Epic Rocking | |
Head Hunters (Music) / int_74149c93 | comment |
Epic Rocking: Every song on the album goes well over six minutes, to the point where there are only four songs across the entire record. In particular, the full version of "Chameleon" is over 15 minutes long. | |

Shout-Out | |
Head Hunters (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Sly" is a homage to Sly and the Family Stone. "Chameleon" has been covered by numerous jazz artists, from Maceo Parker, Buddy Richs, even to reggae musicians Sly & Robbie, sampled by countless rap artists, most famously by Tupac Shakur on 2Pacalypse Now during the tracks "If My Homie Calls" and "Words of Wisdom". Frank Zappa quoted the intro from "Chameleon" in The Adventures Of Greggery Peccary on Studio Tan (1978) and Läther (1993). "Watermelon Man" has been sampled a lot too, most famously by Madonna on the track "Sanctuary" on Bedtime Stories. "Vein Melter" was sampled by PJ Harvey and John Parish on their album Dance Hall At Louse Point. | |

Fruit Cart: "Watermelon Man' was inspired by Hancock's recollection of a local street vendor selling watermelons during his youth. | |

Everything Is an Instrument: Bill Summers plays the riff from "Watermelon Man" by blowing across the necks of beer bottles tuned to pitch by filling them with different amounts of water. | |

Design Student's Orgasm: The album cover was designed by Underground Comics artist Victor Moscoso and shows the golden pianist wearing a mask that is part traditional African, part tape-head demagnetizer. | |
