The vocal sample ‘Hey girls b boys superstar DJ’s here we go is taken from the 1984 Old School Hip Hop song ‘The Roof Is on Fire’ from Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three.The song also samples the track ‘I Sit on Acid’ from ‘Lords of Acid.’That bands founding member ‘Praga Khan’ confronted The Chemical Brothers over the drum programming used in ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl’ which he claimed was identical to ‘I Sit on Acid.’The Chemical Brothers response was,’Everyone steals from everyone.’
