A delightful three-layer sample chain
The album version sampled Al Green’s “Love and Happiness”; the remix swapped that for the “Knight Rider” TV theme (Glen A. Larson & Stu Phillips). Panjabi MC’s “Mundian To Bach Ke” then sampled the bassline and beat of this remix — Knight Rider theme → this remix → Mundian To Bach Ke. No lyrics reproduced.
