    Un brano storico che ha dato l'occasione a Faber Cucchetti di dimostrare la sua sublime abilita ne giocare con i dischi

    It’s got a hint of early-style rap. It takes me back to when I first went to nightclubs, as a teenager, and the girls used to congregate in the toilets to powder their noses, talk about party outfits and gossip in general, and probably excitedly plot how to get the lad of their choice. Such sweet simplicity of life, and in the midst of it all this song was playing.

    Malcolm McLaren was in London guesting a pop-program when this record came out. There he introduced the scratch-technique för the studioaudience. Absolutely new thing for Europe.

    Reading Trevor Horns auto biography and he talks about this track. McLaren couldn't sing in tune or in time and Horn had no idea what McLaren wanted with the record that he was going to make with Horn producing (Neither did McLaren apparently) but he took Horn to NYC and took him to the Danceteria one night and introduced him to The World Famous Supreme Team, who would be included in the track with their turntablism (scratching) Horn got a tape of them on a late night radio show broadcast from the Bronx. So Horn got his first taste of NY Hip Hop. Skip forward a few months and Horn was back in London still with no real idea as to what to do, with McLaren's obvious vocal problems and a lack of ideas from him either. "You're the producer, you write something" was the instruction from McLaren. Also Horn had The World Famous Supreme Team flown over to London to work with him in the studio. They hated London, Thought that the TV was "Wack" as it only had 3 channels at the time (This was a good few months before Channel 4 started) Trevor Horn was messing about with several drum machines (TR-808/Linn Drum etc) trying to replicate a simple beat that the WFST had vocalised. He got the beat down and sampled some of the chat from the tape of the WFST's radio broadcast he got in NYC into his Fairilight CMI and added some vocals that he had recorded weeks before in Soweto SA (He and McLaren went there together weeks previously as McLaren wanted to include South African music into his record. Remember Double Dutch from the Duck Rock album) Eventually Horn had the track laid down and played it to the WFST and they liked it. He then had them record their turntable scratching and their rap that is featured in the tracks middle 8 (As McLaren couldn't sing it was used to pad out the vocal) and cut it into the track. Later he got McLaren to lay over his vocal that was fairly limited (As he couldn't sing a note) The rest is history. Finally, that vocal sound at the very beginning of the track was a female tribal war cry that Horn had recorded in Soweto that he sampled into his Fairlight and manipulated it as the tracks opening. You have to remember that this track was truly unlike anything else that had been recorded previously and there was a lot of issues from the record company who didn't understand it as there was no point of reference at the time, so there was concerns that it wouldn't sell as it was thought it was too experimental and wasn't commercial. Little did they know. This track is a great example of the genius of Trevor Horn.
