Samples
"How Much Is the Fish?" samples the song "Zeven Dagen Lang" (Seven days long) by the Dutch band Bots. The melody originates from the traditional Breton song 'Son ar Chistr' played on Alan Stivell's 1970 album 'Reflets'. The title is derived from lyrics in the song "Buffalo" by Anglo-Irish indie group Stump, taken from the 1986 mini-album 'Quirk Out'. The background music sample comes from the album version of the song Paradoxx from the German band 666.
