1129.0. "Sampling" by TRUCKS::WARDR () Tue Mar 23 1993 19:14

    I don't know if there is a topic for this here already ..
    
    Have you ever wondered which of your favourite songs has been sampled
    when you hear "Earth Trumpets and the Stooges" latest single ??
    
    You know, the bit that goes "do wap, do wap, do wap" - is it Michael
    Jackson or is it Dire Straights or maybe it's that jangly bit out
    of a U2 song ??
    
    This topic is for all you frustrated people ..

1129.1Utah SaintsTRUCKS::WARDRTue Mar 23 1993 19:1710
    OK - I'll start the ball rolling - the latest Utah Saints one -
    there's at least two samples - I can identify Human League's
    "Love Action" ("I believe in you, I believe in me, you know I
    believe in love") but what is the other - "ooh, ooh, ooh" bit -
    sounds like Boystown Gang or Dan Hartman - something in the late
    70's ..
    
    It's beginning to annoy me - clues ??

    It's not sampling but I had to plug this - Shine Head's cover of Stings
    Jamaican [Englishman] In New York - it's excellent.

    I found the answer - after singing it all evening - Crown Heights
    Affair - You Gave Me Love (May 1980).   Thank goodness.

I found a Yes sample in an Ultramarine track recently. Fortunately the
sample was quite short.

    You have to laugh at these Jokers that sampled 
    Simple Minds "New Gold Dream", They did'nt even 
    mention The Minds/Kerr on the credits on the cover..!!

    For all you frustrated sample buffs out there - check out the
    acknowledgements list on De La Soul's "De La Soul is Dead".
1129.7KRAKAR::WARWICKCan't you just... ?Thu Mar 25 1993 19:319
    
    What about all those film soundtrack samples on So Tough by St.
    Etienne ? I don't know where any of them come from.
    
    Big Audio Dynamite used to go in for soundtrack samples in a big way.
    There have been several occasions where I've been watching a film, and
    heard a line that I knew from one of their tracks.

    Dave Stewart/Barbara Gaskin's "Levi Stubb's Tears" samples the Four
    Tops' "Bernadette" and "Reach Out" way down in the mix just prior to
    Gaskin's actual use of the 'Reach Out' lyrics on the tag.

    Pink Floyds Crazy Diamond was used in a song called Natural Thing by
    Innocence which was a slow but quite good dance/ambient track.
1129.10MOVIES::WHITEWed May 12 1993 13:234
...pop records sample pop records...keyboards sample other
keyboards... Elvis sampled Chuck Berry!

It's a way of life.

1129.14Enigma MCMXC a.D.CSOA1::LENNIGDave (N8JCX), MIG, @CYOSat Jan 15 1994 14:129
    I recently purchased the first Enigma album (on CD)
    
    The entire 5th track "The Voice & The Snake" is basically a copy of 
    "Seven Bowls" from the 1970 album "666" by Aphrodite's Child (Vertigo).
    
    There is also a sample from "The Seventh Seal" at the break between
    part b and c of the 7th track "Back to the Rivers of Belief".
    
    There are no credits on the liner.
