Taking a portion of an existing audio recording, usually a musical work, and putting it in a show, video, or another musical work. Not to be confused with interpolation, which is recreating or replaying the said portion. If it's in a show or movie, it doesn't count if it's meant to be part of the soundtrack. It has to be lifted from something else. It's mostly associated with Hip-Hop, House Music and other types of popular music (such as industrial and electronic music), but can appear in some Fan Work, like Abridged Series (as long as there is no profit, it can fit under fair use laws). Now it's unoriginal by definition, but it's not copyright infringement as long as the source is either public domain or properly licensed out. And when done right, it can be a great way to add mood to an extra work. Indeed, most early uses of sampling were with found sounds or sounds made in the studio, exploiting Everything Is an Instrument to full effect (for instance, Peter Gabriel's Security liberally included recordings made from playing around in a junkyard). Sadly, copyright law is still extremely murky when it comes to sampling other songs: most rap producers in The '80s ignored the laws without consequence, it wasn't until the Grand Upright Music Ltd. vs. Warner (Bros.) Records Inc. case of 1991 that authorization from the original copyright holders became legally required. The practice of sampling copyrighted songs and performances consequently wouldn't reemerge until the 2000's, when artists and producers could finally afford the immense legal fees. There are many methods of sampling, but the most widespread nowadays and the one attracting the most Hatedom is the "loop-it-and-leave-it" method, which basically implies sampling a part of or a whole song, repeating it, and then rapping over it. This often attracts criticism because of its "lazy" and "unoriginal" nature. Compare, for example, "I'll Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy, with its telegraphed-from-a-mile-away easily recognizable sample (from "Every Breath You Take" by The Police), against the Bomb Squad's work with Public Enemy, with its dense layers of samples that aren't easily recognizable. If you're interested in lists of who sampled what and where, The-Breaks and Who Sampled are great reference sites. While sampling in the 2020s is typically done digitally, in The '70s disco era, DJs would isolate sections of a song by finding them on a record and playing them on a turntable. Jamaican DJs would take a favored section of an existing song and have it pressed onto vinyl as a dub plate. A "toasting" vocalist could then improvise boasts and patter over the sample on the dub plate note https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toasting_(Jamaican_music). The Jamaican practice of "toasting" is the antecedent of American rapping. Rock Me, Amadeus! is a Sub-Trope. Sampled Up is where the sampler eclipses the samplee. |

Sonic the Hedgehog CD's original Japanese soundtrack sampled from a lot of 80's funk, dance, and R&B music. For example, the boss battle theme samples Xavier's 'Work That Sucker to Death'; all of the Stardust Speedway tracks use a vocal sample from War's "Me and Baby Brother"; and Stardust Speedway "B" Mix features a sample from Jocelyn Brown's 'Love's Gonna Get You' (perhaps better known from Snap!'s 'The Power'). | |

Some bands take sound clips from movies or TV shows and insert them into their songs. Dream Theater in particular does this often, a good chunk of "Space-Dye Vest" is made up of sound bites, and the first three minutes or so of "The Great Debate" is made up of samples of news clips. Exhaustive research has established that the top 5 most sampled non-musical works are: Blade Runner, NASA, Apocalypse Now, Aliens, and JFK. | |

The faux-live cover version of "Love Me Tender" that appears near the end of The King & Eye eventually gets interrupted by clashing loops of The Rolling Stones' version of "Not Fade Away", The Animals' version of "House of the Rising Sun", The Yardbirds' version of "I'm A Man", and finally The Beatles' version of "Blue Suede Shoes" - this symbolizing the idea that Elvis was eventually eclipsed by The British Invasion. | |

Deconstructing Beck was a compilation by various artists where every track consists entirely of unauthorized rearranged Beck samples. The compilation was largely seen as raising a point about sampling itself: Since Beck has the backing of a major label, it's relatively easier for him to use sampling in his music without legal repercussions, whereas independent artists who want to regularly engage in sampling may have to fly under the radar to avoid being sued out of existence. The producer behind the compilation actually called the forthcoming release to the attention of Beck's legal team as a publicity stunt - the lawyers took the bait and threatened legal action, only to find that the label, producer, and most of the artists were good enough at keeping their identities a secret that they couldn't figure out who to actually sue. | |

YMO themselves would later use actual sampling much more thoroughly on Technodelic in late 1981, with a custom-built PCM sampler (the first of its kind, in fact) that allowed them to make songs almost entirely of samples from found sounds or sound effects created in-studio, with even their vocals being used as samples, resulting in the album being treated as one of the Trope Codifiers of this practice. | |

A good amount of EarthBound's soundtrack is sampled from various sources, with some songs being composed entirely of modified audio samples (such as "Megaton Walk" and "The Place", which respectively sample "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" by The Beatles and "Deirdre" by The Beach Boys). This video provides a thorough guide to the various audio samples used throughout the game's soundtrack. Notable for being one of the first video games to use this technique on a sample-based cartridge, with some people joking that EarthBound invented Vaporwave. | |

Biz Markie frequently sampled songs in much of his output; most notably interpolating Freddie Scott's 1968 song "(You) Got What I Need" for "Just a Friend". However, Markie's most infamous example was sampling Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again (Naturally)" on his own similarly-named song without permission, which led to an absolutely massive lawsuit from O'Sullivan that both not only made sampling prohibitively expensive and require full permission from the copyright holder, but essentially killed Markie's career. | |

Negativland , led by sound collage master Don Joyce, refined this to an art form. In possibly their best known escapade, they got in trouble with Island Records for sampling U2. The album with songs sampled from such band would get re-released 10 years later as These Guys Are from England and Who Gives a Shit, which you can find on YouTube. There's much more at the Internet Archive. Their book Fair Use, discussing the U2 sampling controversy, is also freely available there. Casey Kasem was probably less than thrilled with the use of some of his swearier outtakes— one of which provides the album title above. |

Pepe Deluxé began their existence as a sample-heavy trip hop ensemble. Over the years, they transitioned to psychedelic pop, and various licensing hassles convinced them to stop using samples. However, they like the sampling aesthetic so much that they continue to record and mix so their (original) songs sound like they were built from samples. | |

Sam Hunt's "Hard to Forget" samples Webb Pierce's "There Stands the Glass," with lyrics in the opening...and that's pretty much it. It's an unusual choice, since the two songs are only tangentially related. Hunt's is a break-up song about running into things that remind him of his ex, while Pierce's is a break-up song about Drowning My Sorrows. | |

Possibly the weirdest example ever: the opening theme song to the Hellsing OVA, "A World Without Logos," samples from "When You Wish Upon a Star." It's nigh-impossible to pick out unless you know exactly what you're listening for. More specifically, listen for the flute sample at about 2:10 into the song. The surrounding strings are also part of the sample, but the flute melody is particularly distinctive. |

Sonic the Hedgehog has a long history of sampling music: Sonic the Hedgehog CD's original Japanese soundtrack sampled from a lot of 80's funk, dance, and R&B music. For example, the boss battle theme samples Xavier's 'Work That Sucker to Death'; all of the Stardust Speedway tracks use a vocal sample from War's "Me and Baby Brother"; and Stardust Speedway "B" Mix features a sample from Jocelyn Brown's 'Love's Gonna Get You' (perhaps better known from Snap!'s 'The Power'). Sonic Rush's "Wrapped In Black" samples from, amongst other things, a Malcolm X speech. |

The French group Justice do microsampling (Using split-second samples). Their first album has over 400 samples. "Newjack" stands out for using microsampling on a single song; The Brothers Johnson's "You Make Me Wanna Wiggle". The result is almost unrecognizable. |

Neon Indian does this often: Psychic Chasms: "Deadbeat Summer"'s instrumental is the same as Todd Rundgren's "Izzat Love?". Later, on the same album, a sample of Rundgren's "How About A Little Fanfare?" makes up part of the intro to "Local Joke". The single "Sleep Paralysist" samples the theme to Beyond the Darkness. VEGA Intl. Night School: The voice saying "Friday after dark!" in "Bozo" comes from this Cinemax ad from the 80s. |

Done several times in The Hamilton Mixtape, sampling from the show Hamilton. Given Lin-Manuel Miranda's involvement in both, it's not surprising. "Immigrants (We Get the Job Done)" samples "Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)". "Wrote My Way Out" samples "Hurricane". "Say Yes to This" uses the instrumental track for "Say No to This". It could almost be considered a parody/cover, except the beat and meter used in the two songs is completely different. The beginning of "An Open Letter" samples the piano part for "Wait For It", which makes sense, because it immediately follows Usher's cover of the song on the album. "Take a Break - Interlude" and "Stay Alive - Interlude" sample/remix the songs of the same name. |

Flo Rida garnered a truly legendary amount of backlash and hatedom over his songs "Right Round" and "Sugar", which shamelessly sample Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" and Eiffel 65's "Blue" respectively. Flo Rida also has sampled 3 songs in a row twice. Etta James' "Something's Got A Hold on Me" was sampled by DJ Avicii in "Levels", which Flo Rida sampled as "Good Feeling"; and Brenda Russell's "Piano in the Dark" was sampled by DJ group Bingo Players in "Cry (Just A Little)", turned by Flo Rida into "I Cry" |

Mr. Bungle used samples heavily in their self-titled debut, mostly from NES games, but also two infamous clips from a porno and a puppet show that share the band's name. Also, the original demo version of "Anarchy Up Your Anus" started with a sample from Chilling, Thrilling Sounds Of The Haunted House, a Halloween album of narration and sound effects released by The Walt Disney Company - for a 2020 remake of their first demo, The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny, they just had actress Rhea Perlman recreate the narration from the original version, rather than go to the trouble of getting Disney's permission for the original audio. | |
