"The Bouncer" is a single by British electronic dance music duo Kicks Like a Mule, released in 1992. The song was a success, peaking at #7 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] It features vocal samples of an archetypal club bouncer saying "Your name's not down, you're not coming in", "Not tonight, you're not on the list" and "Listen mate, I told you once, I told you twice, you're not on the list, alright?".

A keyboard riff sample is taken from the 1990 song "Moribund" by Frank De Wulf. In 2006, English indie rock band Klaxons covered "The Bouncer" for their Xan Valleys EP. Kicks Like a Mule returned the favour the following year by covering the Klaxon's "Gravity's Rainbow". In 2008, English electronic musician Zomby sampled the vocal sample "your name's not down, you're not coming in" in the song "Hench" from his album Where Were U in '92?.[2]

gollark: Yes, I've seen it. I'm actually a bit conflicted on it.
gollark: Multiplatform access is hardly an amazing thing given that open platforms tend to have perfectly good web clients. There are ones for XMPP and IRC.
gollark: <@160188199426195456> Discord is absolutely not in any way pro-privacy. Also, there exist bots to keep records, sooo...
gollark: There might have been one. But I don't believe there's any popular and well maintained implementation.
gollark: You want to win, after all, at a rate better than chance.
