Whip It! (song)

"Whip It!" is a single by American rapper LunchMoney Lewis featuring Chloe Angelides. It was released on August 7, 2015. The song contains samples from the 1980s song, "Let It Whip" by the Dazz Band.

Background

The song samples Dazz Band's "Let It Whip". Lunchmoney discussed the song's conception: "The ‘let it whip, child’… I grew up hearing that song so much at barbeques and pool parties growing up in Miami. It was a real uptempo disco song. When I heard the sample, it really drove me to it and I was thinking, ‘this is funky… I like it’. And I wrote some verses, played it to Dr. Luke and he really liked it. Then we got in Chloe Angelides; she’s an awesome songwriter with a crazy voice.. We worked on melody and got the hook right. And when it was done, we thought, ‘this is fun, let’s put it out and see what happens’ and that’s kind of how it all came together."

Music video

On August 19, 2015, the lyric video premiered on YouTube. The video features a bunch of women walking and skating around the city and the beach. As of November 2015, the lyric video, audio video & official video all together have over 2 million views on YouTube.

The Assembly

The Assembly were a British synthpop project formed in 1983 in Basildon, England, by Vince Clarke (songwriting, keyboards, backing vocals) and Eric Radcliffe (songwriting, production).

Feargal Sharkey was hired as a guest vocalist for the A-side of the group's only single, "Never Never". Clarke and Radcliffe had planned to use a different singer on each track the group recorded, but the group disbanded after the release of "Never Never", and no other vocalists were employed by the duo.

Band history

Clarke founded The Assembly shortly after disbanding Yazoo (featuring vocalist Alison Moyet), upon completion and distribution of Yazoo's 1983 album, You and Me Both.

The Assembly marked the most involved phase of Clarke's long-term professional relationship with sound engineer Radcliffe, who had contributed significant influences to the recordings of Clarke's previous bands, Depeche Mode and Yazoo. However, the Assembly project never became a full-fledged band and resulted in only one single release, the UK hit "Never Never". It featured a sampled guitar track triggered note for note on a Fairlight CMI). The sound was augmented by session musician Clem Clempson on electric guitar.

Assembly (film)

Assembly is a 2007 Chinese war film written by Liu Heng and directed by Feng Xiaogang.

Plot

The story begins in 1948 during the Huaihai Campaign of the Chinese Civil War. Gu Zidi, a PLA captain, commands his 9th Company in siege to a town defended by NRA forces. The company captures the town despite sustaining heavy casualties in an ambush. After witnessing his political commissar being brutally killed by an enemy field gun operator, Gu orders the surrendering NRA prisoners-of-war to be shot, but his command is met mainly with refusal. Gu is imprisoned as punishment. He quickly befriends his cellmate, Wang Jincun, an army teacher and pacifist who is jailed for showing cowardice on the battlefield. Gu's superior, Colonel Liu Zeshui, soon sends Gu and his remaining 46 men off on a new assignment: to defend to the last man (with limited resources) the regiment's flank — an old mine on the south bank of the Wen River — and to not retreat until he hears the bugle call for assembly with the regiment. Gu also receives permission to take Wang as his new political commissar.
