Elektrobank
"Elektrobank" is a song by English electronic music duo the Chemical Brothers. It was released as a single from their second album, Dig Your Own Hole (1997), in September 1997. It peaked at number 17 on the UK Singles Chart. Spike Jonze directed the music video, which depicted a mixed artistic gymnastics / rhythmic gymnastics competition with his girlfriend at the time Sofia Coppola as one of the competitors. It has been called "arguably Jonze's greatest music video". The single does not appear on either of the duo's singles compilations, Singles 93–03 and Brotherhood. Samples
The vocals "Who is dis doin' this synthetic type of alpha beta psychedelic funkin'?" are taken from the song "This That Shit" by Keith Murray. The voice of the introduction is from DJ Kool Herc and was recorded live at the Irving Plaza in late 1996. Track listings
