'Under Me Sleng Teng' (also known as 'Under Mi Sleng Teng') has the notoriety of being the first reggae riddim that was fully computerized. Apparently it was taken from a slowed-down sample of the 'Rock' sound from a Casio keyboard (itself allegedly based on Eddie Cochran's 'Somethin' Else'.
Bonus Clip: There have been many other songs and cover versions that use the 'Sleng Teng' riddim. Here's a 90 minute mix of 55 of them!
