Title: The Doves / Bicycle Rider and other (title corrected) Post by: The Shift on May 29, 2011, 04:53:47 AM Someone posted a link recently to a track by The Killers which blatantly ripped off the Bicycle Rider theme from H&V… and now I cannae find it. Could someone post the name of The Killers track so I can search it out and have another listen?
A few years ago a female pop artist incorporated bits of the instrumental Pet Sounds… I've also forgotten the artist / song title but it had the line "Come on let me take you there…". And wasn't there a trance track by Air… … and a Good Vibes steal by Norman Cook? Blimey - anyone think of other obvious thefts? There could be a tribute album in it!

Quite like the Doves. Cheers for the link.

Even if it's a tribute, he still should get credited.

Title: Re: The Doves / Bicycle Rider and other (title corrected) Post by: Myk Luhv on May 29, 2011, 09:56:54 AM "Remember" by Air (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7umgkNX8NM) samples the drum intro from "Do It Again" to most excellent effect. Wilson/Love do not appear to get credited for that sample either, however.
Title: Re: The Doves / Bicycle Rider and other (title corrected) Post by: hypehat on May 29, 2011, 10:34:20 AM I never knew that! Can't believe that doesn't get sampled more, tbh....

He'll sue for Brian >:( Title: Re: The Doves / Bicycle Rider and other (title corrected) Post by: Jay on May 29, 2011, 06:54:22 PM Betty Boo, Let Me Take You There. What does that little guitar riff come from? It's right on the tip of my tongue and it's driving me crazy! ;Dhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yQFBoD8aQ8 Listen in at 2.12. Edit: Nevermind, I just realised it's from Pet Sounds. Title: Re: The Doves / Bicycle Rider and other (title corrected) Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on May 30, 2011, 05:20:30 PM I wonder if the Mynabirds are familiar with Dennis Wilson

Title: Re: The Doves / Bicycle Rider and other (title corrected) Post by: Boiled Egg on June 01, 2011, 08:55:39 AM there's a song on paul weller's first album that samples the 'caroline, no' percussion intro.
