This ended up being a costly decision when he had to \"pay through the nose\" to clear it. When he was recording the song, Collins didn't think it would be a hit, so it wasn't worried about using the sample.\n---\nThat's Collins himself on that fuzzy guitar and Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook on vibraphone.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
