    "comment": "Songwriting credits include Kim Deal of the Breeders, as the looped wah-wah guitar riff in \"Firestarter\" was sampled from the Breeders' track \"S.O.S.\" from the album \"Last Splash.\" The song also samples the vocals from Art of Noise's 1984 \"Close (To the Edit) and the drums from 1989's \"Devotion (The Voice of Paradise Mix)\" by Ten City. \n\nThis was the first single by The Prodigy to feature Keith Flint on vocals. (He'd originally been one of the band's dancers.)\n\nLiam Howlett originaly wrote \"Firestarter\" as an instrumental.  To his surprise, when he played it to Flint, the dancer said he'd like to add some vocals. (Flint hadn't shown any previous enthusiasm to be the band's singer.)\n\n\"It was so ridiculous because my English isn't my strong point, by any stretch of the imagination,\" Flint recalled to the NME. \"So I end up singing in this weird accent (puts on a daft yokel voice), 'Oi'm a muckspreaderrrrr, twisted muckspreaderrrr.' But it ended up sounding quite... menacing.\" https://tinyurl.com/msrsnu25",
