I had downloaded several Dickie Goodman tracks in addition to "SMS" ("Kong", "Watergate", "Mr. President" and "Energy Crisis '74"). I'm 99.9% sure that all of the snippets in those are indeed the originals.]]> Sun, 10 Jun 2007 17:31:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2189&PID=10209&title=superfly-meets-shaft#10209 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2189&PID=10208&title=superfly-meets-shaft#10208 Author: crapfromthepast

I'm surprised that this track is available from iTunes, considering it's been out of print for 30+ years.

Something to listen for in your iTunes version: Check to see if your version has the original hit versions of the musical snippets, or has sound-alike rerecordings.

The "Mr. Jaws" album from 1974, rushed to market to cash in on the surprise success of the "Mr. Jaws" 45, had numerous rerecordings of many snippets on most or all of the songs. Some pretty good, some truly awful. Presumably, there were entanglements getting the rights to the songs, and it was simpler/cheaper to just rerecord the short snippets used in the singles.

The 45s use the hit versions, and all other sources of the break-in records that I've encountered are a mixed bag.]]> Sun, 10 Jun 2007 16:57:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2189&PID=10208&title=superfly-meets-shaft#10208 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2189&PID=10201&title=superfly-meets-shaft#10201 Author: sriv94

Thank you, Jim and Bob. (And welcome, Bob.) Now that you mention it, it did sound familiar.]]> Sun, 10 Jun 2007 06:30:25 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2189&PID=10201&title=superfly-meets-shaft#10201 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2189&PID=10200&title=superfly-meets-shaft#10200 Author: BobS

It's Jermaine Jackson's version of "Daddy's Home" (originally done by Shep & The Limelites)]]> Sun, 10 Jun 2007 06:24:03 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2189&PID=10200&title=superfly-meets-shaft#10200 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2189&PID=10199&title=superfly-meets-shaft#10199 Author: jimct

Doug, your missing "snippet ID" is from Jermaine Jackson's 1973 Top 10 hit, "Daddy's Home."]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2007 21:36:03 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2189&PID=10199&title=superfly-meets-shaft#10199 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2189&PID=10198&title=superfly-meets-shaft#10198 Author: sriv94

I have an unusual question on this one. I just downloaded it via iTunes (some of those Dickie Goodman records are priceless--this one is credited to John & Ernest, but it's still Dickie Goodman's handiwork). I'm having trouble placing the snippet toward the end of the track--lyrics are something like, "Your best friend went and told me." Obviously it was a good-sized soul hit (and might have been a pop hit as well).

In context, here's how the last few seconds of the record goes:

SNIPPET: "We know, they know, I know. . ." (from "Me And Mrs. Jones")
NARRATOR: I don't know. How do you know?
SNIPPET: "Your best friend went and told me. . ." (from ???)
NARRATOR: And just who is my best friend?
SNIPPET: "Superfly-fly-fly-fly..." (from "Superfly")

Anyone got any ideas?]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2007 20:16:30 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2189&PID=10198&title=superfly-meets-shaft#10198
