Shut Up & Dance ft. Ragga Twins - Lamborghini (Lamborghini, Shut Up And Dance, 1989)
Eurythmics’ Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) set to breakbeats, with the Ragga Twins toasting over the top. Acid magic.
Shut Up & Dance’s brazen sampling eventually caught up with them after Raving, I’m Raving, featuring ex-dancehall DJ Peter Bouncer, hit number two on the British charts in 1992. The success brought copyright lawyers from at least six major labels, responding to obvious transgressions against their artists. SUAD spent two years of legal wrangling, in similar fashion to American hip-hop contemporaries like Biz Markie and De La Soul. The hassles eventually bankrupted their label. [1]
