I was kinda like, "but wasn't that song an offshoot of Good Times?" which to me is the QUINTESSENTIAL skate song... even says it in the lyrics. "Skate, Roll, Bounce" was notable in that it tried to ... I dunno the word, "humanize" the synth bass. Even when Stevie did it, while it was certainly organic, there was something that was definitely tied to the instrument when it was played.

I think I really need to flesh out this idea... I type this as I have the instrumental of the Prodigy song I mentioned (which is called "In The Smash") on loop.
