Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In this chapter I outline how sampling, industry litigation, novelty recording, and mashup quotations combined in ‘Flying Saucer’, resulted in the song’s unique position in the history of popular music, despite the fact it was the only hit Buchanan and Goodman ever had.
