It may have been the only single by M/A/R/R/S but the people involved were essentially the same ones that were in the band Colourbox, who did have other singles - in fact, there is actually a "best of" complilation by them "The best of Colourbox 82/87" which includes Pump up the Volume! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.124.125 (talk) 08:02, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Title

Shouldn't the title be Pump Up the Volume, or Pump Up The Volume? --Phant 06:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

M|A|R|R|S Achronym

I understand that the name came from Martin, Alex, Rudi, Russel & Steve. Alex & Rudi being the A & R in A R Kane.

Details about sample of arabic singing in the remix version

I believe the details given here are wrong: Ofra Haza's 'Im Nin'alu was sampled in Coldcut's remix of Eric B. & Rakim's track "Paid in full", but not this one. Does anyone know where the sample was really taken from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.179.64.66 (talk) 12:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to MTV News [1] MARRS sampled it from "Paid in Full." I ought to add this source to the article - Foetusized (talk) 12:34, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Another source ( http://www.mymeanmagpie.com/blog.php?itemid=2060 ) claims the voice to be too DEEP to be Ofra's: Ofra Haza "Im Nin´alu" from Yemenite Songs, 1986 (LP)—NONE. The rumour was that this song was incredibly sped up, so much so that it is unrecognizable in the remixes. But after slowing it down, it's clearly too deep to be her voice and the words are entirely different (as far as I can tell). Sounds plausible to me. -andy 92.229.173.224 (talk) 16:20, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

samples used

I just ran across this:

That sounds like a faster version of the opening sample. Thoughts?
