Elastica "Connection"

well, it's not quite a sample but elastica's "connection" makes use of the general tune

Are you talking about "Connection" by Elastica? Because they didn't sample "Three Girl Rhumba", they just lifted the riff from it.

It's not a sample per se, but Elastica borrowed the tune for their song "Connection"

hahaha you fuckin guys were all too late.

'Whats the song that rips off "Three Girl Rhumba" by Wire?' would be a more accurate question, though, unless there's another?

I'm assuming Gear's was a joke.

x-post I certainly hope so.

Lifting the riff exactly and playing it yourself may as well be sampling. Dr. Dre does that a loot.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 22 July 2004 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean a lot. Maybe it costs less loot?

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 22 July 2004 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah -

"Chuck D: Copyright laws pretty much led people like Dr. Dre to replay the sounds that were on records, then sample musicians imitating those records. That way you could get by the master clearance, but you still had to pay a publishing note."

What's that Led Zeppelin song that samples Robert Johnson?

he's not fucking talking about Connection you prats

― purple patch (electricsound), Friday, 23 July 2004 00:32 (twenty-two years ago)

the artist is called 'klonhertz'

― purple patch (electricsound), Friday, 23 July 2004 00:32 (twenty-two years ago)

the song is imaginatively titled 'three girl rhumba'

In Praise of: KLONHERTZ "Three Girl Rhumba"

Daydreamer by Menswear also does this.

― Vagina Wolf, Friday, 23 July 2004 00:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Menswear...hahahahahaha

Could you spare a few pence for a cuppa tea?

Can't you just ask your dad?

"Daydreamer" was definitely a Wire clone but didn't actually use "Three Girl Rhumba" for the riff -- trying to recall what they did use, though, if anything.
