Help locate stolen Tom Waits song by 3rd Bass

I just read an interview with Tom Waits from '92 in which was mentioned that Waits 'took action' against rappers 3rd Bass for sampling the song "Down in the Hole" from "Bone Machine."

"They probably think I'm a real prick but I said listen, you didn't just take the boom-ching-boom, you took the whole song."

I'm interested in hearing it but can't find the title listed on any 3rd Bass recording. Does anyone have an idea how I can track down this one?

Thanks

Great to see you here, Dennis.

The 3rd Bass song is called something else, no? They sampled "Way Down in the Hole" but probably had enough sense to call their song by another name.

I believe the 3rd Bass song was "Flippin' Off The Wall Like Lucy Ball", from "The Cactus Album" (1989, Def Jam).

Hey Kubla!

I love how "sampled" means it's OK to take it, Re: It's not copying,
it's sampling :^).

So, I'm thinking of going to my local Porsche dealership, and when they're
distracted drive off with a new turbo coupe.

When the police stop me, I can explain "I was just sampling it."

With that response they have to let me go. Right?

I song you are looking for is off the album "Derelicts of Dialect." The song is "ACE in the Hole". The album sucks, Beastie Boy wanna be's. There is sealed copy of the cd on Ebay.
