Mad Cyril

[edit] Musical Themes & Influences
Musically the song is distinguished by the repetitive, rolling drum pattern, prominent keyboard flourishes, and funk-influenced bass & electric guitar. The song is an example of the Happy Mondays bridging of house music with 60s psychedelia and 70s funk. The keyboard and drum patterns are influenced heavily by house, whilst the repetitive nature of the music suggests psychedelia.
[edit] Samples
The song samples dialogue from the 1970 film Performance, including lines such as "We've been courteous," "I like that, turn it up" and "It was Mad Cyril."
