@josh3mery a Sample means you can't make up your own crap. Hince all the garbage remakes of the last 10 years. If they had any talent, they wouldnt' need samples.......
@TheDBall73 booo. sampling has become just another instrument like a keyboard. most of the best hip hop production of the last 20 years is based on sampling. if you want an example of what sampling can produce, listen to something by girl talk. biz markie may have sampled this song but his song is still original and just as good. this is the 21st century. i can't believe people are still against sampling.
@jumpinkittyisnthappy cuz it was recorded in the 60's , i hear it on the radio from time to time on the slow jamz r&b stations. but i live in new orleans and we have a diverse radio community here. this was also sampled on a track in the 80's called "lets just be friends"
and this is why this generations music cant compare with the older stuff....they have no soul.and thats music in general,in rap,jip hop,rock,metal,none of them have any soul...except for an elite few of the artist.and its sad that a 16 yr old kid is the only one who realizes it.
john clavis u r a retard this song is a classic and if u listened to it more than once why would u hate on the lyrics and i guess tht might be the reason ur alone cuz ur too judgemental
Great melody, great orchestration, shitty lyrics. Sorry, but it has to be said. Does "...saved me, dear" *really* rhyme with "...do it, dear"? I mean, if you can just say anything and then put "dear" at the end and claim that that's a matching set of lyrics, then it's pretty much open season.
it's so freakin fun singing this song with friends. It doesn't matter if your voice sucks ass, so long as you got other people who suck just as much as you do.
Anybody can whore out a classic for the sake of a few bucks; just look at Sean Combs. But don't discredit an entire genre for the marketing maneuvers that a few artists make. The best hip-hop to make use of samples builds tastefully upon the media, recreating it so that it shines anew in a light not previously recognized.
I used to make that argument and I thought Sean Combs was the worst, but its just not true. They all do it. Combs just does it with very popular songs. Look up some of these so called "samples" and more times than not they use the whole instrumental. Sure the rappers still got to come up with the rhymes but producers get too much credit for their "genius". Its not 5 sec break beats or hook samples its the whole damn song. It aint just Puffy
Nonsense. Biz Markie created a barroom burlesque that will entertain people for decades to come. Nobody complains because "Rainy Day Women Nos. 12 & 35" is goofy and sloppy. Nobody complains about the lyrical mess-ups on "Let it Be". Biz's track is jovial and ridiculous and absolutely a classic, and his delivery is impeccable.
I don't know if you were attempting to make a joke, but clearly, it fell flat. You chose a fortuitous user name.
E.M. Youtube video download tool. It grabs more than youtube. It even grabs hulu and megavideo. just my two cents.... BUT YOU SAY HE'S JUST A FRIEND, BUT YOU SAY HE'S JUST A FRIEND. LOL

Overall, this IS a better song, but
"I went to the gate to ask where was her dorm
The guy made me fill out a visitor's form"
*is* a pretty good rhyme.
Besides, I'm alone. So Scott's lyrics annoy me.
