      Also this is a sick appropriation. I read multiple articles that didnt even mention the backing tracks origin. The skatalites' dick tracy. It def doesnt deserve to be a hit if they dont credit their uses, theyre stealing this in attempt to captilize on it and profit. Also theyre singing in fake jamaican accents which isnt cool and the black caricatures in this video are disgustingly disrepsectful. I suggest you dislike this video promptly

    It does use a riff from the Skatalites "Dick Tracy", but is not entirely a rip-off. Igor Stravinsky said "Great composers never borrow from other composers.....
    They steal."
    That being said I'm looking forward to a new Todd album.

    I like it. I like the graphics. Simple and still very interesting. graphics. It's just a catchy little tune, and certainly not the first of its kind from OH. Just listened to the Skatakites. I wouldn't call it a copy, but I'm not a musician. I would say it's similar, but not a copy.
    We all know that Todd does all kinds of stuff. No world Order, State & Global were very challenging for me, but I found a few tunes on each that I really do love. Been a fan since '73. I think he's a genius [sounds/melodies & lyrics]. However, I DO NOT like everything he has ever done. Some of it I love when it comes out, and then just doesn't stand up over time. But he has such a vast collection that I can always find something for my mood. Let him do his thing. He's going to anyway ..... Peace

    Hmm I’m pretty conflicted with this. I do overall like it, it’s nothing mind blowing but it’s...fine. However It’s obvious that a lot of this song is sampled from The Skatalites “Dick Tracy”. Like A LOT of it is, to the point that I don’t even know if I can say it’s sampling because it’s feels borderline illegal.
    I wouldn’t really call this an original song, it’s more like a remix of Dick Tracy. I don’t know if Rundgren has permission to use that song but I hope there is some credit to The Skatalites on the album or even their record company getting royalties because not doing so would be extremely disrespectful.
