I was listening to one of the many mixes of 'Beat Dis' by Bomb The Bass last night and I noticed it had managed to sample the 'shut up' from the start of 'Housequake.' It got me thinking about some of my favourite songs for their cheeky samples. I include in this category those songs that sample really obscure tracks that sound great and make you want to go out and hunt down the original. Here are a few of mine, what are yours?


Armand Van Helden - Koochy (Gary Numan - Cars)
Yomanda - Synth 'N' Strings (Liquid Gold - Dance Yourself Dizzy)
A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It? (Lou Reed - Walk on the wild side; Ian Dury & The Blockheads - What A Waste)

De La Soul - Eye Know (Otis Redding - Sitting on the dock of the bay; Steely Dan - Peg & FM)

Janet Jackson - All For You (Change - The Glow of Love)
Rest Assured - Treat Infamy (The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony)
The Avalanches - Since I Left You (Klaus Wunderlich - Let's do the latin hustle; Main Attraction - Everyday)

I-Monster - Daydream In Blue (Gunter Callman Choir - 'Daydream')

I love Don't Stop The Music by Rihanna. It samples WBSS by MJ. I also love Baby by Fabolous.. It samples Mj's I Can't Help It. Is that what you mean lol?

Yes I do

I also loved the cheeky sample of MJ's 'I Can't Help It' on De La Soul's 'Breakadawn' and especially SWV's 'Right Here' which sampled 'Human Nature.' The Human Nature duet mix of SWV's 'Right Here' is my favourite white label of all time because it actually samples MJ's vocals from 'Human Nature' and makes a cracking duet.

Awww come on - let's resurrect this!
