N.E.R.D. She wants a Diamond or "Black Snake Wants to Dance"

N.E.R.D bridges genres and break new ground but there is more than a passing similarity between "She wants to move" and The Soft Boys "Black Snake Diamond Rock".
They are both awesome bands and I am only pointing out a connection between the two groups

lol I love it when white people recognize a sample. they think theyve uncovered a big unknown secret that they HAVE to explain & show you because you need to know this deep hidden secret theyve discovered, lol

welcome to hiphop, only people that dont really know didnt know

we knew, we always know, its part of the love of hiphop

@xpoondiggy this isnt even a sample dog, it's an influence..pay attention

Well noticed. Try watching 'Neptunes presents Clones - The Eigth Planet' part 1, 2 and 3.

Chad Hugo explains their method of sampling, that they may have used in this song.

This mix is awesome. It's like She Wants to Move was almost a cover of the Soft Boys song. I wonder if Pharrell and Robyn actually collaborated?

@MrSExperience ok, then replace the word sample with influence,....still applies...

now make a video about what song influenced Black Snake Wants to Dance, that'll be new

Well done! I am tipping my hat to you. We can only change the future when this whole pretense of "originality" as a commodity is shattered. In the end, the music is.
