I seem to remember Bill or Jimmy pointing out in one of their books that Billy Jean itself samples or copies another song. I think it might have been in the Manual when they discuss the importance of an infectious bass-line.

Subject: RE: [KLF] Sample Spot Well, according to this http://www.geocities.com/chestersblanketfort/klf.html it does - can't be arsed to listen to the song, though I might do now! Me thinks my 2nd post might have answered the question, and not the first! ;-> l8rs, Nick ;-)
If it's "The Porpoise Song" (118bpm), then it might well be Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"?
l8rs,
No! Porpoise song can't be Billie Jean - can it? If it is then that sample is so blatantly obvious that I, erm, missed it.....

can't place
where from. the track is 118bpm but I know that it is used somewhere else too and that the 'bpm' names on Shag Times vary from those on records don't they? PK
