Where Have I Heard That Song Before?: Isaac Hayes - ‘Run Fay Run’
Video, Where Have I Heard That Song Before?
Recently, Vauxhall advertised something called an Antara. Sod the product! Just what was that funkyass track at the back? Well, that track bruthas and sistas is the Black Moses of funk, brother Isaac Hayes and his dynamite ‘Run Fay Run’. Yessir, it’s the Stax-man who you may recall provided a voice for chef in South Park.
Of course, there’s much more to Hayes than a dumbass cartoon. He’s been sampled to hell with the beautiful strings of ‘Ike’s Rap’ and of course, scored blaxploitation flick, Shaft. Also, Hot Buttered Soul from ‘69 is one of the greatest soul LPs ever made. But wait! Back to ‘Run Fay Run’… I know it from somewhere else! Yep. You may well have heard it on the Kill Bill Soundtrack. If you still don’t know what I’m talking about, click over and press play.
