What songs would you sample were you a producer?

wonder if someone like 9th Wonder has already got to this one:

I was thinking the other day someone should sample the line in "Silver Dagger" - "my daddy is a handsome devil/he's got a chain 5 miles long"

i'm sure i suggested this the last time we did this, but anyway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw2yWkgs_Nk

"dont bring me down" - elo

so much sample-loop it-fuck potential in that song.
cant believe it hasn't been done before.
[now i wait for someone to show me it has already !]

Guitar riff from "Down by the River"

Also - and i attempted this one time - opening bar of Dennis Wilson's "Dreamer" slightly sped up.

Driver's Seat - Sniff 'n the Tears

The guitar break at 1.45:

Lauren Wood- Wood

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3GSPelcy_4

erm, fallen i meant

I'm sure something could be done with the opening 5 seconds of this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZANKFxrcKU

begging to be turned into a glacial cassie/teairra mari track imo

Goddamit! I was going to suggest Menahan Street Band's 'Make the road by walking' because its really sample-worthy but I just found out Jay Z already used it. Argh-

Tom Ze - Dor e dor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U74Qo9PyKQ8

^ Both the intro and the wicked horn section... tho it might be hard getting a clean sample out of the horn section since he's always singing on top of it.

Hate to do this to you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4evP8wRk3ys

(though it sounds like it's been replayed rather than directly sampled)

fuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not being replayed, it's a sample lifted from 'Quero Sambal Meu Bem' from Tom Ze as well. He uses the same riff in both songs.

That's it. I'm dropping off of university to pursue my dream of becoming a producer.

Sorry I meant 'Jimmy Renda-Se' not 'Quero samba meu bem'

So Amerie's sampling Tom Ze and making videos based on "Blow Up"???? Gunnin for that indie love, huh. ;)

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbWTCv1nxBA

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.

this bridge.. not the chorus

0:50

Seeing that Amerie already hijacked Tom Ze

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PIpPWP48Rs

far east family band - timeless

alan moorhouse - expo in tokyo

ofc

Grupo Soñador - El Paso del Gigante

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_WKocJcv7c

Brujeria - Don Quijote Marihuana

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

Or in its original form:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB2z6H9ej9U

Freddy Scott - Hey Girl

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

i think black eyed peas already used that magazine 60.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRDUu96mzvw

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

^ Moka I am really enjoying this mix. Thank you for sharing!

Yeah I like listening to it for inspiration - even though I don’t have a band or know how to use a DAW lol.

any of the first 30 seconds of The Rolling Stones “Monkey Man”

That Rhoda intro is great, I don't remember it ever starting like that. xp

I didn't either bc till now I hadn't watched the show beyond the first three seasons, which lack that intro. It's weird how the intro is all minor and synthy and then the main part of the theme comes in all major and jaunty, with a melody - as I saw someone online point out - quite a bit similar to a 1908 composition called "The Yama Yama Man."
