"Aha! So That's Where That Sample Comes From!!!"

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?"

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.

i not only remember toktok vs soffy o but i remember how to spell their names

aaagh another casualty of my dead hard drive though

I always assumed that DJ Shadow thing was George Segal. Sounds exactly like him!

is that site doing anything whosampled isn't doing better already?

Haha rumbled on my copy and paste job on toktok and soffy o!

is that site doing anything whosampled isn't doing better already?

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.
