Xmas 2007, 16: M.I.A – Paper Planes
![]()
Our year end list wouldn’t be complete without an appearance by M.I.A. “Paper Planes” is our favorite track off the “Kala” album and how could you go wrong with incorporating cash register sounds and gun shots.
BONUS: Thanks to Blunted Soul, here’s the video.

yeh that remix is spot on, she was on letterman a couple of months back and they edited out the gunshot samples.

you can’t go wrong with incorporating cash register sounds and gun shots… but for me, it’s the Clash sample that does it for me :)
“Straight to Hell” from the Combat Rock LP, if anyone doesn’t already know ;)
