If I remember rightly the vocals in Papua New Guinea are sampled from a homemade tape. The producers wife or girlfriend went on holiday to either Spain or Greece and had a short fling with a local man. When she returned home she received a letter from that man, who included a tape of his own singing. It was very weird and unprofessional sounding and the producer and his wife found it amusing. The sample formed the basis of papua new guinea, though presumably the finished article was a lot different from the original. I heard all this on a Dave Pierce TV show around twenty years ago where they played the best dance music tracks of the nineties, with each weeks' episode having a top ten of videos from the given year of the decade. I have not made this up I swear.
