Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Bodyrock - 2014 Remastered Version. By Songfacts®.

This was released as the third single from Play. It made its biggest impression in the UK, where it peaked at #38 on the Singles chart, #7 on the Dance chart, and #3 on the Indie chart. In the US, it went to #6 on the Dance Club Songs tally and #26 on the Alternative Airplay chart.

This features a sample of the song "Love Rap" by Spoonie G featuring the Treacherous Three (B-side to their 1980 single "The New Rap Language"), and additional vocals from Def Jam recording artist Nikki D.

Moby told Rolling Stone that both his managers tried to persuade him to take this off Play. He explained: "They thought it was really tacky. They thought it sounded like a Fatboy Slim ripoff - which I guess it kind of did. I like it because the hip-hop sample was off the first mixtape I ever got, maybe in 1981, off the Mr. Magic Show on WBLS. The guitar is directly inspired by 'What We All Want' by Gang of Four. And I thought it was kind of funny to have an orchestral chorus on what is essentially a hip-hip song."
