What songs would you sample were you a producer?

Something amazing could be done with this.

Actually that Millenium song has been sampled before:

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

And on the topic at hand:

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

Wulu Bunun & David Darling - Lugu Lugu Kan-Ibi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lAI5QFXEFM

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.

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

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:

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."

oh yeah

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

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

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:

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.

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

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