[@freestylekristian]

Do you have Me' Lady - Sensational News?

[@Andersonwex]

Does anyone know where that "Why Why, oh okay" sample at :39 is from?

[@shorteone]

It's actually Kenny Blank-'who is the son of Lola and Bob Blank.

[@celebratedeth362]

@@shorteone "The production evolved into a family affair with Bob enlisting his wife Lola on vox (who with her talent in dancing and singing worked with none other than James Brown) and even his seven-year old step-son Kenny (who developed into a mercurial musical prodigy) who interjects with lyrics like “Why, Why?” and “What you doin’ Moma?” adding a childlike quality to the production. Submerged under the echoing vocals are a cacophony of congas and ocean of polywaves that permeate throughout - culminating in a trippy production that really does plunge you in the depths, dive in here…" Just to add to the reply!

Which exact version is this?

[@berendrigter]

I'm not sure, but I think it is Junior Vasquez's edit. www.discogs.com/Lola-Wax-The-Van/release/162513

Wax and polish behind the doors, as UTFO used to say, feminists today would be outraged at the occult meaning! And all you white DJ's will make a mess out of you!
