100 Songs that should have been sampled by now but haven't been...

I still do, but if the Igster is being used, I'd like to hear it. Disco Inferno can otherwise go jump in a massive pile of dung.

Has anyone used the intro bassline for Nilsson's "Jump into the Fire"?

Good one!

i mean, when you get down to it, there are TONS of unbelievably funky '70s rock that nobody has thought to touch, as far as I can see. I've never really understood why...

Seconded. And an enjoyable song in its own right, despite being placed in a jillion lame-ass "comedy" flicks.

& has anybody ever sampled "me amd julio down by the schoolyard"??

No, but Paul Simon made a video for the song in '89 or so with an incredible acapella rap intro by Big Daddy Kane.

A little shred of it was used as a sort of between-sample bumper in the Beastie Boys' "Shake Your Rump", and I'm fairly sure a more substantial bit was used for Cornelius' "Heavy Metal Thunder".

And c'mon, there's like 10 different Van Halen tracks that need to be sampled rite now; no need for that-fuckery. (Oh, hey, how about the first several seconds of their version of "Dancing in the Streets"?)

I've got a self-produced song containing both of these (the Billy Joel break is from "Don't Ask Me Why".) The reason I've never uploaded that one is because, well, it contains samples of Billy Joel and Steve Miller. Not the coolest dudes to sample in the world.

I would also add:
"Wounded Kite" by Pavement
"Trying to Live My Life Without You" by Bob Seger
"Murder" by Eleventh Dream Day
And this one, written by Stevie Wonder and performed by Ms. Carole Kaye

(God bless whoever showed me that Carole Kaye site on the bass thread!)

apols if any of these done already

Then there's The Upsetters "Bucky Skank" - especially that ascending glissando bassline.

I also long to hear the spoken intro to X-Ray Spex "I Am A Cliche" dropped into the middle of a hard house track.

i sampled "thirsty and miserable" for a song i recorded once. the results were mediocre, through no fault of Black Flag's of course.

Ms. Dynamite has used this, I think...

ur, someone sampled that.. but I'm not at liberty to say who yet. *cough*

would also add:
"Wounded Kite" by Pavement

the slack album!

And this one, written by Stevie Wonder and performed by Ms. Carole Kaye (God bless whoever showed me that Carole Kaye site on the bass thread!)

you're welcome! ;-D

if indeed it hasn't been, then it must be b/c mr. zappa was VERY much anti-sampling. as are the executors of his estate, apparently.

notwithstanding that little snag -- the intro to "inca roads" would also be great to use as a sample.

and i think can were sampled on ll cool j's 'rub my back', but im not sure.

Another nominee: Eno's "No One Receiving". That break is fire. (And it's PHIL COLLINS)

I'm sure there's loads of stuff that samples Can. At the moment all I can think of is 'Kowalski' by Primal Scream, which has drums from 'Halleluwah'

I heard 'Think' by Lyn Collins for the first time ever today, and I was thinking about a minute in, 'damn, how is it that I've never heard anyone sample a song this funky?' And then another minute lapsed and I LOLed at my naiveté.

montague terrace (in blue) for a hiphop beat

I'm surprised that Danny Taylor of the Silver Apples was never sampled

Kind of surprised that there hasn't been much sampling of Scott Walker in general.

Has anybody ever sampled...?

Steppenwolf "Magic Carpet Ride"

Perrey & Kingsley - The intro to "One Note Sample/Spanish Flea"

Nadia Cattouse - B. C. People

I made a loop of the intro and it sounds pretty sick

I feel like this could be chopped up into something good:

Rise above by Black Flag.

I can see all the hipsters now throwing down wicked shapes to a banging dance tune using the first four bars.

and it happend with Death Grips "Klink"

Has the intro to "Fascination" by Human League ever been sampled? I tried to do something with it years ago and failed to make anything interesting but I feel like it has potential

I once tried making a mashup of an instrumental of Fascination with the vocals of White Zombie's Thunderkiss 65.

It was very silly.

always wanted to do something with the opening instrumental of Disney Jungle Book but inevitably it wouldn't be allowed.

Banzai by Vladimir Cosma could be sampled:remixed into a nudisco house track

Science Fiction Double Feature has that line "Michael Rennie was ill". Surprised no one ever looped that one.
