I have been looking for this for a v long time. During the chorus there's a woman (little girl maybe?) saying something that sounds like "hug and kiss", looped. It overlaps with "the power!". Please, please ILM! WHAT IS THIS

Oh I've looked at all of those already. At least twice I think. Unless some were newly added or the sample's in a different location than the website says.

xxp I can't explain it. I just love the way it sounds. I get really caught up in musical minutiae a lot of the time.

Discussing the song with Keyboard magazine in 1990, Chuck D explained: "We approach every record like it was a painting. Sometimes, on the sound sheet, we have to have a separate sheet just to list the samples for each track. We used about 150, maybe 200 samples on Fear of a Black Planet. 'Fight the Power' has, like, 17 samples in the first ten seconds. For example, there's three different drum loops that make one big drum loop: One is a standard Funkadelic thing, another is a Sly thing, and I think the third one is the Jacksons. Then we took some sounds from a beat box. The opening lick is the end of a Trouble Funk record, processed with doubling and reverb. And the chorus is music going backwards."

Throw "Sing a Simple Song" in Audacity, play it backwards, and see if that's it.
