I know the group is very popular with a younger crowd, but talk about an over-processed victim of the loudness wars, whew! Here's "Hands Up" from that album.

Nice, is that what it looks like?
I knew I picked a winner. I didn't say I was a fan or anything and I'd rather put on Danzig. Most my customers are into Classical and Jazz so it always swings that way. For a quick all over view and sound check Elephunk is in now more then ever.
Great idea, thanks.
I just don't want something scratchy or confusing to the ear. Something that will bump without weakness and push out clear highs. About 60 seconds of "Hands Up" really does it for most audio checks. CD players, amplifiers, speakers of all sorts, and as you've shown equalizers with spectrum analyzer indicators.
If this is a popular question; its a good one. Its something I do every day and never really gave it much thought. Come to think about it I hate that song "Hands Up" after hearing it so much. But it does inform the neighbors that I'm with a customer or testing out something.
