you know, the one that starts "I can tell what you're thinking..." just before "make my day". An 80's electronic song sampled this quote. The "Clean Off" bit was repeated a lot. I can't seem to remember the song title or artist.
Thanks for any help!

Did it have the quote "what we have here is a failure to communicate..."? It sounds vaguely familiar...

I don't think it has "failure to communicate". The part I know samples Clint saying:

"I can tell what you're thinking, did he fire 6 shots or only 5. Well to tell you the truth in all the excitement I kind of lost track myself, but this is a .44 Magnum, it's the most powerful handgun in the world. It would blow your head clean off. So you've got to ask yourself one question - Do I feel lucky? Well do you punk?"

The "Clean Off" and "You Punk" bits are then repeated a few times.

The song also samples Bugs Bunny saying "everything is getting dark - I'm gonna kick the bucket."

Any other ideas?
