Bound 4 Da Reload (Casualty)

"Bound 4 Da Reload (Casualty)" is a song by British duo Oxide & Neutrino, members of the So Solid Crew, which peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart on 6 May 2000.[1] It was the first of six non-consecutive top 20 hit singles. The 12" of the single was not eligible for the singles chart due to its length, which broke chart regulations and had instead appeared on the UK Album Chart, reaching No. 71. The track features a sample from the theme tune to the BBC medical drama Casualty. The duo had not initially gone the correct route to clear the rights to use the Casualty theme, instead calling the BBC receptionist to tell them they were sampling it. When they signed with East West, the company cleared the sample.[2] The song was first released in 1999 on white label, simply titled "Casualty".

While the record appeared on Top of the Pops in its number one week, many radio stations refused to play "Bound 4 Da Reload" because of its controversial spoken sample taken from the film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, spoken by the actors Tony McMahon and Frank Harper ("Ah! I've been shot!/I don't fucking believe this, could everyone stop getting shot?").
