📌 I decided to cut out the section of this video about "When The Levee Breaks". It seems that it's not 100% confirmed whether "Army of Me" actually used the original Led Zeppelin beat or instead used a sound-alike, so I decided to cut out the section to avoid the risk of spreading misinformation. Sorry for any confusion caused. 📌📌 Also, sorry for my mispronunciation of "Wyclef Jean" 🫠

"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.

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.

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.

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.

(Eg the vocals change key while the instrumental doesn’t) A good example would be “Gonna Make You Sweat” by C&C Music Factory.

Free Soul by The Soul Brothers sound like the riddim behind Uptown Top Rankin and I’m so in Love With You. Can you do a video on riddims?Would be good to get your perspective in riddim culture

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. 😂

They also sampled the riff.

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

Is Bjork's "Army of Me" actually sampled from Levee, or is it just a very similar beat? It sounds like a different kick pattern to me.

It's not Led Zeppelin but Led Zeppelin fans are such sycophantic ass kissers they love to hear Zeppelin everywhere. Which is ironic since Led Zeppelin themselves were no strangers to stealing.
