Really interesting thread. The "Kid Charlemagne" bit always made "Champion" for me.
Also: hip-hoppers

Becker: “He basically said this was a song (‘Champion’) that meant a lot to him. It was written about his father.”
Fagen: “I didn’t get that at all from the music.”
Becker: “I’ve had occasion to wonder since then whether that’s the same Kanye West.”
Fagen: “Maybe it was a prank.”
LOOOOL

Limited to what's on Spotify, obviously, so no De La Soul. Also I pretty much only used songs where the sample was used prominently. Tone Loc's "Cutting Rhythms" samples "Black Cow" at one point, but it's not the primary sample in the song.

Ha, GYA, didn't know you were in LL! Of course you are. (And ... whoa, you are doing very well for yourself there.)
Wonder if there are any other ILXors in LL -- besides you and me, I know of two: 1) n/a and 2) James Redd and the Blecchs. Also former ILXor the Good Dr. Bill.
