Have a look at my other tasting videos:
Many popular tune have used tasting, some in more apparent ways than others, but frequently what takes place is the song doing the sampling becomes more widely known than the initial song that was tested from! So today we are going to breakdown 14 songs that you may not have actually understood are based upon samples.

Your Woman by White Town took me way back man. Haven’t heard that song in years. Great video!
@@ThePhobosAmphitheater thanks 😊
Check the one hit wonderland video on that song, it’s great.
@@gfdggdfgdgfYes. On the Todd in the Shadows channel.
That Dua Lipa’s song and My Woman is also The Imperial March or am I insane?
Theres definitely similarities
Todd in the Shadows thinks that John Williams could have been familiar with “My Woman” which was used in an old movie.
@@WayneKitching I’m so glad someone else brought this up, Todd’s video on “Your Woman” is fantastic.
Makes more sense that all of them where originally inspired by Chopin’s Funeral March, sharing the use of minor scale notes that represents the feeling of grief or sadness within.
@@WayneKitching thanks, I’m gonna look that up
You should do a video on Manu Chao, he’s a very creative sampler, music, radio phrases, broadcasts, etc…
You could do an entire video on the samples used to create Frontier Psychiatrist by The Avalanches. Fascinating history and for a long time it wasn’t even known where all the samples actually came from.
Absolutely! The avalanches need to be talked about in this series!!! Although I think it would be much more fulfilling to talk about Since I Left You, as most of frontier psychiatrist’s samples are not from songs
Chaka Khan – Fate –> Stardust – The Music Sounds Better With You
Pointer Sisters – Dare Me –> Junior Jack – Stupidisco
Steve Winwood – Valerie –> Eric Prydz – Call on me
Zombies – Time Of The Season –> Melanie Fiona – Give it to me right
Kernkraft 400 – Zombie Nation is perhaps not a sample but note for note the melody from the old C64 game “Lazy Jones”
Idris Muhammad’s track, “Lorien’s Dance” features the funkiest start to a song you’ll ever hear. Sampled in Fat Boy Slim’s “The weekend starts here”, Beastie Boy’s, “hey Ladies”, and there’s another one I remember hearing but have forgotten.
Eminem’s “My Name Is” is sampled from the end section of Labi Siffre’s “I Got The…” (which is a really good song)
And the musicians playing the guitar and bass were none other than the cheeky cockney duo Chas and Dave.
Labi Siffre’s “My Song” is also sampled in “I Wonder” By Kanye West
Labi Siffre is one of the most underrated musicians ever. His Tedx Talk is crazy and hilarious as well.
I was just thinking about you, David. I was listening to a song new to me, and they had an instrumental section that made it seem like there was going to be a key change, but there in fact wasn’t. But it almost seemed like there was, like a false key change. It made the song more interesting! I’d be curious to learn how that works and how it tricks the brain.
The song in question was the cover of I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight by Norther Kings, but this effect is also achieved in the song Morning Has Broken by Nana Mouskouri.
Coldplay’s first sample is from 2005, with the song Talk. They sampled Computer Love, by Kraftwerk
They also did the “spoken word sample” with Trouble in Town, when they used the sound from a police unlawful harassment
They’re among my favourite Coldplay songs. Coincidence?
When talking about Norman Cook, the guy that is being shown is actually Garth Jennings.
More of these. That fact that I could have went to my grave not knowing where the samples were derived blows me away.
Speaking of keyboard samples, in Trio’s “Da Da Da” (later covered by Elastica, which Damon Albarn was also connected to) an electronic rhythm kicks in that is the Rock-1 preset rhythm from the tiny Casio VL-1 keyboard from 1981.
I had no idea Idioteque is based on samples!! That Paul Lansky bit is so beautiful. ❤️ 🤤
I’m not usually into “that” kind of music, but I really like “Hell is Round the Corner”, by Tricky, which then I learned that used the same sample as Glory Box, by Portishead, which turned out to be Ike’s Rap or something, by Isaac Haye.
Coldplay sampling a line from Back to the Future is a really interesting example of sampling. There’s a band called Agalloch, in their album “The White” they took samples from The Wicker Man and used them in three songs, and if I remember correctly, they also introduced a sample from The Seventh Seal in another song in their album “The Mantle”. AND now that I remember, also the song Sinners Bleed samples the laughter scene from the film The Mummy from 1932.
Andrea True was the first “adult film star” to have a top 40 hit too. Disco was really wild.
The ‘lyric splicing’ thing was done for the radio edit of I Took a Pill in Ibiza by Mike Posner; the titular phrase was blended with “I took a plane to my hometown” to form “I took a plane to Ibiza” and remove the drug reference.
One that I love is Kanye’s the Glory, sampling Laura Nyro, Save the Country. Both underrated
“Get the cameras rolling, get the action going.”
Perfect timing, was just looking for a vid like this
