Mutual Slump Lyrics
Then I came to America, saw Xanadu,
An' that's all I wanted to do... rollerskate.
Five feet under.
Do you feel like Darth Vader?
I was scared I have to admit at first,
Never had a cat before.
An' that's all I wanted to do... rollerskate.
Never had a cat before.

Random monkey, this song is the best on Endtroducing.
I remember this album, me and a mate got it on a Geography trip. Im not ashamed to say we got stoned shitless every night for a week, and listend to this so much.
Naturally the coursework involved was a failure, but I have no regrets.
Oops, lord knows why I haven't commented on my favourite song /ever/. No other song can compete with this one, ever. (Apart from Blood on the Motorway, maybe, but that doesn't give me the same euphoric feeling that this does).
Where are the vocal excerpts from, does anyone know? LIke a movie or something? I love this song.
@MakeYourSelf101 The vocal samples are taken from a recording DJ Shadow made of his wife talking about coming to America for the first time. (Apparently, there's over twenty minutes of it, and he just lifted 30 seconds or so for the song)

Wow, up until now I didn't think anyone appreciated this song as much as I do. It really is underrated, all the reviews I read on this album don't mention this song at all. Best song on the album in my opinion.
I adore this. I'm not sure where the vocal excepts are from but I love the sampling of Bjork's 'Possibly Maybe'.
The female vocal sample is taken from a film called, 'Xanadu' which was released in 1980.

Awesome song. Love it when it breaks down half way through and the sample comes in.
