What porn movie did the sample in 2 Live Crew’s “Me So Horny” come from?
“Me so horny! Me love you long time!” promised a woman’s voice on the 1990 rap single. Although actress Papillon Soo Soo sounded like she should be talking to Ron Jeremy in Pretty Peaches 2, she was actually speaking to Matthew Modine in Full Metal Jacket. (She played “Da Nang Hooker,” who asked, “Hey, baby, you got girlfriend Vietnam?” Modine haggled, “Five dollars is all my mom allows me to spend.”) While Stanley Kubrick’s drama was nominated for an Oscar, the 2 Live Crew single became the first record ever declared obscene in a United States court.
