What songs would you sample were you a producer?

A filthy rich and popular producer at that.

Jacqueline Taieb - Le Couer au boit des doigts

Always been in love with the horn section of this particular song, could bet it'd be a huge hit given a proper treatment:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy2grbcEBiA

zappa - willie the pimp

the brief transcendent moments of a hundred mediocre indie songs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beWZLCsIvjA

^intro

Never noticed it before but assuming you meant the riff 'willie the pimp' is a really good choice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bFp-DlVNtk

lots of good lil bits

The strings intro of this, with a little bit of pitch-shifting:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOzF8bN-PTg

Some wicked choices so far. Wasn't the Raphael track sampled by Violent by Design?

I meant sampled by Jedi Mind Tricks for the Violent by Design album.

Lucio Battisti - Ancora Tu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeF_BH-sYJk

totally share your love for that horn section!

It doesn't appear on the Wikipedia page of the album. Could it be another album?

Just checked and no it's definitely not been sampled by them tho it would fit quite well along the other samples they used on it. Good choice.

Thanks!

OOOOPS!

duran duran "the chauffeur"

so when some of these choices start showing up in popular hip hop songs a year or two from now, what'll you do?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzXCf3mKusc

first 12 seconds

The break in "Spacer" by Sheila B. and Devotion.

Ann Peebles - Can't stand the rain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CCrA5Lq5XU

She - Easy Money

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC9dOdkFSmE

think timbaland beat you to the ann peebles.
so much good music on this thread. love the Jacqueline Taieb, and yeah that psychfurs would go, sounds like newscast intro sting, real dramatic...

Timbaland sampled that same Ann Peebles song!? When?

pretty sure.
isn't there a track on "so addictive"?

don't know if u guys are joking about Timbo I am down this rabbithole so long. If not then The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) is maybe the greatest single and video ever imo so youtube is worth it in this instance, but you know, maybe yall are being super ironic I CAN'T TELL ANYMORE!

A quick google search tells he used it for Missy's 'Supa Dupa Fly'. Honestly had no idea it had been used, first time I hear the song. Really nice use of the sample, something a tad similar to what I had in mind :P

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_5GXwbzuy0

We should erase the whole thread before Timbaland finds it.

Whoa! it even peaked #3 in the US charts! Why had I never listened to this song before?

Little do ye know that the original poster is a hotshot producer low on inspiration.

I've been playing around with Alan Parsons Project's "Games People Play" (just the part after it kicks in, but before it goes to the verse), slowing it down to about 75%. If I could throw a beat on top of what's there, it would sound pretty sweet.

I've done the same, slightly slowed down the beat of Michael Sembello's "Maniac". I actually have a finished track now... that doesn't sound all that different from "Maniac". :/

"Pinball Wizard" with the "How do you think he does it? (I don't know.)" line slowed way down.

my cool and kinda obscure answer for years used to be Frankie Valli's Beggin, but that's kinda obvious now.

my other one was Phil Ochs' Tape From California.

Good question. Random list:

• Al Green, Belle
• Art Pepper, Tin Tin Deo
• Bee Gees, Spirits Having Flown
• Bill Evans, Waltz for Debby (Take 2)
• Blind Willie Johnson, Dark Was The Night/Cold Was The Ground
• The Chantells, Children of Jah
• Duke Ellington, Acht O’Clock Rock
• Johnny Clarke, In The Roots of the Ghetto
• Journey, Girl Can’t Help It
• Low, Silver Rider (the wordless chorus)
• Neil Young, See The Sky About To Rain (the bluesy guitar line)
• Planet P Project, Why Me?
• The Psychedelic Furs, Pretty In Pink (the Talk Talk Talk version)
• Prince Alla, Stone
• R.E.M., Laughing (the jangle-y guitar line or a snippet of the baseline)
• Rachid Taha, Rani
• Sammy Johns, Chevy Van (hard to make this one “cool,” I suppose)
• Steely Dan, Hey 19
• Sugar Minott, So Much Trouble (the vocal chorus or snake-y synth line)
• Sylford Walker, Deuteronomy
• Raul Seixas, Metamorfose Ambulante
• The Boris Gardiner Happening, Ghetto Funk
• Sweet, Fox On The Run
• Universals, New Generation
• George McRae, I Get Lifted (this has probably been sampled 1000 times already)
• Sir Victor Uwaifo & His Melody Maestros, Dododo (Ekassa No. 1) (the rising organ in the chorus)
• The Professionals, A Part Of Being With You
• WEB, The Same Old Me
• Harmonettes, Shame Shame Shame (cover version)
• Olivia Newton-John, Magic

I don't know. Something by Jame Brown.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp25PHbLPcU

wonder if someone like 9th Wonder has already got to this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCG3JyRRyKQ

I was thinking the other day someone should sample the line in "Silver Dagger" - "my daddy is a handsome devil/he's got a chain 5 miles long"

i'm sure i suggested this the last time we did this, but anyway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw2yWkgs_Nk

"dont bring me down" - elo

so much sample-loop it-fuck potential in that song.
cant believe it hasn't been done before.
[now i wait for someone to show me it has already !]

Guitar riff from "Down by the River"

Also - and i attempted this one time - opening bar of Dennis Wilson's "Dreamer" slightly sped up.

Driver's Seat - Sniff 'n the Tears

The guitar break at 1.45:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnQTGNcNpI4

Lauren Wood- Wood

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3GSPelcy_4

erm, fallen i meant

I'm sure something could be done with the opening 5 seconds of this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZANKFxrcKU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy71oHnVrL0

begging to be turned into a glacial cassie/teairra mari track imo

Goddamit! I was going to suggest Menahan Street Band's 'Make the road by walking' because its really sample-worthy but I just found out Jay Z already used it. Argh-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akvf1uc46pY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCDJ85DJJAs&feature=fvw

Tom Ze - Dor e dor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U74Qo9PyKQ8

^ Both the intro and the wicked horn section... tho it might be hard getting a clean sample out of the horn section since he's always singing on top of it.

Hate to do this to you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4evP8wRk3ys

(though it sounds like it's been replayed rather than directly sampled)

fuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not being replayed, it's a sample lifted from 'Quero Sambal Meu Bem' from Tom Ze as well. He uses the same riff in both songs.

That's it. I'm dropping off of university to pursue my dream of becoming a producer.

Sorry I meant 'Jimmy Renda-Se' not 'Quero samba meu bem'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPDag_8dbOU

So Amerie's sampling Tom Ze and making videos based on "Blow Up"???? Gunnin for that indie love, huh. ;)

Chairmen of the Board's Skin I'm In and Finder's Keepers.

Van Halen - "Everybody Wants Some"

This is a rad thread, btw.

I don't know how there isn't a 20-minute cosmic beats+echo edit of 10cc's "I'm Not In Love" out there. (Maybe there is, but I haven't found it yet.)

Once I thought I was really clever and sampled the drum intro to Amon Duul II's "Archangels Thunderbird" and sped it up to a dnb-ish tempo and it sounded really familiar. Has this break already done the rounds or does it just sound like a bunch of others?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTKBWLlwpn0

The RZA needs to get on the first few seconds of this.

sounds very Hitchcockian

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbWTCv1nxBA

Here's a bit of background on that, if you care.

^ I would prob. sample "Wheel And Turn Me" from Blind Blake Vol. II

Also, "Get The Money (Uncle Scrooge's Money)" from Mousercise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5pzVNtzETQ#t=0m50s
this bridge.. not the chorus

0:50

Seeing that Amerie already hijacked Tom Ze

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PIpPWP48Rs

far east family band - timeless

alan moorhouse - expo in tokyo

ofc

Grupo Soñador - El Paso del Gigante

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_WKocJcv7c

Brujeria - Don Quijote Marihuana

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNN_r1UFLik

Or in its original form:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB2z6H9ej9U

Freddy Scott - Hey Girl

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBFTr37AVFo

i think black eyed peas already used that magazine 60.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRDUu96mzvw

trying to do something with Propaganda's 'Loving'

Dammit... not the BEP per se but William used the sample >:(

http://www.whosampled.com/sample/view/448/Will.i.am-I%20Got%20It%20From%20My%20Mama_Magazine%2060-Don%20Quichotte/

Have to admit he did cool things with the sample :(

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XomQLhjCYYk

The song is damn stupid tho

Sampled by A Tribe Called Quest on a 12" version of Bonita Applebaum, but would love to hear it in yet another context. A big fan of those cheap flute synths.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW8UnXzP3ms

Actually I think that the sample comes from the chic remix:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyXLUvB-QHA

Marcos Valle - Parabens

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKrgeGQuu9g

First 30 seconds or so.

Magnetic Fields - The Dreaming Moon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvw8zRGkaBk

Several snippets from the intro and the vibraphone breaks would make a great edit.

Ok last one for the day, I promise. Mariah - 心臓の扉 (Shinzo No Tobira)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRgLhEGEetc

Great hooks throughout the song. No idea what kind of genre could find use in a sample like this one but would love to hear it anyways.

Ok I lied, but I promise this is the last one I'll post in months:

Jan Hammer - Don't You Know

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nntLbpBZ4B4

In the same vein as the Captain Beefheart and Dennis Wilson suggestions upthread (which I agree would make great samples).

Phil Cordell - Red Lady

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7jqLm9rb90

The intro (reggae intros are like a whole separate genre, huh?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0XUmIeuJZ0

^ Kind of sounds like the Goldfinger theme.

Garth Marenghi - I'm A One Track Lover

i'm sure someone has used this but whosampled's coming up nada

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkZ3iQrS9vA

yeh that drum breaks been used by DJ Shadow, Towa Tei etc etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XzGmdXbZmU

Actually that Millenium song has been sampled before:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkNYWO2fjCY

But I'd like to hear it in something better.

And on the topic at hand:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4dxHyhRDlc
at 3:40

i don't dislike the song or anything, but the piano intro here should really be used as a sample, by someone very rich.

Several parts of the song... actually the whole record is sample-worthy.

Warsaw Village Band - Fishie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZN-5ox29V0

Opening guitar line and bass.

The Cure's "Close to Me" and "Lullaby" would also make great samples but not sure if they've been used properly in the past.

Mmm just checked and "close to me" has been used by seeed, sort of covered by Lady Sovereign and mash-uped with Robyn. Seeed track makes me think if slowed down a bit, and with a few more beats would make a brilliant riddim.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v-I9Wdr4js
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp_pGK4eKe4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9E9hHz4WNg

Moka, go to youtube and search for "cure riddim". This is one of my favorites:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gu90vRQkgo

did anyone plead the case for, 'if I were a producer I wouldn't sample shit, I'll make up my own, thank you... dueces!'

Reminded by another thread where Scott S just bought a copy of this album. Anyway, I'm amazed if nobody has sampled about 1:43 in to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCJbpQzlDv8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3SJ0RwXTqM

George Hurley drum parts would be a gold mine. Has he been sampled much?

this wouldn't be as good as i'm imagining i'm sure but i've had a recurring thought of kool and the gang's "too hot" sampled by the jacka or something -- kind of his regular synth beat with a chorus sampling that somewhat odd bridge "feeling the pain."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiflayEt7FM

oh yeah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BWzi_VW3Ew

Maybe this has already been done, but this one seems totally obvious.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgOgEL72isY

Far as I know that Al Stewart song hasn't been sampled and it's a good choice.

Also loving that vivo sonhando version by Luiz Henrique. Never heard it before. Definitely stealing that one if I ever become a producer.

Wiz Khalifa has rapped on top of Chrono Trigger so I guess it wouldn't be that out of place to sample one of the greatest game soundtracks of all time:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73n7HTcmb5g

Overplayed but love how the main riff sounds with strings, not quite different from the original but would still sample... I'm sure the original has been sampled many times before no?:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBpSokJGu9Q

I know Soho sampled it for Hippychick and I love that one.

Aquatic Ambience has been sampled a few times in the past year Moka

would make a hard joey beltram style acid house track and sample biggie smalls saying "yo daughters tied up in a brooklyn basement" as the hook

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Voog2jxTuzQ

I'd definitely sample Esmeray:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkEJeTAQElg

I somehow remember this one being sampled (or covered?) already, but I can't seem to find any info on it. Any help finding it?

always wanted to make a beat out of In the City by the Eagles. Apparently some dude named Agallah did it, but the production sucks.

'Devil Woman', Cliff Richard

Ok I'm almost 100% sure that some (american?) disco artist covered that Esmeray track at some point but I can't find any info on it. It seems Turkey doesn't exist in the internets.

It's funny that this topic has cropped up, because I was listening to some music on shuffle play earlier and 'Beggars Farm' by Jethro Tull came on (from the album This Was) and I was so tempted to sample and loop the intro.

The first 22 secs of this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiEch8QZ_jE

Turns out that Esmeray song which I was mentioning would make a brilliant sample has in fact been sampled by none other than Public Enemy. Only Shirley Bassey's version titled Jezahel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICS-FhGeWtU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zh0-T0efTY

When the groove kicks in at 1:19

The riff in Roxy Music's Amazona

rude

?

I think he meant he would like to sample the guitar solo in Magic! - Rude. He wasn't calling you rude.

Oh OK, good, thanks! (Tho darraghmac's a lady, I think?)

It's all confusion

I been mistaken for a lot, on and offline, but

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGSTRYzOL6k

I always wanted to make a loop of the first bit when the drum comes in at :20.

i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred miles and

I reckon you make a sick loop out of 0.42 - 0.46 of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ki99YBVKyw

Also the synths at the start are really atmospheric.

especially the last bar of the intro (:21)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hK6IgvZ0CY

The groove at 4.15:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lyJ8Q4f4Vs

loop the few bars after the drums come in on this and you've got your triumphant hip hop track right there:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwAPFbQVMgs

...someone has done that already surely?

apparently, but it's mostly replayed and i'd like to hear it slowed/pitched down anyway:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz3JNPH4Lok

ha i knew it! good find jordan

I always wanted to make a loop of the first bit when the drum comes in at :20.

― Losing swag by the second (Dan Peterson)

Yeah that's a great intro, surprised noone has sampled it before.

Has noone sample Wings - Arrow Through Me?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42IPlbC9H_Q

There's many loops that could work in there.

Been sampled by PM Dawn;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0sVfDuHwFI
And Erykah Badu:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78FZdyM5-PI

Rad drums and beat some cool marimba and brass too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gaq5-t14FE

@ 2:25: "well, I hope he doesn't get hurt, but if he does, I'm sure they'll send up a medical satellite"

would be great at the beginning of a spacey trip-hop track by a band like...I dunno...Laika?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYwS6481oQk

Some spooky trap music, or maybe ambient chillwave, or something else...

Also Buhrman's cover of Demi Ruossos:

Main opening riff

I've always wanted to sample this little guitar figure (@ 2:53)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsiy1H5tIoM&feature=youtu.be&t=2m53s

When I was younger I thought "You know, you know" by Mahavishnu Orchestra would be a cool song to sample / loop a section of, but I think it might have been done already. I could imagine MC 901 Ft. Jesus rapping cooly over it.

"the brief transcendent moments of a hundred mediocre indie songs"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Ox8HzWVoA

This is cool beat and groove. There is something about it that really reminds me of Beck, which of course came a couple decades or so later.

has anyone ever sampled the heavy breathing/ticking effect from Beating Around The Bush by Mud? if not, someone should

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSEI353JEAM

Here’s several intros I’ve been looping which would make a great sample imho - they’re also great songs:

Melodies:
Omara Portuondo - noche cubana
https://youtu.be/frgbtk8mOhM

John Frusciante - outside space
https://youtu.be/nX4q6r0-TWQ

Montero - BC
https://youtu.be/XzI4EcFFBtY

Beats (this have been sampled already I guess)

Trevor Dandy - is there any love
https://youtu.be/LZ_5NC2ZpwQ

Bernard Estardy - cha tatch ka
https://youtu.be/KPZFJlLcM00

Barbatuques - baiao destemperado
https://youtu.be/zZfN3YaSRNQ

Joe Farrel - upon this rock
https://youtu.be/-0oq763amX0

This one seems ripe to be a deep house song, surprised this hasn’t been taken yet (that I’m aware of):

Ella Jenkins - who’s gonna be your man
https://youtu.be/U8Nw3Asi5ZM

ive sampled shangri-las (which was on my list to do) but i would def. sample montague in blue by scott walker

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plUgn_FC0sk

cloud rap beat sampling a portion of Sharkboy's lullaby. verses by a forgettable second-tier soundcloud rapper

"Man with the Harmonica" from Once Upon a Time in the West score. WhoSampled lists 24 tracks that sampled it, but none of them did it well imo.

If I were a dusty boom-bap producer, I would sample the guitar from the beginning of this Sarah Vaughan version of My Favorite Things, and the hits from the bridge around 2:00. Incredible version btw.

I've been listening to lots of old prog lately and noticed the bass intro to "Time To Dream" by Greenslade. Would be a good loop.

I would use the first 15 seconds of the season 4 (1977-78) opening credits of the sitcom Rhoda.

Great intro! Thanks for that.
Billy Goldenberg also wrote & conducted the score for a Columbo episode 'Ransom For A Dead Man'.

Nice. Goldenberg also did the original theme song to Kojak

I’m going to make terrible amateur vaporwave out of this stuff

Would love to loop the intro into an electronic song.

I have a bunch of these in this playlist

There’s so many already I don’t even remember which parts specifically made me think “eureka”… might need to really get into learning how to produce and start using them until I get sued.

^ Moka I am really enjoying this mix. Thank you for sharing!

Yeah I like listening to it for inspiration - even though I don’t have a band or know how to use a DAW lol.

any of the first 30 seconds of The Rolling Stones “Monkey Man”

That Rhoda intro is great, I don't remember it ever starting like that. xp

I didn't either bc till now I hadn't watched the show beyond the first three seasons, which lack that intro. It's weird how the intro is all minor and synthy and then the main part of the theme comes in all major and jaunty, with a melody - as I saw someone online point out - quite a bit similar to a 1908 composition called "The Yama Yama Man."
