New Wave Outpost Forum

I'll be surprised if this topic hasn't been done before, but I don't ever remember it...

Had the dubious pleasure of hearing "The Macarena" on the radio today and there in the song was the Alf Moyet giggle used in "Situation" (actually a pretty common sample in late 80's house music as I recall).

Made me want to think of others. "Guns of Brixton" bassline on 'Dub be good to Me' and Smiths' "How soon is Now" on Soho's 'Hippychick' are two examples I recall from the late 80's/early 90's.

Help me build a list.

Set Adrift on memory Bliss by PM Dawn heavily used samples from "True" by Spandau Ballet. (Isn't Tony Hadley in the video as well somewhere?)

Man there are heaps (let me think a while)

"Puffy" Coombs just takes the entire non-vocal tracks from
[i]Notorious[/i] Duran Duran
[i]Every Breath You Take[/i] The Police

Best use of a New Wave sample:
[i]Planet Rock[/i] by Afrika Bambaataa samples from [i]Trans Europe Express[/i] by Kraftwerk

here in England they are always digging up 80s songs and building songs around them, they've done it with 'Valerie and 'Doctor Beat' of late. But I'd classify it more than sampling because there's so much in there. Lazy dance bands![|)]

Just goes to show that none of the above mentioned can write thier own stuff. On the other hand, it also shows that they know a good tune when they hear it.

The music you listen to is the soundtrack of your life.

I was shopping in a store and I talked to the cashier, they were playing cool older music and she said she liked it because now she knew where they got the music for all the new songs she listened to

I couldn't place this one for a long time since the sample is highly stylized: [i]Are Friends Electric[/i] by Gary Numan is sampled in the Beastie Boys' [i]Super Disco Breakin'[/i].

Ironically, I heard the samples in early Beastie Boys material before getting to know the 70s classic rock that was sampled by them.

Basement Jaxx - "Where's Your Head At" (Gary Numan "M.E.")

Destiny's Child sampled from Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen" in one of their last songs...which one was it? "Bootylicious" ? (Don't ask me how I know this)

•Utah Saints sampled Simple Minds 'New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) to great effect in the early 90's

•The Chemical Brothers sampled Kraftwerks 'Ohm Sweet Ohm' for the beggining of their track 'Leave Home'

Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" has been sampled in 2 rap songs:

"I Got To Have It" by Jermaine Dupri, Monica and Nas
and
"Pop Goes The Weasel" by 3rd Bass

I heard the same song twice last night, and it was that Rhianna song that samples "Tainted Love." She should be buried alive for that.

I'm hearing a distinctly New Order drum beat in this track. Can't seem to place my finger on which one it is though [:D] It comes in about halfway through.....
