The horns in the chorus.

Anyone know if he ever sampled/plagerised it?

The funky guitar in Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again) is just like the funky guitar in Mountains. Check it out!
Goodnight, sweet Prince.

There are only so many ways you can play the funk riff until it starts becoming "just like" something done in the past.

Dig a little deeper into the funk and you'll see A LOT of similarities....the ending of James Browns "hot pants" horn section (@6:30) is the exact, I mean to the note, same as the turnaround he used the musicology tour during "life of the party"...the horns in the first section of "hot pants" also bear a strong resemblance to those in "housequake"....but check out "Ain't it Funky Now".very musicology"ish"...and a human funk encyclopedia turned me onto the fact that a lot of the rainbow children album sounds like it was lifted directly from herbie hancock...

I think there's some 'Everyday People' at the end of 'Jughead' (after the "yo hommie kick it just like that"). shrug
