            "comment": "Adell Hall Ward, better known as Vera Hall, was an American folk singer, born in Livingston, Alabama. Best known for her 1937 song \"Trouble So Hard\", she was inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame in 2005.: https://www.awhf.org/hall.html\n--\nAlan Lomax wrote, “...her singing is like a deep-voiced shepherd’s flute, mellow and pure in tone, yet always with hints of the lips and the pleasure-loving flesh... The sound comes from deep within her when she sings, from a source of gold and light, otherwise hidden, and falls directly upon your ear like sunlight. It is a liquid, full contralto, rich in low overtones; but it can leap directly into falsetto and play there as effortlessly as a bird in the wind.”",

They thought it sounded like a Fatboy Slim ripoff — which I guess it kind of did. I like it because the hip-hop sample was off the first mixtape I ever got, maybe in 1981, off of the Mr. Magic Show on WBLS. The guitar is directly inspired by What we all want by Gang of Four. And I thought it was kind of funny to have an orchestral chorus on what is essentially a hip-hip song.\"\n--\nAlso sampling Spoonie Gee's \"Love Rap.\"",

And this was when the first No Doubt record was doing really well. So I couldn’t figure out why she’d want to go into the studio with me. She was a big rock star and I was a has-been. She came into the studio, she recorded the vocals and she did a great job. But my mixing skills are limited. I couldn’t get a mix with her vocals that worked. I tried and I tried. So the first album version didn’t have her vocals on it. I went back to it a year later and handed it off to a friend who was a good mixer, and he was able to actually do a mix with her vocals that worked. So, that’s why there’s two versions.\"",
