18 Songs That Sample Other Songs
Sampling can be a bit of a divisive topic amongst musicians. Some think it is an inventive and creative way to make new music, whilst others see it as cheating or stealing. Whatever your opinion, sampling is a core part of modern music making, so today we're going to take a look at 18 more songs that use samples.

To be fair, the entirety of Ghosts I-IV was released under a Creative Commons open license with the express intent to allow its use in other works. So Lil Nas X sampling from it is about as fair game as you can get. Heck, even Trent Reznor himself reused parts of Ghosts to create the Academy Award-winning soundtrack for The Social Network.

Make a video with that music and try to monetize it on youtube, see what happens. 😆 The irony is you'd probably get the copyright strike from little Nas (or whatever his stupid name is) instead of Trent Reznor. Most CC licenses require giving credit as well, which Little Nas did not, he wanted to pass it off as his own because he's a talentless hack. Also, what does Trent Reznor using HIS OWN music for different projects have to do with anything?🤔
One of the most impressive feats of sampling I know of is “Face to Face” by Daft Punk and Todd Edwards. God knows how many songs were incorporated into it; I’ve seen a breakdown that showed 19 different samples, but there could be more. Great song, too.

I agree with the idea. Chucking samples of older songs into new ones isn't necessarily a lack of creativity, but finding a new way to use an existing thing: Innovation. And I always love hearing an older song for the first time and going, "Oh my god, that's from such and such a song!" Or, in reverse, finding out that a song has a sample in it and then seeking out said old song. It's no different to rehashing old songs into new media (such as movies or video games), there's no reason to deny people of the past, just because they weren't there at the time

I tend to believe that the difference between good sampling and bad sampling is how lazy they were with it. For the good stuff, either new elements are grafted on top, like a lot of the hip-hop and rap songs, or it's 'chopp'd and screwed' like the Fatboy Slim example, samples tweaked to the point where they are unique in of themselves. And we wouldn't have mashups without it. Lazy sampling changes basically nothing. But it's really rare.
Hands down the best samplers of our time is Daft Punk. They made songs that sounded nothing like the original from only sampling a single song. Their song Face to Face has 19 different samples from several different artists and songs, almost all of them only 1 second or less, arranged in a way that I can only describe as the funky predecessor to dubstep (I'm pretty certain Skrillex got a large amount of inspiration from Daft Punk).

The fact that Futurama sampled the same beat as NWA's Straight Outta Compton blows my mind. Also the 90's hit Playas Club by Rappin 4Tay used a sample of Judy Clay and William Bell's 1968 hit "Private Number". Also a group called Nightmares on Wax sampled this song for You Wish. There are others that sampled Private Number.
David McCallum - The edge which the same album you mentioned chronic 2001 uses his sample on the song the next episode by Dr. Dre. He's infamous for going the crates of old songs and turning them into hip hop hits because no one can tell.
Chas & Dave weren’t only the session musicians on Siffre’s album, they also came up with the sampled riff.
Haha, I never realized Futurama used the Amen Break too. Finding that Praise You piano sample was probably some incredible coincidence, but any musician who had heard it would've said "I gotta make a song out of that".
Amen Break and Funky Drummer was basically the main part of the soundtrack to my entire time in the Rave scene as a jungle dj. lol
DJ Shadow’s album “Endtroducing” was the first album created entirely out of samples. He spent MONTHS scouring record shops and what not collecting a massive number of records, then pulled out what he wanted, plus some samples from a few films as well. I think Fat Boy Slim did something similar.

Two samples that are often heard but rarely mentioned are 'UFO' by ESG and 'Close (To The Edge)' by The Art Of Noise. Weirdly enough both were cuts from fun improvised sessions, the former being a random jam the group made when they had a couple of minutes left of studio time and the latter from when one of the members was asked to make random shouts into a mic for sampling in later tracks (found more prevalent in their song 'Beatbox').

I love the fact you revealed about the origin of Break Beat. I didn't realise the whole genre was based on those drum breaks. So cool
The drum groove of “Stupid Girl” by Garbage is sampled from the drum groove of The Clash song, “Train In Vain”
It's amazing. I've never heard 34 Ghost IV before and immediately had to think NIN.
Sampling, as you said, if done cleverly, is not just, but another way of composing. Transferring old sound contents into a new context, and many times new background sounds, lift these good old classics into a new living. This also transfers and credits a lot of old music. Time passes by, and cultures change. Life is movement, duration is death.
Some great samples here, I hope you do a speacial vid on samplers who make an entire song from samples...The Avalanches are an awesome example of this.
I love finding out tracks I've loved for decades are samples. I also love it when a new track comes out and samples something i grew up with.
My all-time favorite sampling must be Pizzicato Five with A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular. They also borrow not from a song, but from an old demo recording, and it adds a lot to that retro-futurism vibe.
Hip-hop is filled with so many great samples. One of my favorite ones has to be a sample from Bernard Wright - Spinnin'. Skee-Lo took a sample from it for his track I Wish. Btw, Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim is an absolute genius with all the samples he has used to create his records.

I was listening to Poe, and I was reminded of how hers song Wild includes a sample from her song Hello. That made me wonder what other cases there are of this "self sampling". I can't think of any offhand, but I can think some examples of songs that reference another song by the same musician or band in other ways. Like how the movie version of Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall references the lyrics of Money.

If the sample remains the most iconic part of a new song, just like in most examples in this video, it IS lazy. For me it's disheartening to realize that the musician I admired for some piece of music isn't actually the one deserving the credits. Creative sampling is art, looping some existing catchy part is just copy-pasting.

I think this video is really interesting in light of all your other videos about one group "ripping off" another. Sampling seems to produce music that's even more recognizable as coming from previous music than just using the same chord progressions. What's the line? What makes sampling different?

Theres thousands different ways of playing a chord progression: On whatever instruments, tempo, groove, genre, style, time signature, arrangement, with another thousand melodies over it, you name it. Sample is using that-one-exact-phonographic-register as part of your song, therefore you must pay royalties.

I recognise the drum breaks from sample disks for the Amiga. They came bundled with tracker software.
Your conclusion was perfect. Bravo!
I used to listen to alot of rave music jungle drum and bass i recognised alot from your video,awesome 👌
A discussion on sampling is incomplete without mentioning the influence it's had on electronic music as well; from Fatboy Slim as was mentioned in the video, to nu-disco and the boom of French House artists like Daft Punk, the unbelievable amount and usage of samples by plunderphonics pioneers The Avalanches, and whole subgenres of electronica based around the amen break.
For a flavour of how completely mainstream the Amen break was for a minute - around the same time George Michael and Sinead O'Connor released songs using it, from Listen Without Prejudice and I Do Not Want What I have Not Got respectively.
The fact it took four people to write Toxic is a sad indictment on the music industry
That quote from Trent was for Hurt cover by Johnny Cash
Amazing video! Great work!
I was expecting/hoping the Amen Break would be mentioned. I saw a video about it years ago and it explained just how many songs use it.
Thank you thank you thank you for featuring Fatboy Slim ❤ still to this day one of my favorite artists and I miss hearing new music from him so much! SIDENOTE I'm pretty sure Fatboy Slim has also used both the Amen Brother and Funky Drummer drum samples in other songs throughout his career. Definitely the first one. Lol
