History Main / SampledUp

** Another Kanye example: "Gold Digger" samples Music/RayCharles' "I Got a Woman", but depressingly few people know that. There's a reason why Jamie Foxx, fresh from an Oscar win for ''Film/{{Ray}}'', sings the melody.

* In Mauro Picotto's "Komodo", the breakbeat and vocal melody during the downtempo "Save A Soul" interlude originates from Music/DeepForest's "Sweet Lullaby".

* The Gaelic OneWomanWail in Signum's "Cura Me", Music/{{Tiesto}}'s "A Tear In The Open", and the ''VideoGame/TombRaiderLegend'' soundtrack, contrary to belief, is not a stock vocal sample, but originates from Karen Matheson's recording of the folk song "Ailein duinn" for the soundtrack to ''Film/RobRoy''.

** Other ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' games use sampling too. In ''VideoGame/SonicRush'', the track "Back 2 Back" uses the main melody of "Louie Louie" by Richard Berry.

* Jordin Sparks' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWE0vdJeNbU SOS (Let the Music Play}]]"(not to be confused with the other SOS song mentioned above) seems to have to done this to Shannon's original [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB_dYLTHsPA "Let the Music Play"]].

* The Gaelic OneWomanWail in Signum's "Cura Me", Music/{{Tiesto}}'s "A Tear In The Open", and the ''VideoGame/TombRaiderLegend'' soundtrack'', contrary to belief, is not a stock vocal sample, but originates from Karen Matheson's recording of the folk song "Ailein duinn" for the soundtrack to ''Film/RobRoy''.

* The "All I want is the bass, yeah!" sample in Bart B More & Drop The Lime's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JcJl7naW2c "The Bass"]], featured in ''VideoGame/MaxPayne 3'''s dance club stage, is from Raze's early '90s classic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk2wraCFnXE "Bass Power"]].

* The techno loop in ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HapaZ9ERQlg Ragna Rock]] stage is actually a snippet from the song "Corruptor" by former Future Crew member and UsefulNotes/{{MOD}} musician Skaven, who was also a member of the development team at Remedy Entertainment.

* How about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDfUjM-vygI Booty Bounce]] by Dev? The song will probably sound unfamiliar to you. Then, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4s6H4ku6ZY Poppin' bottles in the ice...]]
** Of course, both songs were released in 2010, and Dev did get a credit on the single.

* The music in the Harlem driving levels of ''[[Franchise/DieHard Die Hard Trilogy]]'' for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation samples Music/PublicEnemy's [[Music/ItTakesANationOfMillionsToHoldUsBack "Bring The Noise"]], which has also been sampled in many real-life songs, eg The Prince of Rap's "This Beat Is Hot" and DJ Schwede's "Here We Go Again".

* "Another Dimension" by Timmy Vegas and Bad Lay Dee samples the organ riff from Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman(which has been sampled several times before), and the robotic vocals from the Music/BeastieBoys - Intergalactic.

*** The "My Name Is" sample was also sampled by the Music/WuTangClan six years earlier in "Can It Be All So Simple". Music/{{Beck}} [[WhatCouldHaveBeen nearly]] sampled it, but [[https://southpawers.com/2021/06/18/beck-labi-siffre-eminem-my-name-is/ was beaten to it]] by the release of "My Name Is" and scrapped the production.

* The reason the guitar riff to Music/{{Beck}}'s "Devil's Haircut" has such a 60's garage rock feel to it is it's taken from "I Can Only Give You Everything", by Music/VanMorrison's 60's band Them. And "Jackass" does the same to their cover of Music/BobDylan's "It's All Over Now Baby Blue".

* "Hoooo oooo Ooooo". A generation knew through Boney M's "Gotta Go Home", another can't hear that without adding [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWhtcU4-xAM "BARBRA STREISAND!"]] thanks to Duck Sauce. And yet Boney M took it from another German group, Nighttrain's "Hallo Bimmelbahn".

* Ma$e's "Feel So Good" takes the chorus melody from Miami Sound Machine's "Bad Boy (You Make Me Feel So Good)" and loops beats from "Hollywood Swinging" by Music/KoolAndTheGang under it.

** Other Sonic games use sampling too. In ''VideoGame/SonicRush'', the track "Back 2 Back" uses the main melody of "Louie Louie" by Richard Berry.

** And a meta-Sampled Up from the same song: "Bring The Noise" opens with a sample of a UsefulNotes/MalcolmX speech. And then Hideki Naganuma samples that same speech for "Wrapped in Black," the final boss theme of ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}''.
