I told him this when my team played the royals and he told me to get ****ed

 

[Sozabarus]

This is what happens when you let the guy who won the billy host the next round. Only yourselves to blame.

 

[Loonerty]

As long as you ******s keep talking about billying songs that don't fit the theme I'm going to be melting about it.

Melting is when you're actually angry though.

Mashups not allowed.

First song in playlist is a mashup

Not my song so I don't really care, but what is the difference I genuinely don't know

 

[Loonerty]

Mashups are songs made entirely of samples, essentially. Basically combining two (or more) songs into one song.

Sampling that isn't a mashup has original music/lyrics/something with the sampled material.

If anyone is wondering what a certain song samples, or why it was accepted: www.whosampled.com has all the answers.

Oh look it's on the internet, therefore it must be true

I typed in "Down Under" by Men At Work. Yep. Sure enough. It lists "Kookaburra" by Marion Sinclair as a sample, which is completely false. Greg Ham played the flute on Down Under. There were no samples. Debatable whether Greg Ham plagiarised those notes, but it was definitely him playing it.

David Bowie - "Young Americans" - the backing vocalists sing "I heard the news today oh boy" as a homage to John Lennon's "I read the news today oh boy"
This is not sampling.

Sweet - "Ballroom Blitz" - a blatant ripoff/reappropriation of the opening to "Let's Stomp", but not a sample. There are quite literally hundreds of thousands of examples of artists borrowing bits and pieces from other artists. If they're performing the music themselves, then it's stealing/plagiarising/whatever, but it ain't sampling.

Sex Pistols - "God Save The Queen" - this is probably the funniest claim of sampling on the playlist. The moron who submitted that entry to Whosampled.com reckons they've sampled the hook/riff. Bollocks!!! Not even close... And it's not a sample! Steve Jones played guitar on that track. They didn't use a loop of Link Wray's guitar riff.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Is that all boo? Do the rest!

 

[CakeEater]

The irony of complaining about the "oh its on the Internet therefore it must be true " whilst its on the Internet entertains me greatly.

On "Sex Machine" James Brown sings "shake your moneymaker" which is the title of an Elmore James blues song released a decade earlier.

But it's not a sample.

That would be like saying Incubus sampled Pink Floyd when they sang "Wish You Were Here" or that Prodigy sampled Pink Floyd when they sang "Breathe". (Prodigy sampled Wu-Tang Clan, Thin Lizzy and Little Richard)

Righto. I can see you're probably one of the morons who doesn't know what sampling is.

Good to have you on board.

The thread needs more folks with a deep appreciation of music to lift it out of the stinking quagmire that it's become of late.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Calm down sonny jim, i never actually listened to the song mine was meant to be sampled from, I just trusted the internet.. didn't really have time

 

[Plugger35]

I'm just relieved that BOO hasn't ruled a line through my song yet.

 

[ChappyUK]

That Utah Saints doesn't sound like I remember it.

I'm sorry we don't all share your all so superior knowledge of music

Thanks for the heads up

Does this also mean your votes will be in the earliest having listened to them and all

 

[Back One Out]

Don't worry. I'm sitting here shaking my head and ruling a line through 50% of the playlist - songs that haven't used samples, plus the overplayed hits which have won previous rounds or been nominated before

I should have my votes completed in record time.
