Samples?

I have always been amazed about how nearly all the time, someone here knows the answer to just about any question you could come up with, no matter how trivial.

Okay, here's mine, and although it is hardly of earth-shattering importance, it is bothering me.

In Madonna's "Hung Up", which Abba song is being sampled?

In the Pussycat Dolls' "Beep", where is that sample from? It sounds so familiar, yet I can't place it.

Gimme Gimme - ABBA

We do have a resourceful crowd in this land of Yappadabbadoo aka The Lounge.

Thanks. Like I said, someone here always knows the answer.

'Beep' samples Electric Light Orchestra's 'Evil Woman'. It was produced by and features Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas (that's probably where the confusion comes in).

The ABBA reference for Maddona's sample is right, the full song title is 'Gimme Gimme Gimme'. Like the extra 'gimme' makes a difference

You're good!

Anyone seen 'Beep' video?

I hate samples. Why can't they come up with something original?

I didn't like sampling at first. MC Hammer sampling Rick James. Vanilla Ice sampling Queen. The pathetic thing about Vanilla Ice is that he would never admit he had sampled 'Under Pressure'. He always said his riff was different. Loser.

Let's face it--all the good tunes have already been written.

Aha! But if you are going to be a stickler about it, the full song title is 'Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)'. Kind of dirty isn't it?

OK, Strongbeau, I've got another music video question for ya, the man with all the answers.

In the Bon Jovi video, 'Who Says You Can't Go Home?', I could have sworn there was a chick singing alongside Jon in the song in the video when I first saw it a few months ago. But now the chick is gone from the video, as is her voice track. Was I imagining things? Who was she and where did she go?
