Excepter Heart Parappa the Rapper?

from pitchfork review of excepter 12" "burgers":

After seven minutes of "'Burgers", the half-assed funk drumming and woozy bell tones that at first sounded silly become disorienting and weird; Fell's mechanical back-and-forth with female chorus of Clare Amory and Lala Ryan about flipping burgers ("Flip those Burgers" / "Turn the patty over") ...

Does the reviewer not know these are lyrics from a song on Parappa the Rapper 2?
Specifically Bread Burger Masters A Parappa Town Tradition? Did the members of excepter encounter Parappa from through the same source as me - one Ike Turner (its definitely possible)? How much does this make me want to 1) like Excepter and 2) write/record a response song "Noodles"?

i am also not sure if the reviewer realized that:
(a) the drumming is neither half-assed nor 'funk'
(b) there are no bell tones that i hear, woozy or otherwise
(c) there is no call-and-response per se
other than that, smashing!
