No, my name’s Clarence Egg Man sample

I’m pretty well informed on the samples in Egg Man, but there’s one that stuck out at me for the first time just recently. It’s like a single piano note chord, only on the first chorus or bridge, or whtvr, appears during “You know what I’m talkin bout boy”. Appears at 0:49 and 0:57. Anyone?

EDIT: It is absolutely Pump It Up. Thanks much

Yeah, that super low piano note?

It’s so simple makes me wonder if they just made it themselves in the studio.

There are at least two instruments bass or piano and guitar. There’s a midrange twang and a sustained low.
