There are few more sinister house tracks than Hercules' "7 Ways to Jack". This is a mid-paced stomper with a relentless groove, led by a booming big bass drum, claps, some white noise effects, and a simple bassline that loops over and over again. It's in the style of Bam Bam's "Where's Your Child" or Adonis' "No Way Back", with a hypnotic voice intoning sinister lyrics - Hercules wants you to visually undress the other dancers - and the overall effect is creepy and obsessive. But good.
