The vocal samples are from the line "I've been thinking 'bout what you have done to me", from Stretch's 1975 single "Why Did You Do It".
Music video
The song also featured a popular music video, which was directed by Andreas Hykade and Ged Haney at Studio Film Bilder GmbH,[1] in the style of Italian animated series La Linea. The music video shows Baba,[2] a boy with a floating head and no arms, walking toward what appears to be a fish/shark that multiplies itself and can change direction. This style was also used in "The Riddle", another song by Gigi D'Agostino, originally by British singer Nik Kershaw.
