A lot of songs use that beat, including a few before Bo Diddley. But did any do it better?

“The fine structure constant is the quantity that physicists use as a measure of the strength of the electromagnetic force,” Professor Webb says.
“It’s a dimensionless number and it involves the speed of light, something called Planck’s constant and the electron charge, and it’s a ratio of those things. And it’s the number that physicists use to measure the strength of the electromagnetic force.”

Yep, they’re right. Weird.
Spoilers: over. Unless you have cats in the house. Which is apparently a thing.

Remember Wild Cherry? Vanilla Ice before Vanilla Ice. And a group.
Oh, and they never tried to steal a David Bowie or Queen song and claim it was original.
In fact, Vanilla Ice’s first single was a cover of Wild Cherry’s only Top 40 hit. And, true to form, Vanilla Ice didn’t credit the songwriter. This wasn’t some bass line where he added an extra note and claimed as his, this was the full song. I just don’t know about some people.
But I do know that in 1976, this song was huge.
