I believe theres a sample or two in the song "7"

We Will Rock You was played during the intro at the Superbowl. Originally a Queen song.

The closing instrumental 'theme' song featured on "Rave un2 the year 2000" is the same score used as the closing credits on "Falling Down" (1993 Michael Douglas movie). I believe James Newton Howard composed the piece. Share some other examples of Prince using other artists music within his own work (omitting commissioned work such as Clare Fischer etc).

I had no idea, thx for the info

It wasn't credited on the DVD, was it?

Don't recall this piece of music used in that film. I just searched the OST for Falling Down on Youtube and can't find that piece anywhere. I'm pretty sure the music on the credits for Rave was a piece composed by Prince. It sounds very similar to the music that seagues between the end of Mr Happy and leads into In This Bed Eye Scream.

Big City is blatantly ripping off the Jamaica Funk bassline

I have the movie, I'll check it out soon.

If you also mean samples, I listened to The P yesterday and had big fun hearing a sample of Dominator - Human Resource in it. (as far as that's the original sound).

Fun because the members of HR were locals from where I lived then and that track was very popular those days.

In wich song did you hear that? Would be funny to me because Dominator was from my hometown

In the song The P. (unreleased rap track).

Then we might have the same hometown or at least close!

The James Brown sample in Gett Off.

Well, Sly and the Family Stone's Family Affair is sampled throughout Y Should Eye Do That When Eye can Do This? for starters .

Cheers! I will take a look in my collection. Dordrecht represents!

My place of birth!

Lived in HIA for a long time, and believe one of the members came from there as well.

A sample from "sweet nothings" by Brenda Lee is in Kiss. It's right after the lyric, "if you want to impress me". [Edited 3/20/16 20:52pm]

It's not a sample but yeah, the Mazarati background vocals are a perfect imitation! Great catch, I never knew

David Z said it himself, as OldFriends4Sale pointed out here:

Don't forget Jimi's "Little Miss Lover" sample in "Tick Tick Bang".

I like the major elements of Bang a Gong by T. Rex that make up a large part of Cream. I also like how he repurposed Phone Sex by GOMAB for Girl 6. LoLz

There's a website that has many of his samples: Who Sampled?

It lists 87 times he's sampled people.

i listened to tangerine dream..wheres the IIWYG sample???
