Sampling may seem practically like cheating … taking an extract from someone else's tune and utilizing it in your own work. Nevertheless, as long as everyone involved has actually been credited and compensated, tasting can be an actually innovative and smart method to make brand-new music.

The iconic string line in Toxic by Britney Spears samples Tere Mere Beech Mein, a 1981 Bollywood song
And it’s a good God Damn sample
@Granite Overworld I’ve started coming around on pop music as I get older but Toxic was still a guilty pleasure when I was a teenager. It’s a straight up banger. Well written song.
Gotye really jinxed himself. He’s now quite literally just somebody that I used to know.
I would never have guessed that the Bungalow Bill opening was a mellotron sample. This is an interesting new topic and one I was only aware of in cases of literally sampling a snatch of a song, not repurposing.
Whether or not sampling is “cheating” depends largely on just how much of the prior song is sampled. For example, M.C. Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This” basically used the entirety of Rick James’s “Super Freak,” with only the title and lyrics changed. Similarly, when P. Diddy repurposed the Police’s “Every Breath You Take” it was another instance of just plopping his own lyrics over their melody.
In contrast, Skee-Lo’s “I Wish” incorporated samples from several songs, woven together to create a new melody.
The song “Steal my Sunshine” by Len has been taken from a sample of “More More More” by Andrea True Connection.
Two good examples of sampling that I’m surprised weren’t included:
– Ice Ice Baby sampling Under Pressure
– Power by Kanye West sampling 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson
Was Ice Ice Baby a sample or just the same bassline? Although he claimed it wasn’t the same as they added an extra syncopated note, I believe.
Ice ice baby wasn’t a sample, it was just a copy
Power had 3 samples
I’ve just watched a video on the Daft Punk samples. Face to Face alone samples at least 15 different songs and it’s quite amazing how they all fit together.
They are absolute gods at it, them and the Orb.
A few days ago, Damon Albarn said in an interview that the main beat from ‘Clint Eastwood’ was actually taken from the Rock 1 preset on his Suzuki Omnichord.
The Bee Gees Stayin’ Alive is an interesting example because the drum beat is a two bar phrase spliced out of their other song Night Fever.
Mellotrons don’t use tape loops, they’re just lengths of tape, which is why notes are limited to about 8 seconds
You could get about 30 samples songs just from Daft Punk’s Discovery Album. It’s a masterpiece of weaving samples together. And work by The Orb. Almost all samples but so beautifully used.
The string loop from The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” was a sample of an orchestral version of a Rolling Stones song.
The whole Prodigy discography is an interesting material of various samples.
Great video, David! A sample that is similar to the Buffalo Bill example is Beat It which uses a demonstration of the sounds available on a Synclavier II as the synth part for the intro. Here’s the original audio, the sample starts at 06:40 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yzgvJlsEyvQ&t=400s
Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique is a masterclass in the various ways you can use samples, as well as how EVERYTHING changed in the industry in terms of legalities. Please do a video on that.
As a fan of Otis Redding, “Gone” by Kanye is one of the cool examples. Ice Cube’s sample from “Footsteps in the Dark” for “It Was a Good Day” is also great
Thanx to similar videos I have discovered many insanely good songs. Kind of Goldie’s – Sensual is based on Maze – Twilight. Often the first song is much better than it’s successor, but it often suffers from bad quality.
“My Woman” by Lew Stone had a horn line that was so catchy it got sampled in two separate songs (“Your Woman” by White Town and “Love Again” by Dua Lipa).
After 10 years of listening to Radiohead, I only learned this year that Idioteque, one of my favourite tracks, used a sample from Paul Lansky’s “Mild und Leise” (1973).
