Yeah, Faithless (Salva Mea [1995] and Insomnia [1996]) vs. Sash (Encore une Fois [1996]). Sash used it a year later than Faithless. Pizzicato placed aside, the melodies are similar in some ways. Along with the pizzi, I think this may have been Faithless' beef. Of course it was a ridiculous argument.

The actual sound is from the Roland JD800/990, a sound called Pizza Hutt. The later JV-1080 and MC505 also had similar waveforms, again both from Roland.

Energy52 used it in Cafe del Mar, as did DJ Quicksilver in Bellisima and Natural Born Grooves in Groovebird. Thousands of other cheesy tunes ended up flogging it. All ~1995-1997.
