I also hear that a lot of rappers sample this song by a poor Puerto Rican mostly-girl group from the south Bronx very often.

I used to take the D Train.

There's a Busdriver single that samples Turtles Have Short Legs.

In the Almodovar film Broken Embraces, some young DJ drops a record at some city nightclub, and although it obviously isn't the record on screen. Vitamin C starts up on the soundtrack..

its the only time my girlfriend has ever willingly listened to a Can track.

My ex girlfriend would always make me skip Vitamin C whenever I played Ege Bamyasi because the yelps freaked her out.

...Dropped that ho.
