I don't know if you've talked about it before, but Army of Me is also interesting as perhaps the only pop(ish) song that is partially Locrian.

[@genghis_connie]

I was just asking this in the comments. Interesting! Great videos.

[@McPickleness]

@@jockcox Yes - indeed he has gone over it. I forget which video but I remember it.

[@PenneySounds]

"When the Levee Breaks" is one of the most sampled beats in music (After the Amen break mentioned in this video, the Funky Drummer break from James Brown, and the intro from "It's a New Day" by Skull Snaps), and I don't see any reason to think that the sound in "Army of Me" isn't sampled from it. It sounds like it's gone through a filter though. But compare "Army of Me" against Rob Dougan's "I'm Not Driving Anymore (Instrumental version)" which definitely uses the sample while also alluding to Bjork's bassline, and I think it's pretty unmistakable. Dougan also famously used the Skull Snaps beat in his most famous track "Clubbed to Death (Kurayamino variation)" in which he added it over a sample from Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations.

[@G.abrie.l]

As a native spanish speaker, the prounciation of "Amores como el Nuestro" and "Jerry Rivera " was hurtful as well 😅😂 And speaking of samples, you should definetly check out the wildly amount of samples made form "Los Ángeles Negros" (The Black Angels) most of them in USA HipHop music.

In Denmark, a very popular Christmas song, used the sleigh bells from a old version Sleigh Ride. Only problem, they forgot to get permission, so the settlement was, that the original artist receives 77% of the royalties from that Christmas song. Only problem (for the Danish group) between 2008-2012 it was the most played Christmas song on public radio.

[@PopQuizHotShot23]

Props to David for being so confident in his terrible pronunciations 😂

[@waugsqueke]

A lot of tunes that use the "When the Levee Breaks" sample do it in a slightly different way. In the mid 80s there were companies producing EEPROM chips for drum machines which had famous drum sounds on them, one such package you could get was the Bonham Memorial pack, commonly used to replace individual drum sounds in LinnDrums. Hence you have artists like Howard Jones using them (in the original "No One Is To Blame" for example). Art of Noise was another such artist who made use of them a lot.

When I hear a new track sampling a song that's already a hit, my mind has already latched onto that hit and perceives the new track as 'wrong' because it doesn't go the expected way. I much prefer the approach taken by the examples showcased here, where it's a treat to find out that a new track is based on an obscure piece of music, and arguably making it a hit in the process.

Clyde Stubblefield's break on James Brown's "Funky Drummer" has been recognized as the most sampled drum break of all time, as well.

[@gitaaa7740]

The beginning drum intro to Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc is Jamie’s Cryin by Van Halen. Van Halen didn’t know and sued them. I believe they won. Alex Van Halen recognized his drum fill. 😂

Actually Tone Loc's Funky Cold Medina actually sampled two songs such as: Kiss - Christine Sixteen Foreigner - Hot Blooded additionally, Van Halen's Jamie's Cryin is sampled in a different song by Tone Loc called Wild Thing which would be sampled in My Humps by The Black Eyed Peas which also sampled Sexual Harassment's I Need A Freak

Hey that was fun. And sure, of course I can think of other songs based on samples. Oh, you wanted specific examples. Errr...yeah - God Is A Lobster, by DJ Soulslinger, makes an awesome jungle track out of the B-52's song Rock Lobster. I'm not even kidding - check it out!🤣

Tricky used "Ike's Rap" in "Hell's Around The Corner" too, the same year as Portishead. Joe Cocker's "Women To Women" is used as well by Moby on "Honey". David, Spanish is very easy to pronounce: only 5 vowel sounds, V & B sound always B and all letters are pronounced except the H (except in the case it goes with a C before, then is like in "check").

[@rebeccaschade3987]

Yeah, Moby was the first thing that popped into my mind as well, when I heard Woman to Woman.

[@crunchyfrog555]

I usually know a fair amount of these as I was in the thick of audio engineering during the time of early sampling, plus I DJed at the time too. I used to buy a lot of import house records and naturally ended up with Ride on Time before it hit the UK. It was hugely popular when I played it, and of course when it hit our charts, I picked up the British 12" and the remix too. Played them a lot obviously, and yet to this day I never realised the vocals were different. I'm going to have to go and investigate now.... I know I have several versions of this song. Again the original Italian import, plus it appearing on some other Italian compilation, the original UK 12", the remix and at least one other on a compilation, as well as the Loleatta Hollway 12" with acapella. I did note that at the time, Dan Hartman's writing credits popped up on later UK copies.

Before Wyclef and Shakira used that fanfare intro, it was already used in Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz - Deja vu (uptown baby)

[@erickseed6350]

The drum loop in the Oasis track actually was a direct sample, not a reinterpretation. Wikipedia says so. Plus you can hear the vinyl noise in the background at the beginning of the track, and the live drums come in on top of the loop right around 35 seconds in.

[@DullBull]

I agree. It's just heavily compressed. I threw both breaks into my daw and did some analysis, and in the beginning you can hear a rising whoosh sound in the background on both tracks. Plus the drums and hi-hats are tunet exactly the same.

[@charliericker274]

There was an old hip hop song from the late 90s (?) that also used that same horn intro that Wyclef and Shakira used. I can't remember what it is called but it had a thumping bass that my friends would use to test out subwoofers in their cars back when that was the cool thing to have in a car.

[@charlieturner566]

Oh, and Keith didn’t notice David, I just figured it out. The arctic case sample you mentioned, the second one. I just noticed. But in the song here, by Alessia Cara, the rhythm of that song is sampled in the song.

[@charlieturner566]

Did you know that?

[@nickstadler1906]

For years, many people, myself included, believed the "screech" sampled in "Jump Around" was actually the opening scream in Prince's "Gett Off." (There is, however, a version of the song on the 12" single that uses the "Gett Off" scream instead of the "Shoot Your Shot" horn).

[@mcylinder]

Some context for "interpolation." When I would submit my remix for an artist to their label, I'd have to fill out a "sample sheet." The publishing lawyers start the process of getting the samples cleared from the original publishers. If they couldn't get it cleared (or find the publisher), we'd head back in to the studio and try and recreate the sample. Even if it was 1.4 seconds of a full band. The engineer would do their best to dirty it up and match the original. Another trick is to sample the artist's really early, indie label releases. That way, the first label, that believed in them from the start, can get a share in the remix royalties.

[@dylanebbinge1166]

It’s also interesting to me how sampling doesn’t have to be from another song. For example: The Prodigy song Breathe uses a sample which is taken from a Wu-Tang Clan song, and that sample was taken from a movie clip!

[@nickkokliotis2069]

So the great thing about Walk On By is that Isaac Hayes did a cover of the song and Hooverphonic sampled it for 2wicky. Really like these videos!!

If you haven’t already, I think it would be cool to see a video on songs that purposefully go out of key. (Eg the vocals change key while the instrumental doesn’t) A good example would be “Gonna Make You Sweat” by C&C Music Factory. I don’t know much about music theory, but it sounds to me like the main vocals go off key at some parts and it gives the song a pretty unique sound.
