A mashup of a Sleng Teng acapella with tunes that have been proposed as the inspiration for the Casio MT-40 'rock' preset, as used in the original Prince Jammy version. Here's what you're hearing:

Intro — Eddie Cochran, ‘Something Else’, opening looped and filtered to sound like a dubby bassline, gradually opening up the cutoff to ‘reveal’ the rock sound.

First main verse – ‘Something Else’ looped; ‘Anarchy in the UK’ guitar overlaid. ‘Something Else’ riff transposed at points to follow the guitar line.

Second – Bowie, opening measures looped.

Third – Pistols and Cochran, guitar cutting in and out to try and point out the rhythmic similarity between plausible rock or reggae styles of vamping.

Fourth — First, Cochran and Sleng Teng both filtered together to point out similarity in the riff. Then, Cochran unfiltered and ST filtered. Third, Cochran, ST, then Anarchy share the bar’s length. Finally, ST filtered and on its own.
