I quickly got hooked on Bébé back in the '80s. Try PYGMY DIVORCE.

Thanks, I've liked this since I first heard it in NYC in the '80s. I live in Paris, France now and a Camerounaise coworker was teasing me that I couldn't possibly like or know any music from Cameroun, and I said, "I like Francis Bébé!" She laughed and said, "Ben, ouai, il n'est pas mal, c'est vrai!" I love PYGMY DIVORCE, too. Uprated, shared.

This is so incredibly akward - i kinda like it though, but I guess anything seems good when the last thing you heard was my paradise by babaluga

Great song. But both Hancock and Bebey took/re-did the sample from Simha Arom's original 1960 field recording from the Central African Republic (as have Zap Mama and others)..

It was Herbie Hancock and Bebey who BOTH used indigenous common pygmy vocal sounds. cool how music belongs to the whole world once it's made

In order to make Eligh's sample work he would have to cut up AND shift tempo of this song. And it doesn't sound like what he used was cut up or quantized. If you listen to "Watermelon Man", "Jungle Music" is literally the same thing at a different speed. I'm sure it's possible that Eligh used this but my ears and gut tells me that he used "Watermelon Man".

For the drum beat, undoubtedly. But what do you think about bottle-blowing whistle that is first audible at 0:00? I think that is pitch- and tempo-shifted for melody in "Jungles of City."

Although very similar, the pattern doesn't quite work. I'm quite sure Eligh sampled Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man."

He was a legend! Provocative, intellectual, humorous!
