Talk:One Step Beyond (song)

message: Either the 7" or 12" timing is wrong because the 7" used a shorter version of the intro (cutting straight from "...the nuttiest sound around" to "One! Step! Beyond!"). -88.109.222.194 (talk) 16:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Not sure if this is worth adding to the article or not, but around the time the tune was in the UK charts, it also "appeared" in "2000 AD" comic in the "Strontium Dog" story.
Having successfully battled through an alternate dimension modelled on Hell, Johnny Alpha and his companions are surrounded by dancing, saxophone-playing demons declaring: "ONE STEP BEYOND".

thread_title:  Appearance in 2000AD Comic 

message: The opening line "Don't Watch That, Watch This" is on Prince Buster's "Scorcher" (not The Scorcher, there is no The in the title) as well as Dave & Ansel Collins' "Funky Funky Reggae" and the "Heavy Heavy Monster Sound" line is only previously used on Dave & Ansel Collins' "Monkey Spanner" as far as I am aware so they've definitely borrowed from one song of each artist (as the main tune is Prince Buster's) but we don't know which one they got the "Don't Watch That Watch This" line from. They may have been aware of both usages. Monkey Spanner was a big hit though, peaking at #7 (same position as One Step Beyond in fact) whereas Funky Funky Reggae is rather obscure.
So seriously, I've heard this song for 3 decades and still haven't figured out 100%-- he saying the nuttiest sound around with an accent or the "Naziest" sound around?  I know the latter doesn't make ANY sense unless it's like some rude boy expression, but it sure sounds like that's what he's saying.  Searching around the web gives "nuttiest" but there's that 10% that hears Naziest too.Naziest sound around  Also, the article reads like a hybrid for both the song and album.  I mean especially w/the track list.  --76.87.106.184 (talk) 09:18, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

message: What does this add to the article?
Is the suggestion "One Step Beyond" plagiarises or borrows from "Twenty Yards Behind?"
The chord progression & melody are not related, the only similarity is the rhythm of the guitar.
It should be noted in the article that Prince Busters recording was released in 1967, so clearly owes nothing to Dr Feelgood.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DangerLaef (talk • contribs) 04:53, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  An interesting comparison can be made with Dr Feelgood's "Twenty Yards Behind"?

message: I have often wondered if the title had anything to do with the TV series of the same time which was aired on British television in 1962 and 1963 and first aired in the US in 1959.  
Many ska songs borrowed TV memes, e.g. Al Capone, so perhaps the question is not so off base as it might appear. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 21:44, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
