Following on from the covers thread (and the "familiarity" thread...)

I'm guessing most of you know this...


But how many of you know this? (The sampled bit comes at around 2.08)


(Amongst the session musicians on that track were Chas & Dave. I heard somewhere they got some royalties from it)


Then there's this pop number from a few years back. Like the guitar part?


Here's where they found it.

You know that song by that band in the 90s that samples a violin riff from an orchestral Rolling Stones cover?

I quite liked that

This one?



EDIT: Great video too, firmly cementing Richard Ashcroft's asshole status.

And because they didn't clear the sample properly, The Verve made no money at all from the song.

Also, are we just going for songs that use samples from other songs, or are we going for any samples at all? I listen to a lot of songs that use movie clips...

[David Meadows]

Yes, that's the one

[Russell H]

It samples this:



Lorcan, I was meaning musical samples.

I love the fact this



samples this (at 1:40)

I never understood where this guy got the instructions on how to do this, but interesting stuff:

That's incredible, far more complicated than I thought.

Speaking of The Prodigy, this:

And this hip hop classic:

There's a lot of samples involved in this:


But two great ones are:

Do we have several hours to go through the Avalanches album?

[Russell H]

This classic Dr. Dre/Snoop "jam"...


...takes a lot of its coolness from Illya Kuryakin. Yes, this is what David McCallum does when he's not being cool on TV - he's cool on record.


Dre again, this time backing up 2Pac - he gets by with a little help from his friends...


...as does this guy:

Do we have several hours to go through the Avalanches album?

Pick a track, pick the coolest sample sources, go crazy.

Bringing his "Big Willie Style", here's Mr Smith and company... (sorry)


...and here's Mr Wonder. Show 'em how it's done, Stevie.


Here's Coolio (and L.V., of course)...

It's not just rappers. Here's Greebo/Industrial metal awesomeness from Pop Will Eat Itself



And here's industrial metal awesomeness from Ministry:



Though like Laibach and cover versions, I could probably devote a threat to PWEI's samples. Their motto was Sample it, loop it, fuck it and eat it; after all

Then covered by Greg Phillinganes (With Mosdell's lyrics complemented by additional lyrics by Michael Jackson who recorded it to go onto Thriller, but it didn't actually get released until last year)


Phillinganes' version was then covered by Eric Clapton (with keyboards and backing vocals by Phillinganes)


And then, finally, the Phillinganes version was sampled for this masterpiece:
