My wife and I went to Another Broken Egg with the kids yesterday. There was a 15 minute wait so we stayed outside to let the kids get a little energy out. While we were out there they were playing some songs from the 60's. One of them was a song I had never heard except as a sample in another song --

The 60's song was "Blue on Blue" by Bobby Vinton (1962) which I had only heard in "So Easy" by Röyksopp. I spent a good part of the afternoon scanning my favorites from Bent, Four Tet and Wagon Christ thinking they were the ones responsible for the new version. I hadn't listened to Röyksopp in a few months so I was pretty sure they were not the ones who used the sample. I found it on this samples database BUT they cited the Gals and Pals version (1967) (which was a remake of the Bobby Vinton version). Very cool site if you listen to a lot of electronic music.

In the end, I gained an appreciation for both the Bobby Vinton and the Röyksopp version. Now try getting that sample out of your head :)
