The song contains samples from 37 spoken word records. The main choir and organ sample is taken from the Enoch Light recording "My Way of Life", and the track's opening words are taken from the John Waters film Polyester. Also sampled are audio samples from comedians Flip Wilson and Wayne and Shuster (the latter whose track "Frontier Psychiatrist" serves as the basis for the track), drums from Harvey Mandel's "Wade in the Water", a sample from the movie The Burbs, "Overture" by Maurice Jarre and the guitar from Flo Sandon's "El Negro Zumbon". The horse squeal is also taken from Mel and Tim's Good Guys Only Win In The Movies.
There is so much music from the past that has gone undiscovered. I would like to share those gems with others who are interested in artists and songs that have been forgotten or not yet discovered.
