- Certainly! It is the first three chords of the last seven in the
- "I Want You Back" progression. It sounds different because it's taken
- out of context (it sounds like a minor key, whereas "I Want you Back"
- is in a major key), but it still it is clever in that Kriss Kross's
- producer chose to sample a kid-group of the past for his kiddie-rap
- group. Of course Michael was an insanely talented boy, and Kriss Kross
- are just a couple of posers. They actually spent a year LEARNING how
- to rap! I'm just angry 'cause I wanted to sample I that song, and they
- beat me to it. Oh well...
