wordsfromlee Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Technically, it's not played by them as 'My Name Is' uses an interpolation of the song rather than directly sampling the track. Dr Dre always re-records a sample as he has more control over manipulating it and then only has to pay the publishing rights to use it. Quote

Although yes Dre does that a lot, I am pretty sure that in the case of My Name Is, he uses a direct sample as Labi Siffre refused to clear it until lyrics were changed. Plus Siffre got all the publishing rights to it, so poor old Chas N Dave, as lowly session musicians, got nowt. Don't worry, they'll always have Ossies Dream. @Chris B Such a great little fact isn't it? That songs been sampled a fair few times as well. Quote
patiirc Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 TIL 'Knives' from Scott Pilgrim is 'Fortune Cookie' from Glow. I had not even made the connection and have been clearly not paying any attention whatsoever *facepalm* Quote

It was at number two for multiple weeks behind "Everything I Do" by Bryan Adams. There's quite a few that surprisingly only reached number two. Robson & Jerome kept both 'Wonderwall' and 'Common People' off the top spot. Quote

Even more odd, as it reeks of a number 2. A big, fat, steaming number 2. I think you should start a thread listing 500 songs better than Angels. Quote
