Movie Samples in Music

zombie no.one · May 29, 2009, 07:48:56 PM

that reminds me, about 6 months ago I made a drum'n'bass track and used a bit of dialogue from one of the wavs uploaded on the b-movie reviews on here.

http://www.badmovies.org/movies/screamers/

I used the first clip in the dialogue section:

Jose: "This island is inhabited by zombies, the living dead. That's why the graves are empty, there are zombies here!"
Claude: "Stop it Jose, you're talking nonsense. Zombies don't exist, they've never existed."

if anyone wants to hear the track I could upload a clip...

Beyond The Valley of The Dolls- a sample is used in the song "Smoke Two Joints' by Sublime

Overkill's "Battle" uses a sample from Batman Returns, when Max Shreck is about to push Selina Kyle out of the window.

there is 'blood embrace' by bonnie prince billy and matt sweeney. it goes on for ages and just when the melodrama almost gets too much, they chuck in a sample from 'rolling thunder' that hilariously defuses it. brilliant.

Pop Will Eat Itself in the 80s used this aplenty I'm pretty sure...can definitely remember them sampling from THE WARRIORS and the TV theme from "The Twilight Zone" in particular.

MAN OR ASTROMAN does it a lot. Pretty cool choices.

Blood Duster has used bits from "Driller Killer" and "Bad Taste".

"id like to have a right down bloody shag with her on the floor real savage like"

Skinny Puppy does it a lot. Only one I can think of at the moment is in the song "Cage". It has a sample from Maniac (1980), where Frank Zito goes "but it's just a little blood...it'll wash out".

Pop Will Eat Itself also used BLADE RUNNER in their song "Wake Up, Time To Die".

That's from my favorite PWEI album. I miss their humor, but Clint Mansell is doing very well for himself as a film score composer. I only managed to see them live once very energetic show. Skinny Puppy I've seen probably four or five times. The Too Dark Park tour had tons of horror footage spliced together as the backing film.

How I envy you. I'm Canadian and I've never seen Puppy live. I know the video for "worlock" was banned because of the horror clips in it (I guess they weren't cleared or something).

Speaking of Skinny Puppy, anybody know where I can find a list of the samples used in their music? My Google searches have turned up web pages that promise a list and deliver dead links.

There used to be a big database for this sort of thing online, but I cannot find it either. Here though is a link to Radion's page who is doing a neat SP album by album run down with video clips of where the samples originated.

Thanks, I'll have to spend some time on that page.

Another quote, the group Revolting Cocks sampled the "pig" scene in Deliverance for their song "Beers, Steers and Queers."
