"Anybody like it? Be nice to know." is what I heard when I first heard this record. Which I always thought was quite tongue in cheek.

@mattyo71 Год назад

Geez! What mind a) hears, much less knows of, these obscure song parts, and b) has the vision to put the together into an amazing song. That’s pure brilliance. Groove is in the Heart has amazed me in much the same way. Great vid.

@nowshowjj Год назад

I always heard the talking in the beginning and like you, I thought it was an artifact from the video but even after listening to the album I never connected that it was artifact from the sample. Great work here on the breakdown of the song. Thanks!

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

From a sample perspective, with the exception of the vocals, it's such an unlikely hit. The talking in the piano sample, the overall sound of the drum sample. It's amazing how well sorted Praise You ended up sounding.

@gisellegazda3884 Год назад

“Praise You” has been a favorite song of mine ever since 1998 and so I loved your video. I always did hear the faint talking in the song during the main piano riff, and such a fun backstory that the sample came from a JBL demonstration LP. The “Fat Albert” sample is so cool and I always loved how it added like a gospel choir feel to the song, keeping with the “praise” theme. Anyway, amazing work as always! Thank you!

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

Very well put. The way those vocals fit so perfectly in the bridge is magic!

@ManicMonkey1987 9 месяцев назад

I love your take on the piano riff. Sampling has introduced me to so many great songs - that honestly were probably missing something. Btw absolutely loving that I found your videos, they're fantastic

@KarlBoltzmann 9 месяцев назад

Absolutely. One of my favourite parts of making these is listening to the original tracks. It's wild to hear the variation in creative decision making between the originals and the tracks using the samples.

@BMJ1999 Год назад

one of the best music vids of all time imo. great breakdown!

@blakeradcliffe6110 Год назад

Hi, awesome deconstruction, I would just like to let you know that there were 2 samples you missed in the video. Number 1 is the conga sample which comes from Joe Bell by Isaac Hayes (1974) and Number 2 is an drum uplifter effect which comes from You Should Be High Love by Billy Squier (1980). And in the future I would really like you to do deconstructions of You’re Not from Brighton and Everybody Needs a 303. Keep up the good work!

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

Yes! Good call. I will almost certainly be doing those tracks in the future. As for those two samples I missed, they were actually discovered after I put out the video! Things are moving very quickly these days in the sample hunting world which is great to see.

@reneelyons6836 Год назад

I love this video. You ROCK!!!!! nah nah nah, nah nah want to have a good time???? So Cool!!♥🎼🎵🎶

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

Thanks Renee! That track is a great, eh? It has been stuck in my head for days.

@valentingomezcuello6491 2 месяца назад

11:29 The bongo sample is from the song Joe Bell by Isaac Hayes. Maybe they've already told you, but I'll tell you just in case. I liked the video! 😁👍

@KarlBoltzmann 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the tip! I haven't looked at the most recent found samples so this is new to me. I appreciate it.

@Alixdkari 9 месяцев назад

YESSSS I always very clearly heard the talking in the intro and I always wondered who were they and what were they talking about! Thank you so much for that.

@KarlBoltzmann 9 месяцев назад

Those voices are great! It's honestly a small miracle that the piano sample was usable at all. One stray hit of a drum, guitar strum or vocalist chiming in and that sample is ruined and "Praise You" wouldn't exist! I love the random chance of it all.

@DJBathtub 3 месяца назад

Another awesome video! I always thought it was a bloke singing so the vocal part was quite a shock. When you played it though, I was like how did I ever think that was a man?!? Quick question: Have you ever spilt your drink and flooded the studio? That mug looks huge!😂

@KarlBoltzmann 3 месяца назад

Only once! Luckily no one drowned, but it was a proper mess. For real though, I just bought a bigger studio mug because that one was a little too small for my liking. If it spills, I will be very sad.

What a *G E N I O U S* Fatboy Slim was!!! Good job Karl 🫡

@KarlBoltzmann 6 месяцев назад

100% he's got an incredible ear for putting together rhythms, finding hooks and making massive hits out of otherwise discarded musical history.

@fernwood 10 месяцев назад

Nope. Never made the connection with The Housemartins. Holy moly.

@toba303 Год назад

I would assume that the stutter effect on the vocal and the litte reversed bit at the end of the piano loop were achieved through the loop modes of the sampler. My guess is, that the loop features, that todays software sampler like Abletons Live Sampler have, were inspired by those hardware originals. So that would have made it a bit easier for Norman to just have the piano loop back a tiny bit in reverse mode and have that last vocal part loop around that area you spliced so neatly while midi signal is active. Something like that. Anyway, nice content, I enjoyed your live stream ;)

@KarlBoltzmann Год назад

Thanks Thomas. You are most certainly correct! If I get to chat with Norman again, I'll ask him about that.

@Vancouver_1986 8 месяцев назад

I noticed the talking in the intro! As a young teen, I thought that small detail was incredible. I liked this and the other little details about the song. It goes well with the music video: the people are kinda schmoozing before they start their group choreography.

@KarlBoltzmann 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, I love the people just chatting away in the sample. I wonder if Spike went with that style of video partly because of that detail.

@user-rs1990 3 месяца назад

Which version of Ableton Live are you using? (I currently have Live 8.0)

@KarlBoltzmann 3 месяца назад

I'm using 11.2.11. They released an update with 11.3.3 that made everything incredibly laggy and made recording a chore. I'm sure they've fixed that since then, but I'm still on this older version as of now.
