Question for specialist

Hi1 I'm from Poland. (I want to introduce myself- first post).

So: I found a song called "Solid Ornamental Icelandic Groove In Floopoid Zee" by Bloodhound Gang. The guitar riff sounds like Jame's Bond theme. But I don't know which version. Could you help me?

This is link for this song (Riff is after intro):

It just sounds like their own take on it to me. And welcome to AJB.

I don't think it's their (nevermind why). But I can't find sample of this motif.

Sir Miles is quite right; this is not from any official release (although it's not beyond possibility that it's from one of the many, many cover versions) and is probably the band themselves.

It's actually the vamp, not the riff, which is being played in this recording- this portion can be used* without paying royalties to Monty Norman- and it's a pretty easy piece of music to play. So easy, in fact, that even rappers may prefer to play it rather than sample it.

*NB although the vamp can be used in a composition, sampling is a different matter altogether. Hope this is clear!

Ok. If you think so :P It's one of the first Bloodhound Gang's songs and they were sampling every "early" song, so I thought it was sampled from Bond movie.

The part of the song you are interested in is from a song called "Secret Agent Man" which has been originally recorded by Johnny Rivers. It has been covered by many bands, but the sample is from the original song.
