I wonder what kind of weird contractual stuff makes Spotify have a totally different version of Limp Bizkit's "Getcha Groove On" than the one I remember from album. The one I remember can be found on YouTube though.
- jakub_g 2y agoHah, this made me check it at YT and read comments: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pvy3M5gQ_cQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pvy3M5gQ_cQ A reply to top comment explains: > @AdrienArnouxComedy, 4 years ago Sample clearance issue. The beat is entirely lifted from here at 8:48 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPhr1Eg7iiM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPhr1Eg7iiM However there's no mention of a sample in the credits. I also can't find the name of this track anywhere. I did hear it in a cab once. So they probably stole it, got caught and settled out of court for physical copies. Now that it's all digital they would need to pay whoever they jacked it from again, so they'd rather put a remix instead. Here's a quote from Wes Borland in an old Kerrang I have from 2008 : "We actually got sued over this piece of s**. There was some sort of sample used in it that someone didnt get full clearance for, so we ended up getting into some serious trouble for a little while."
