      "When the Levee Breaks" is one of the most sampled beats in music (After the Amen break mentioned in this video, the Funky Drummer break from James Brown, and the intro from "It's a New Day" by Skull Snaps), and I don't see any reason to think that the sound in "Army of Me" isn't sampled from it. It sounds like it's gone through a filter though. But compare "Army of Me" against Rob Dougan's "I'm Not Driving Anymore (Instrumental version)" which definitely uses the sample while also alluding to Bjork's bassline, and I think it's pretty unmistakable.
      Dougan also famously used the Skull Snaps beat in his most famous track "Clubbed to Death (Kurayamino variation)" in which he added it over a sample from Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations.

    In Denmark, a very popular Christmas song, used the sleigh bells from a old version Sleigh Ride. Only problem, they forgot to get permission, so the settlement was, that the original artist receives 77% of the royalties from that Christmas song. Only problem (for the Danish group) between 2008-2012 it was the most played Christmas song on public radio.

    A lot of tunes that use the "When the Levee Breaks" sample do it in a slightly different way. In the mid 80s there were companies producing EEPROM chips for drum machines which had famous drum sounds on them, one such package you could get was the Bonham Memorial pack, commonly used to replace individual drum sounds in LinnDrums. Hence you have artists like Howard Jones using them (in the original "No One Is To Blame" for example). Art of Noise was another such artist who made use of them a lot.

    A couple notes: As others pointed out, you said Wyclef Jean's name wrong. It's not jean like blue jeans, it's more like "John".
    Hips Don't Lie is an interesting one, because IIRC Wyclef originally wanted it to be a Fugees reunion, writing it for Lauryn Hill and calling it "lips don't lie". She turned it down, so he did a solo version for that Dirty Dancing direct-to-DVD sequel, then got Shakira to sing on it instead, changing lips to hips. It wasn't so much him sampling himself as "Dance Like This" is kind of a prototype. Similar to what happened with Sean Paul's song "Give It Up to Me" which was from his album The Trinity, but got a duet part added with Keyshia Cole and used in the film Step Up. (The lyrics were also cleaned up a bit too, google the two if you want to see what I mean)
    Both Beep and Hips Don't Lie are very clever songs, IMO, because they take a small sample that's kind-of out of place in the original song, and make an entire beat out of them. Evil Woman just randomly has that string part in the middle despite it not vibing with the rest of the song at all (and in fact, Jeff Lynne lifted it from a *different* ELO track!)
    On the topic of people sampling samples, though, this has come up a lot in hip-hop; Flo Rida used the vocal samples he uses in "Good Feeling" and "I Cry" after a different artist sampled them first (Avicii - Levels and Bingo Players - Cry (Just a Little)). I got the multitracks to I Cry and it's literally lifted from the Bingo Players track, not going back to the original Brenda Russell song.
    Also it should surprise no one that Pitbull sampled Jump Around for a recent song called Jumpin'. I half thought you were going to use that example first before delving into the samples making up Jump Around. Most of Pitbull's tracks are samples as well.

I much prefer the approach taken by the examples showcased here, where it's a treat to find out that a new track is based on an obscure piece of music, and arguably making it a hit in the process.

    I usually know a fair amount of these as I was in the thick of audio engineering during the time of early sampling, plus I DJed at the time too. I used to buy a lot of import house records and naturally ended up with Ride on Time before it hit the UK. It was hugely popular when I played it, and of course when it hit our charts, I picked up the British 12" and the remix too. Played them a lot obviously, and yet to this day I never realised the vocals were different.
    I'm going to have to go and investigate now....
    I know I have several versions of this song. Again the original Italian import, plus it appearing on some other Italian compilation, the original UK 12", the remix and at least one other on a compilation, as well as the Loleatta Hollway 12" with acapella. I did note that at the time, Dan Hartman's writing credits popped up on later UK copies.

    Some context for "interpolation." When I would submit my remix for an artist to their label, I'd have to fill out a "sample sheet." The publishing lawyers start the process of getting the samples cleared from the original publishers. If they couldn't get it cleared (or find the publisher), we'd head back in to the studio and try and recreate the sample. Even if it was 1.4 seconds of a full band. The engineer would do their best to dirty it up and match the original.
    Another trick is to sample the artist's really early, indie label releases. That way, the first label, that believed in them from the start, can get a share in the remix royalties.

    Would you be willing to do another list, but of "interpolations"? I am a huge Carly Rae Jepsen fan and her song "Shy Boy" interpolates "MIdas Touch" by Midnight Star. It would be cool to see how many modern songs also borrow from older material.

    If you haven’t already, I think it would be cool to see a video on songs that purposefully go out of key. (Eg the vocals change key while the instrumental doesn’t) A good example would be “Gonna Make You Sweat” by C&C Music Factory. I don’t know much about music theory, but it sounds to me like the main vocals go off key at some parts and it gives the song a pretty unique sound.

    For Glory Box, Tricky (from Massive attack) used the same sample the same year for their own Trip Hop track. As far as I'm aware it was a genuine coincidence, although they were both from the same scene in Bristol, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some shared point of inspiration.

    10:18 Those trumpets always remind me most of Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz - Deja Vu (Uptown Baby). Even though I was only 9 years old when that dropped in 1997, it ended up being a middle school and high school staple.

But having said that - this was totally unexpected as I do also dig Steely Dan and had no idea that was the sample used after the trumpets. What a funny clip when he started rapping over his own original sample haha pure gold.

    Never noticed Bjork sampling Zeppelin! Also, it's a traumatizing song, but Kim by Eminem is also based on a drum sample of When The Levee Breaks. Had no clue till recently. The snare from WTLB was also the snare in Depeche Mode's Never Let Me Down again.

    I've seen that on some stereo recordings the vocals can often be removed due to the way they alias the vocals on both channels. I'm not sure on the exact method, but it's almost like subtracting one from the other leaves behind a mono version of the backing track. It's not always a perfect method though.

    Um, David. "Shoot Your Shot" is by JUNIOR Walker and the All Stars; it is credited properly in the video image, as Walker usually used the abbreviation rather than the full spelling. Granted, listening to that sample in "House of Pain" may make you want to reach for, and down, a whole bottle of Johnnie Walker, but . . . . . . . . .

    It was my understanding that Portishead's entire album was Interpolated to get around the the legal issues of sampling. Also, as mentioned by another user, Tricky overheard "Glory Box" and used it as well. There's an artist who comes from the Jamaican tradition of soundsytems and sampling, a la King Tubby.
