Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

5:54 into the episode, when Stewey/Vader has to guess which briefcase Lois/Leia has hidden something.

Awww. It's ok. I'm just happy to be on tv. Ok take her away.

haha

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

wow, that's weird. It really is Ring Road, isn't it?

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

Haven't heard Ring Road yet, so I didn't recognize it...

If it is, though, wow. Weirdest placement for an Underworld song ever.

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

and how did they get early access to it...

It's not like it's really used the song because it's that song, though. They just used the opening beats as a backing rhythm track for an 8 second Deal or No Deal joke.

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

Question for Rick/Karl/Underworld HQ-

Did the producers of Family Guy have permission to use that track, before the official release of the record?

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

nah, its more like: OK OK, who ON HERE works for Family Guy?

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

It really is Ring Road. weird. its only a few seconds but its easily recognisable. Unfortunately im guessing that we are the only UW fans nerdy enough to recognise this...

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

Is this a new episdoe? Any link to it vis youtube etc?

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

I think its on torrent. check eztv or mininova. its series 6 episode 1.

you can't really hear much. i haven't heard the full song, myself, so it just sounds like background music to me. i've heard them use 'mmm skyscraper i love you' in an advert for 'nick news' about 4 years ago, so it's not totally weird.

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

that's really obscure. nice catch.

so I guess when the 'sound guy' was pressed for filler background music, he had the OwB promo lying around.

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

the official word is that they made the episode 5 years ago, the underworld kid sampled it 3 years ago... then got friendly with them and stuff and did their own complely uw animated show telling story about their lemonworld day life with malcom getting sauna like burn from the chimp trying to make coffee wires hole making all over the place, try to hunt for little insects in there making back vocal choir mmm yeah and tbc.

yannick helpful in clearing things up as ever :)

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

i just watched it again. sounds like Ring Road alright, but it seems too odd to be in there. I mean that episode had to have been produced so long ago - how'd they get hold of it?

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

you can watch the whole episode here

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

Family Guy and Underworld... this is like a marriage between two of my favorite things. Anyway.. we must get to the bottom of this. Very curious indeed.

By the way, they showed a preview (about 10 minutes) of this episode at Star Wars Celebration IV... which was in May. And it included this clip, but Ring Road was not in the video at that point. You can still see the preview here:

So yes, the episode has been around for a long time, but they must have added Ring Road somewhat recently.

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

Fucking hell it really is Ring Road, this is er... strange but quite cool.

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

same sample cd?????

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

i thought that briefly but i would hope Rick has more respect in his craft than to use a stock beat off a sample cd. this is def. the intro beat to Ring Road. if Rick stole that same beat from another source, he needs a good tongue lashing. in fact, i know a couple ladies on the forums who wouldn't mind giving him that tongue lashing.

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

that's pretty much out of the fucking question, if you ask me -- you won't find something that carefully crafted on a 'sample CD'.

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

that episode sampler is a different clip which has been edited since, and the finished airing is pretty different, because the whole set up is different (even the end of that scene has been chopped), so it's quite possible that they finished the aired bit off fairly recently and added in the music...

although its sounds like ring road, i'm not 100% sure its the exact same track...

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

Maybe when OWB comes out we'll see a liner note that some sample was used ....?

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

can i just say "bruce lee".i can remember what it was but the break in there is a sample so ..................

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

well the music on the original US version of Deal or No Deal is by Groove Addicts, and as I am not privvy to the D or ND show in the US, i'm assuming that Family Guy didn't just use the music off Deal or No Deal in their Star Wars Episode...

(there is obviousy no credit at the end of Family Guy either - i checked that)

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

yeah, Bruce lee sucks. Good point. ;)

Not sure why people don't want to believe its Ring Road. It's pretty clear to me.

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

ring road in my mind is similar to bruce lee...

maybe its the same sample... :p

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

where's the full spectrum analYsis ? :rolleyes: I want charts and spice

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

Somebody who has OWB... is there anything suspicious in the liner notes about this song?

I seriously doubt that Rick took the sample from somewhere... but we better rule that out 100% if we can...

Re: Ring Road in Family Guy "Star Wars" episode
 

Nope, nothing in the liner notes mentions it.
