Where have I heard this Snog song sampled?

May 24, 2013 2:30 AM

Snog's "The Human Germ" has been sampled in another song that I know is in my library. Unfortunately, I can't figure out which one it is, and it's killing me. I believe a Morcheeba song might sample "The Human Germ," but, again, I've not been able to narrow down which song it is, if any. Please. Help.

Cool song! This isn't a sample, but I instantly thought of La Femme d'Argent by Air.

It's definitely a trip hop act that samples it -- the sample shows up in my trip hop Pandora station, but I can't recall who. I'll listen to that station a bit today and get back to you... I want to say it's Massive Attack (certainly not something on Mezzanine, though) or Portishead...

So apparently the track that I was thinking of was Amon Tobin's "At The End of the Day". Hearing it now, it's close but not quite.

The guitar at the beginning reminded me of "Teardrop" by Massive Attack, but it’s different.

Response by poster: It probably isn't Air, as I don't listen to a whole lot of their stuff. Not ruling them out, though, haha.

Massive Attack was my other guess, but I've been through all the songs of theirs that I have (many!), and none comes close.

I feel like I'm going to lose my last marble!

Response by poster: For those stuck with ear worms, I believe I figured it out.

Check out FC Kahuna's "Hayling".

EDIT: And, yes, I just updated six-month-old thread.

Holy crap, I can not believe I didn’t get that. I’m not sure how much of a sample we’re actually hearing there though, but it definitely is the thing I was trying to think of.
