
