lyrics

(uncredited)

I made that drum on a laptop with a broken hinge
In a room in Cairo with the fan on, in July
And now it is on adverts and it is on the radio
And there are twelve producers who have never said my name

Uncredited (uncredited)
Everywhere, uncredited
On every chart, uncredited
Uncredited

Uncredited, uncredited, uncredited, uncredited
You can hear my kitchen fan in three international hits
Uncredited, uncredited, uncredited, uncredited
It is on the recording. It is literally on the recording.

A man in London played it back to me to teach me
what the modern Cairo sound is. To teach me. Slowly.
I said "that's my fan." He laughed. He thought I was joking.

(that's my fan...)
