At that time Louie was playing in a
predominantly like Latin club you know
what I mean so everything was harder you
know, it wasn't so much the deep stuff
you know. So um that joint we did it for
that that crowd you know. But it became a
like a voguing classic which is crazy
because it wasn't made for that but it
was, they embraced it.
If you ever Vjuan Allure talk cos he's,
you know he's who I get my inspiration from
and things like that
and what it was with with the ballroom
sound and those older house tracks
that they were playing and to what it had
became, he would go to balls and bring
out a whole bunch of records and he said
that everybody only wanted to hear the
"Ha" all night. So that's where he started
to remix that "Ha" into different tracks
and he would make tracks for
categories so you know every category
has different a different track that you
will play for that so he made category
specific tracks and that's where that
kind of got started you know we started
We started looking at YouTube and I said, "Kenny did
you look on YouTube at these voguing
battles? They use this song on every
single battle." I was like wow and then we
started getting a lot of the voguers that
come to the club because you know they
come to our clubs too and they would say,
"Louie you don't understand this record
is our anthem." I was like wow, like that
records had about nine lives. It might
have been the vocal sample in it? I think
it's you know the way we did, the movement of it, that clap,
that loud clap [imitates the rhythm] you know so it calls for that you know? It's like I guess it
worked out perfect for them. But you know
obviously you guys know that that is
from the movie Trading Places, that's
Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd when in
the train they go [imitates scene] That's where that
comes from.
The way it is, it's like,
with the "Ha" dance they have this crash sound
that happens kind of on every fourth
beat so I think that kind of like even
that I think that even changed
vogue itself. Just the way that people
danced and
you know it had that kind of influence. And even for years now we've been trying
to like come up with like what's that
next sound that could be sampled so much
and be a ballroom staple and we still haven't
figured it out
