I knew the song from the first “beats” who it was and who did it. But the break-dancing worm on the checkbook pages flipping by was, to steal from a competitor, “priceless.”
So who did the old-school break-beat music in the “Life Takes Visa” commercial?
Those were the classic sounds of the Old School classic “Looking for the Perfect Beat” by Afrika Bambaataa – Godfather of Hip-Hop. ![]()
This CD above has the essentials, but you are going to want the CD Singles of “Planet Rock” and “Looking For The Perfect Beat” singles, which are the same as the original 12″ releases from back in tha day (gotta have the “Bonus Beats”)!
