The song was the inspiration behind the
Tom Tom Club's 1981 hit "
Genius of Love", itself one of the most sampled tracks of the new wave era. "We loved ['More Bounce'] in part because it was played at a slower, funkier tempo by far than so many other dance tracks of the period," said Tom Tom Club's
Chris Frantz. "It was very relaxed and sexy while still maintaining a raw, hard edge." The song has been sampled many times by numerous hip hop artists; notable examples include "
You Gots to Chill" by
EPMD (1988), "
Friday" by
Ice Cube (1995), "
Going Back to Cali" by
The Notorious B.I.G. (1997), and "
Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'" by
MC Breed and
DFC (1991). ==Chart positions==
