Most unusual samples for well known records

Apologies if done already but…

Was chatting to a fella at the match the other day. He was wearing an Utah Saints t-shirt, which switched the conversation to dance music, which left me wanting to revisit ‘Something Good’ (big choon of theirs from circa ‘92).

Something triggered a memory that the vocal sample was Kate Bush. Googled it - yep, ‘Cloudbusting’ off the ‘Hounds Of Love’ album.

Long story short, it set me off down a Kate Bush download rabbit hole, but that aside, great original, brilliant use of the sample.

Wasn't there a load of backstreet thuggery surrounding a knock off version released by someone else?

I think this one made in his student bedroom at 20 or something, then sampled to become one of the biggest pop dance songs ever

As per usual Rita, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Link maybe? X

Iirc someone bootlegged it and released it before Utah did. All very underhand stuff.

They were on a record label owned by Kate Bush at the time

Apparently it’s the only sample she’s ever cleared.
