I'm listening to
and there a thing I'm wondering about. During part 3 of the title suite, the band starts doing this "laaaalalalala" chant that is exactly the same as the end chorus part of "Egbe Mi O" by Fela Kuti. Is it a well-known folklore melody or something that I should know of, or was M. White just inspired by Fela that day?Sorry if this is a silly question, it's just been bugging me for a while
