Not one of 'em's a patch on the originals...
(And for me to defend 'Oh Sheila', that's saying a lot!)

Here are a few more:
"Waiting for a star to fall" by the Sunset Strippers and "In My Arms" by Mylo also sample 'Waiting For A Star To Fall' by Boy Meets Girl ( A great year for royalties this little known 80s band must have had!)
"Another Chance" by Roger Sanchez samples Toto's 'I Wont Hold You Back'
"Salsoul Nugget (If You Wanna)" by M&S Presents The Girl Next Door is a sample from 'Everyman' by Double Exposure
"Freak Like Me" by the Sugababes conatins a sample from The Tubway Army's 'Are Friends Electric' and covers Adina Howard's 'Freak Like Me'.
"I'm So Crazy" by Par-T-One samples INXS's 'Just Keep Walking'
"Blue Angels" by Pras samples 'Grease Is The Word' from the Grease movie soundtrack
"What Can You Do For Me" by Utah Saints samples the Eurythmics, 'There Must Be An Angel'
"Something Good" by Utah Saints samples Kate Bush's 'Cloud Busting'
"Set Adrift on Memory Bliss by PM Dawn and "N Dey Say" by Nelly both sample Spandau Ballets 'True' (and God knows why!)
Will Smith and Janet Jackson are the King and Queen of sampling IMO, they constantly sample stuff - I'm not gonna go into all their songs rught now!!
I'm currently writing an article all about sampling and have mentioned quite a few of the aforementioned tracks!

I completely forgot about that song. That was one of my favourites of 2001 :)
Me too. I'm not a big fan of dance music, but I like it when the lyrics are good and its just, i dunno, sorta 'nice' :)
'Out Of Touch' by Uniting Nations is also a guilty pleasure for me :/ But the original is so so SO cheesy!!
