listening to some vinyl i snagged from my dad - and suddenly realized the pixies stole from (paid homage to) sammy davis jr. i have but one life to live (a song i remember well from my childhood)
starts with a drumbeat and sammy screaming "hey! get it on!" (or is it "get it off"?). can't remember the name of the pixies song that copies it (although i can hear the riff) but black francis sure draws from a varied bag of tricks....

just remembered - pretty sure it is the beginning to la la love you off of doolitle
hmm seems david lovering actually sang on that track - maybe it is his reference
hmmm - maybe it is black francis saying shake your butt/kick your butt
