Talk:Duck Rock

Credits

I don't think the South African musicians who played on this album have been credited for their contributions anywhere, not even in the album liner notes. The Soul Brothers, Mahlathini & the Mahotella Queens are some of the artists clearly audible on this record. I wonder how much they contributed to the composition of this record as well.<unsigned>

• It would be great if we could provide proper references for the uncredited musicians on Duck Rock. Also for the specific songs that Mclaren 'borrowed'. We know that "Double Dutch" is from "Puleng" by the Boyoyo Boys, because of a legal settlement. But we also need sources for other Duck Rock tracks, such as "Jive Mabone" and "Isisu Somhambi" by the Mahotella Queens: equivalent to "Jive My Baby" and "Punk it Up". The Mahotella Queens released a compilation album after Duck Rock called Duck Food. Was this to draw attention to Mclaren's 'borrowing'?--Design (talk) 05:02, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Round the Outside?

Was the song Buffalo Girls referenced by Eminem in the song Lose Yourself? Both have a variation on, "two (blankity blank blanks) go round the outside, round the outside, round the outside." It seems, can someone provide any insights or earlier references or where McLaren got the sample? Xsxex 18:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where McLaren got it from, but I'm sure you're right in saying that Eminem is paying tribute to McLaren with the line. --88.109.66.24 13:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

see article for "Buffalo Gals" about the 19th century folk song source. It is also a square dancing call.--Design (talk) 20:02, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Track Listing?

My (CD) copy of Duck Rock has a weird track listing: there's an extra track of a radio DJ between "Double Dutch" and "Merengue", giving the album 12 tracks rather than the listed 11. Has anyone else come across this? Vince In Milan 05:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes - according to the printing on my CD (but not the insert), this track is called "El San Juanera". Article amended accordingly. Tevildo 09:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Incindentally, on the _single_ (but not the album), Track 10 is called "(Living on the road in) Soweto". Should we change this, too? Tevildo 09:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Supreme Team?

Does anyone know anything about the Disc Jockeys? I think their names are Jus Allah (Superstar) and C. Devine (the Mastermind).
