One, in the Herbalizer's "The Real Killer" there's a sample that says
"Matt...whatcha gonna do??......./..I don't wanna die....."  Now, my name
happens to BE Matt.  A friend of mine and I were sitting up at work in a TV
Post studio I did 3D animation for about a year ago, and our brains were
infected with a potent form of green around at the time.  I think we had
both actually forgotten about anything outside of the computers we were
playing on (after hours...late at night), and we happened to be in seperate
parts of the room as well.  When the song got to that sample, we both
thought the other was speaking, and upon hearing "I don't wanna die" became
so confused, it was not until hearing the song a few days later that it all
made sense to us...sometimes it's better to keep on LISTENING rather than
running your mouth as soon as you become confused.
