What songs would you sample were you a producer?

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:

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?:

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

I'd definitely sample Esmeray:

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.

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:

Also the synths at the start are really atmospheric.

especially the last bar of the intro (:21)

The groove at 4.15:

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:

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;

And Erykah Badu:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78FZdyM5-PI

funk/soul grooves have been sampled to death, i would love to hear more loops made out of flashy prog/fusion drumming

you could do something cool with the string break at 1:03:

Rad drums and beat some cool marimba and brass too.

@ 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...

From the portion that starts at about 1:26

Has this been sampled already? Sounds designed for sampling.

Also Buhrman's cover of Demi Ruossos:

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4UJXgmPqAE4

Both have sample-worthy elements.

drums right at the start

That last one:

thinking of looping 0:26-0:27, beefing up the drum work, and pitching it to corny rappers who rhyme "freshwater fracking" with "brash auteur rapping"
