And, erm, Withnail and I, which might actually be the most sampled film ever. (At least in indie circles - Christ, even Ride sampled it.) A cult film that I only saw by accident on holiday last year and every thirty second was a quote I'd heard sampled before.
There was a certain amount of "dude! you're so not original!" but then changed my mind to think that Hrm, OK, actually maybe the people in question had better taste than I gave them credit for.

Coolio doesn't sample, he covers Lakeside's "Fantastic Voyage". The original is also such a better song.

I picked out the signature drums and "hey's" out of Bow Wow Wow's rendition of "I Want Candy" on Lithium's "Ride a Rocket."
Iron Maiden's "The Prisoner" sampled dialogue from...er..."the Prisoner."
Tricky's "Aftermath" samples a guitar snippet from the Specials' "Dawning of a New Era" rather clumsily.
The tail end of "Mathematics of Chaos" by Killing Joke samples Lt.Uhura from "Star Trek" reading a sequence of repeated numerals.
Pop Will Eat Itself sampled dialogue from "The Warriors" all over THIS IS THE HOUR, THIS IS THE DAY, THIS IS THIS.

"We're all gonna die!" and Ash says "We're not gonna die, we're gonna get out of here! Scottie!" and I thought: "So Simon Reynolds got it wrong in Energy Flash - Subnation didn't sample Star Trek in 'Scottie' (Sutcliffe is right - he doesn't do his homework!)

Also, I was just listening to "Alphabest Street" last month and realized Arrested Development sampled "Tennessee" from it.

Also, I was with Keith when we saw "Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls", and that sample sure freaked me out.

"I had killed a man. A man who looked like me."
I never realized this was a sample until I was watching this movie about undercover narcotics agents, I think it was Deep Cover, and the line popped up as a voice-over during one scene. I had to pause the video and throw in FSOL just to make sure, but it was dead on.

And I was thrilled to find at least four different samples in Idris Mohammed's "Loran's Dance." There are probably more than that.

Um er uh. It was Cindy Wilson going "I'm just ASSSSKING!" from "Dance This Mess Around" and it was used on a PE song on Fear of a Black Planet, I remember that much.

Thank you for that link! Solved some long outstanding questions for me. I'd assumed the "I say parking tickets? you're crazy! I don't... He says well, they have some outstanding warrants left on you, and they want to just solve them you know, whatever it'll be" bit on Endtroducing was Elliott Gould, but I was wrong!

I realized where a DJ Shadow sample had come from whilst watching THX 1138 a couple weeks ago: the robot saying "Are you now, or have you ever been?"
― tanuki, Sunday, 4 March 2012 23:57 (twelve years ago) link
When it first came out, "Missy Queen's Gonna Die" by Tok Tok vs Sophie O sounded very familiar but I could never pinpoint what it was. Until I randomly heard Kim Wilde's "Cambodia" one day and went Hey! They built their song on a sped up sample of this!
Then the exact same thing happened with their song "Day of Mine" which samples Grace Jones' "Do Or Die".
I can't believe I still remember TokTok vs Sophie O.

Watching 1984 with John Hurt "I hate goodness/I hate purity/I want everything corrupt" and it's all ah! Manics Holy Bible! Although I'm ashamed I should really know that quote from the book anyway.

Great site, especially the ID on that Shadow sample - I'd always assumed it was Elliott Gould too. Needs a Saint Etienne section. When I first saw Head I was delighted to recognise samples from St Etienne ("I'm always the dummy"), DJ Shadow ("Quiet, isn't it?") and Meat Beat Manifesto (the voxpops) - feels like one of the set texts, like THX1138 and Dark Star.

LeRooLeRoo I still remember TokTok vs Sophie O because i LOVE that song. I was listening to the Martini Bros "remix" of it just the other day actually. I put quotes around "remix" because they basically recorded an entirely new backing track for it that sounds like the harder side of Stereolab.

Amazing version that. Like the Soulwax mix of Ladytron's Seventeen, he says, derailing the thread further.

aaagh another casualty of my dead hard drive though
I always assumed that DJ Shadow thing was George Segal. Sounds exactly like him!

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 5 March 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
Doesn't Whosampled only list songs sampled in other songs? That site lists movie dialogue and other voice samples in songs, so it's a totally different thing.

oh ok, fair point

Tracer I still love that song and the remix too (and "Seventeen"). Did you know the Kim Wilde song?

Looks very useful, but how do you add to it? I can't see any wiki page or way to submit data.

Yeah, that was my thought too. I wanted to add a track but it doesn't seem obvious at all.
