Security, Top Secret & Classified - Yeah Yeah! A lot of bands, hell, any creative endeavour for that matter, usually form due to a collective love for 'something'. For Security, Top Secret & Classified, it was the Beastie Boys. It all started when Goz (Top Secret) gave me a call and said he was visiting from Singapore with his friend Wilson (Security). They wanted to do a Beastie Boys-style song and required my recording abilities. Before, in England, we had started a band called 'Toadspit' and recorded a demo of Goz on guitar and me on vocals. It wasn't that good, recorded with a hi-fi and a microphone. I'd come a long way since then. When they arrived I spent two days doing up a mass of beats a la 'Shake Your Rump' from the Paul's Boutique album to complement their lyrics on a friend of theirs who decided to not masturbate for 30 days. After that, they came up again to recorded another song. 'Yeah Yeah!' is that song. Clocking in at about 6 minutes, this one stuck to a simple funky breakbeat and bass loop as the mental lyrics came a-spewing, with lines such as, I'm not white like Van Damme or Vanilla Ice / I'm like Big Bird all yellow and nice / Don't give me foie gras gimme fried rice / Like Yen Can Cook I slice and dice Or one of my favourites, When I play Street Fighter I choose Guile / Got the re-dizzy move so wild / You think you can beat me with your sonic boom style / You must be in Egypt 'cos you're in de-nial! If we ever have time, we might do an album. Or not. No one knows.
