An Entity of Type: song, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

"Krupa" is a 1996 song by British big beat/electronic rock band Apollo 440. The cover credits it as appearing in an advert for Sunkist. The song is a homage to the Polish-American drummer Gene Krupa and is almost completely instrumental. The only lyrics in the entire song are "Yeah yeah" and "Now back to Gene Krupa's syncopated style" (a sample from dialogue in the film Taxi Driver), which are only repeated a couple of times. The main focus of the song is on the drumming rhythms, which were sampled from "The Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet. It was used in a 1998 Budweiser beer commercial.

  • Krupa je skladba anglické technorockové skupiny Apollo 440. Vyšla na jejich albu (1997), jako singl z roku 1998 se umístila na 23. místě v britské hitparádě. Skladba je holdem americkému bubeníkovi polského původu Genu Krupovi a je téměř celá instrumentální. Jediným „zpěvem“ jsou opakované věty Yeah yeah a Now back to the Gene Krupa syncopated style (sample z dialogu ve filmu Taxikář z roku 1976). Základem skladby jsou bicí a jejich rytmus, což je holdem improvizovanému bubnování Gena Krupy. Ke skladbě byl natočen také videoklip, zobrazující „různé obyčejné lidi běžného dne v obyčejném městě“. Tváře osob ale nejsou přímo zobrazeny, aby vizuální stránka nepotlačovala hudební základ. Skladba je celosvětově oblíbena jako hudba v televizních reklamách a předělech, v roce 2009 byla např. použita jako znělka seriálu dokumentů České televize Zašlapané projekty. (cs)

The song also has its own music video, which shows various generic people on a normal day in a typical city. The video avoids showing people's faces to emphasise the focus on the music itself.

  • Krupa è un singolo del gruppo musicale britannico Apollo 440, pubblicato il 15 luglio 1996 inserito nel secondo album Electro Glide in Blue. La canzone è un omaggio a Gene Krupa, il batterista polacco-americano, ed è quasi interamente strumentale. Le uniche parti parlare del brano sono Yeah Yeah e Now Back to the Gene Krupa Syncopated Style (un campionamento preso dal dialogo nel film Taxi Driver), che vengono ripetuti solo un paio di volte. Le parti ritmiche della batteria sono state campionate da The Ballroom Blitz degli Sweet. È stato realizzando anche un video musicale che mostra varie persone normali in una giornata normale in una tipica città. Il video evita di mostrare i volti delle persone per enfatizzare il focus sulla musica stessa. (it)
