Comments[edit]
Samples / Lyrics[edit]
- Samples a sound effect from the 1958 horror film Terror from the Year 5000 (found by Twoism user Timbomb)[1]
- Samples the song "Getaway" by Earth, Wind & Fire[2]
- Throughout the song is a voice sample saying "What you", followed by "It's alright"
- "I know we can!" plays at 2:17 in Sixtyten as well as in Getaway.
- Also samples the song "On Your Face" by Earth, Wind & Fire from the same album (forwards at 2:27, reversed at 3:28 and elsewhere in the song).[3]
- When the sample is reversed and corrected for pitch "Keep a smiling face" plays at 3:28 in Sixtyten, taken from 1:10 in On Your Face. [4]
- Samples vintage "Many Me's" Sesame Street vignette[5]
- Backwards: "There are a lot of different 'me's, you know. There's the mad me, when I get angry."
- Same Sesame Street vignette as "Whitewater" lyrics
- The separate vignette at the end of the track is believed to be a composition named "Blueberry".[6]
- May sample a vocal shot of Colonel Abrams "Trapped"
- Throughout the track, the phrase "what you're" can be heard, slightly pitched up and with a possible slight vocoder effect. Credit to Brady Brignac for this discovery. [7]
