Je ne t'aime plus mon amour, je ne t'aime tous les jours..

We all know my taste in music tends to be a bit for want of a better word eclectic and covering most genres. I discovered Manu Chao quite a few years ago (don't ask I'm horrible with time) and was especially fond of Bongo Bong cause its a fun song, but as I said that was a some years ago and it faded to the back of my memory
So fast forward last month or some such and I'm driving to...or it could have been from work when I hear that Shabba Ranks has a new song...Shabba? he's alive? and still recording? Wonders
Anyway I totally enjoyed the song (which is a first cause my tastes don't usually extend towards Jamaica, sue me) but thought it had a familiar beat and then it hits me (weeks later)...they sampled Manu!
It sounds good mind you, I rather like it but it confirmed a suspicion that I had that actually at this point did not need to be confirmed...ALL ORIGINALITY IS DEAD.
