there is a song i heard on the radio, and have also heard either on tv or in a movie, that has a very similar beat and almost identical beginning to the chemical brothers song "block rockin beats" and i can't find the name of it or really even remember it that well. i'm pretty sure it's not techno or electronic music like the chemical brothers, but from a rock band, and sometime in the late '90s/2000's - i really have no other leads except to post the chemical brothers song and see if anyone knows the name of other songs that sound very similar or almost identical to the beat/rhythm of the chemical bros. song, but obviously from a different artist. when the song kicks in 20 seconds in or so is the beat thats very similar to the mystery song i'm trying to track down. thanks if you have any clues or ideas...

    sounds a little like a chili peppers beat
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    I can't listen to your youtube link here at work (no sound !), but I remember there's a placebo song beginning like the chemical bros song...
    Is it possible that this is placebo you're talking about ?

    It's sort of on the tip of my tongue as well. maybe I'll ask on yahoo answers and see what people say.

    I do know that the voice that says "Block Rockin Beats" is a rapper named Schooly D. Not sure about the music part.

    The sample apparently came from 23 Skidoo. The song's called 'Coup'. I don't know it myself so I don't know if that's right or not.

    MattCameronKicksButt is right.. check out this site

    http://www.sfweekly.com/2002-12-04/music/23-skidoo/

    "Like Cabaret Voltaire, 23 Skidoo hailed from Sheffield, England, and favored a dark, oppressive merger of disco and industrial noise. While the Chemical Brothers' 1997 sampling of the group's "Coup" (for "Block Rockin' Beats") hints at 23 Skidoo's influence on contemporary dance music, these two albums reveal the musicians' restless experimentation, trying out voice after voice, wending through new wave, dub, world beat, and eventually hip hop."
