kpop songs that sample popular western songs

[@KpopStuffs]

many of these (like funky dummer and bring the noise) are super well known & common samples - i just picked one song as an example for them! hopefully you can hear them in other songs too now 👨‍💻 (side note I Know that after like samples another song that samples I will survive, but since they are literally only sampling the part of the song that directly samples I will survive, I just included the original)

[@leonardo13x]

EXO-K - Overdose sample "Earthquake" by Labrinth feat Tinie Tempah

[@blairwrelos1891]

The after like sample is Originally from "I will Survive". But for IVE's song, they sampled from "Supreme" by Robbie Williams. If you hear the strings, the tone of strings is exactly the same. Also you can actually hear the first word by the supreme singer after the sample too😂. Don't know how they missed it but it just always piqued my ears and I can't unhear it. 😅

the fx one is a weird sample/interpolation chain because windows down by btr actually samples (or interpolates? i think it interpolates) song 2 by blur. so while deja vu does seem to sample the audio directly from windows down, song 2 is the original source of the "woohoo" hook!

[@v0519]

Exactly!! Noticed as well :)

[@aithne99]

After Like is similar, they don't actually sample Gloria, but Supreme by Robbie Williams. His vocals can even be heard in the chorus, which is something you will never be able to unhear.

[@Iavcxoxo]

That slave to the rhythm sample in tell me is so iconic! It was used perfectly. And i love free somebody by Luna!! So catchy.

[@GetMeToJupiter]

Whoever thought of sampling that is a genius

[@Raphael-2]

The Madonna sample in Shake It is low-key mind-blowing.

[@brianbortolotti2559]

When I saw No Diggity I thought immediately of Pentagon's Call My Name. They interpolate the same sample.

[@divyailankumaran1018]

yesss, I was about to mention that!

[@gemmamoon5998]

Honestly I wouldn’t mind if Pentagon used samples more often. I live Critical Beauty (sampled Jailhouse Rock), and idk if Pretty Pretty or Basquiat used samples but they have a similar sound, too

[@glittery8862]

Fun fact, the After Like sample is actually not from Gloria Gaynor - it's Robbie Williams' Supreme! You can even hear him in the IVE song haha

That song still came out after “I Will Survive” meaning both Williams AND IVE sampled Gloria’s beat.

[@base4yrface]

So Deja Vu samples Woo Hoo, which in turn samples Song 2 by Blur... gotta love chains

[@pigeondance]

lol a chain of woohoo

[@Nac]

Aespa sampled Afrika Bambaataa which sampled Kraftwerk. Chains upon chains upon chains~

[@Onlyprestons]

When I heard the supernova sample I INSTANTLY knew and screamed. I wish that part was the entire song but the song is still so good !!!

[@newvouz]

something I found out is that in Afer Like the 'I will survive' section is actually an interpolation, the actual sample is from Robbie William's 'Supreme', which in fact samples Gloria Gaynor but with a slightly change on the tone, you can even hear a bit of Robbie Williams vocals in the after like chorus

[@faeriegraver]

After Like samples Supreme by Robbie Williams, which samples I Will Survive. It's so weird, you can hear Robbie Williams' vocals still a bit, saying part of the word "Supreme"

[@MothOnAString]

Thank you for bringing this up! Actually ever since someone pointed it out to me I've not been able to unhear his voice and I agree it feels weird^^'

wow so many songs I didn't realize had these samples in them

[@MBJK_baby]

2:14 this actually isn't what ive sampled. It samples Supreme by Robbie Williams which had first interpolated Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive. In after like there is a little sound near the beginning of the dance break after each chorus that if slowed down you can actually hear Robbie Williams voice on which I find fascinating as I always heard that sound and wondered what created it but it was just sped up vocals!

[@HeavenlyEchoVirus]

The big time rush song is also actually Song 2 by Blur

i remember when i said kpop is NOTHING w/o the creativity of black artists and got jumped for it. and here it is, proving my point

[@freddyt55555]

Just because the songs were recorded by black performers doesn't mean they were actually written by black songwriters. Certainly, some black writers were involved in a lot of those songs, but there are people of all ethnicities, including white and Asians, that are writing the music behind the scenes of ALL performers. Look at the writing credits for any track performed by any popular black artist, and you're going to see an entire novel's worth of names, and not all of them are black. Furthermore, in none of the songs in this video, save for Ive's After Like, is the interpolated piece even close to being a prominent part of the song. Most of the songs could have done without the interpolation.
