What songs would you sample were you a producer?

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)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hK6IgvZ0CY

The groove at 4.15:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lyJ8Q4f4Vs

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

― 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:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsBNnyvYTo8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbD_c734ju4

Rad drums and beat some cool marimba and brass too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gaq5-t14FE

@ 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:

Both have sample-worthy elements.

drums right at the start

That last one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VDGmJJydcA

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"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgyzE7Ok2g0

Main opening riff

I've always wanted to sample this little guitar figure (@ 2:53)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsiy1H5tIoM&feature=youtu.be&t=2m53s

When I was younger I thought "You know, you know" by Mahavishnu Orchestra would be a cool song to sample / loop a section of, but I think it might have been done already. I could imagine MC 901 Ft. Jesus rapping cooly over it.

"the brief transcendent moments of a hundred mediocre indie songs"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Ox8HzWVoA

This is cool beat and groove. There is something about it that really reminds me of Beck, which of course came a couple decades or so later.

has anyone ever sampled the heavy breathing/ticking effect from Beating Around The Bush by Mud? if not, someone should

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSEI353JEAM

Here’s several intros I’ve been looping which would make a great sample imho - they’re also great songs:

Melodies:
Omara Portuondo - noche cubana
https://youtu.be/frgbtk8mOhM

John Frusciante - outside space
https://youtu.be/nX4q6r0-TWQ

Montero - BC
https://youtu.be/XzI4EcFFBtY

Beats (this have been sampled already I guess)

Trevor Dandy - is there any love
https://youtu.be/LZ_5NC2ZpwQ

Bernard Estardy - cha tatch ka
https://youtu.be/KPZFJlLcM00

Barbatuques - baiao destemperado
https://youtu.be/zZfN3YaSRNQ

Joe Farrel - upon this rock
https://youtu.be/-0oq763amX0

This one seems ripe to be a deep house song, surprised this hasn’t been taken yet (that I’m aware of):

Ella Jenkins - who’s gonna be your man
