This Is the Day… This Is the Hour… This Is This!

~ Release by Pop Will Eat Itself (see all versions of this release, 7 available)

Annotation

Surprisingly, The Fuses Have Been Lit (3:07 in) doesn't seem to sample RoboCop (1:16:18 and 1:16:22 in). The line's "Because bigger is better, an authoritive (sic) tradition," whereas RoboCop calls it "an American tradition". Either that, or there's another edit of RoboCop with a sneaky voiceover replacement.
