Lady Loop

Things I learned today:

1. The first of Satie's Gymnopedies (1888) was sampled by Janet Jackson in "Someone to Call My Lover" (2001).
2. Elgar's Enigma Variations, Op. 36 (1899) was sampled in "Clubbed to Death" by Rob Dougan (1995).
3. And Grieg wins the prize with two works sampled: Solveig's Song (1876) in "Sometimes" by Wax Tailor (2007), and (surprise, surprise) In The Hall Of The Mountain King (1876) in Tango's "Can't Stop The Rush" (1992).

For those of you who are less nerdy, check out the rest of "the ultimate database of sampled music and cover songs": WhoSampled. The Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams Are Made of These"? Sampled 9 times and covered 4 more. (And...that didn't clear up the nerdiness, did it?)
