[UPDATED] Battle of the Beats: Röyksopp v. Nice & Smooth

Contestant #1:
Röyksopp's new jammie, "Happy Up Here" that the globe will be falling in love with in about 12 minutes. Update: I found the Space Invader-esque video:



Contestant #2:
Nice & Smooth's 1990 classic, "Funky For You". A jam that features some of the strangest lyrics my boombox has ever encountered.



It's stuff like this that makes modern music and blogging fun. What are the odds of an electronic outfit from Norway using a sample nearly 19 years after a semi-obscure Hip-Hop duo from NY did? Apparenly higher than one might think. Even better, what are the odds of one person being very familiar with both?
