What songs would you sample were you a producer?

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?

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

sounds very Hitchcockian

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.

Brujeria - Don Quijote Marihuana

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

Freddy Scott - Hey Girl

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

i think black eyed peas already used that magazine 60.

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.

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:

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