A girl that lived on my block brought “I Beg Your Pardon” home one day, and I we listened to it about a million times. Think I might still have the cassingle somewhere?
I think one of the most interesting things about sampling, both music and film quotes, is watching an old movie and realizing you've heard that before! I just rewatched "Taxi Driver" and kept thinking, "What song uses this scene??"
The one that I caught was the repeated "I'll Kill you, I'll Kill you" that Pantera used at the end of "The Badge" - but there are a ton! - https://www.whosampled.com/movie/Taxi-Driver/
Kon Kan!
One of my favorites.
You always share a ton of stuff I had no idea about. I'm looking forward to learning more in 2026! Thanks, Ken and Happy New Year! 🎊
I always love to hear that, thanks Sean. Hope you find some new favourites.
Best to you and yours for ‘26! 🥳
Listening to the start of I Beg Your Pardon and was hit with Men Without Hats and New Order vibes.
I can hear that, for sure. 👍🏻
I have the 12” vinyl of Puss N’ Boots / These Boots Are Made For Walkin’ ❤️

Always good to share your new tunes with a friend 👍🏻
Boots was surprisingly good ! 👢

Same to you and your family!

The only one I can think of is The Clash. What was it?

Did not know they were Canadian…Could their name be a play on Can Con?
It absolutely is. Thought it would help them get played. It did not. ❌
