C’mon get happy and listen to my travelogue about Sampling in the 1970s! This time I talk about Sugar Hill Gang‘s smash hit Rapper’s Delight. Again, chock full of great music, fun facts you may not have known about your favorite songs, and there just might be a recording of me attempting to rap. So put on your bellbottoms, eat some turkey (or tofurkey), trip on some acid, and have a groovy Thanksgiving

Nice work.
I enjoy your travelogue a lot. I am learning a lot of fun facts about music and sampling, however I am still wondering whether I will enjoy some analytic research of remix culture.
Mike, that was great! I never knew that. It’s so interesting to see how music can change so much. Does this mean that the newest artist (forgot the name)has to pay royalties to the first artist in the lineage? (again,forgot the name).
