I think that's one of their best..Jennifer Lopez did a "sample" song
that used it but she gives credit for this, Midnight Cowboy being
sampled, and at least one other. (one song sampled in each.)BTW rapper
who sample likewise are very surprsingly generous with credit..lookit
any credit to a rap movie, even a comic one like Jamie Kennedy's
Malibu's most wanted or Redman and Method Man's How High (not that I
care for the laregly tuneless more seriosu side to it but that's off
topic - smiley) and the sampling is at least acknowledged.
Sadly not everyone whoi does this seems to acknowledge it- does Sugar
Ray acklowedge Suaveicto by Malo or Alone Again by GIlbert O"S (lyric
anyway) in their respective songs? Probaly not. In 1981 there was a
controversy over the Oak Ridge Boys's verison of country-western
singer-songwriter Dallas Frazier Elvira (not about the horror movie
host!!!) that samples Papa Oom Mow Mow (the the group ther
RIppingtons). Apparent ORB&DF did not give the Rippingtons credit for
that song being sampled.
