Humpin'

"Humpin'" is a 1980 song by The Gap Band, from their fifth album The Gap Band III released as a single in 1981. The original B-side, "No Hiding Place", was originally released on The Gap Band II.[1] The song had mixed chart success, only peaking at #60 R&B, but busting into the top-20 on the dance charts. "Humpin'" is a fan-favorite, featured on almost all of the band's compilation albums[2] Like their previous release, "Burn Rubber on Me", "Humpin'" was later packaged and placed as part of a single with "Yearning for Your Love" as the A-side.

Sampling

To date, the song has been sampled four times:[3]

gollark: No.
gollark: Bluetooth Low Energy, apparently, which is still problematic but better than... not having data, I guess, or having it in a really bad for privacy way.
gollark: The privacy-respecting scheme involves using Bluetooth on individual phones to send anonymized tokens or something, and any privacy regulations around phone tower data (in the US) appear to basically be a joke.
gollark: There's been a proposal for privacy-friendly phone-based contact tracing, and it seems pretty good, so I'd accept that if the application is open-source, and doesn't send excessive data.
gollark: The UK doesn't seem to actually have very much of a plan to stop the lockdown thing either.
