‘The Bomb (These Sounds Fall into My Mind’) samples the song ‘Street Player,’ taken from the American Rock band Chicago’s Album ‘Chicago 13,’ from 1979 (see also best songs 328.) The song was co-written by the Chicago co-founder, and drummer Danny Seraphine, and David Wolinski who was the keyboard player, and songwriter for the American Funk band Rufus. The version by Rufus appears on their 1978 Album called ‘Street Player’, both Seraphine, and Wolinski receive writing credits on ‘The Bomb.’

‘The Bomb’ and it’s parent Album ‘All in the Mind’ were the brainchild of Kenny ‘Dope’ Gonzalez who was born on July 5th, 1970, in Brooklyn, New York, United States. He is best known for being one half of the House music production team ‘Masters at Work,’ with Little Louie Vega, who since 1990 have produced music, and remixed songs for many of the worlds top artists, they are probably best known for their ‘Nuyorican Soul’ project in 1996.

The spoken intro to ‘The Bomb’ is a sample taken from the 1993 song by ‘Green Velvet,’ called ‘Preacher Man.’ In 2008 the American Rapper Pitbull (see also best songs 876 and 531) sampled The Bucketheads interpretation of ‘Street Player’ for his song ‘I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho,’) which peaked at Number 4 in the UK in 2009.
