While four of the remixes were given standard remix names, one was known as '''Hysterical''', but it is included here rather than receiving its own song entry. The track was written by Bob Bishop, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_D Chuck D], David Spradley, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavor_Flav Flavor Flav], and produced by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clinton_(musician) George Clinton].

'''Hysterical''' contains several sound effect samples also used in [[Sex]], recorded that summer, and it is possible this remix session took place during the same set of sessions. This version also contains short horn samples from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kool_%26_the_Gang Kool & The Gang]’s ''Open Sesame (Groove with the Genie)'' (the title track of their [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Sesame_(Kool_%26_the_Gang_album 1976 album]) and ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Swinging Hollywood Swinging]'' from their 1974 album [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_and_Peaceful_(Kool_%26_the_Gang_album) Wild And Peaceful]. Some remixes contain a sampled phrase of "let us lay some funk on you" (also used in the original), taken from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_(band) Parliament]’s ''Big Footin'' (from the album [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_City_(album) Chocolate City] and the single b-side to ''Ride On'', both 1975). |
