Correct about De La Soul (yikes, is 89-90 old skool?) , but the original sample (3 that's the magic number) was lifted from one of those old Schoolhouse Rock tunes they used to play on Saturday morning TV (you know, like "verb, that's what's happenin'" and "lolly,lolly,lolly get your adverbs here") . Those that don't remember schoolhouse rock were probably born apres 1978. Halve Phun, James
