Episode 9 features songs from Tina Turner, Macklemore, and TLC.
The final track on Episode 8 was “Love On My Mind” by Freemasons feat. Amanda Wilson. A sample of the vocals of this song originate from the 1999 Tina Turner song “When the Heartache Is Over”.
“The Source” explores popular music with the aim to discover if it has been “borrowed” from other songs. The show will go back to the source of popular songs, and play the songs they have sampled from.
The song “Lose Control” hit number 7 in the Aus Music Charts.
It was released as the lead single from Elliott’s sixth studio album, “The Cookbook”. It contains samples from Hot Streak’s “Body Work” and Cybotron’s “Clear”.
Hot Streak’s “Body Work” was sampled 28 times including the Missy Song you just heard, and also Dimples D, Norman Cook, Alesso and get this – Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
New addition to the JOY music library – “Creepin'” by CID prominently samples the 1994 TLC hit “Creep”.
The lyrics of “Creep” portray the singers as women that cheat back at their lovers for the attention. This context was considered to be controversial at the time as it was strongly opposed by member Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, who even threatened to wear black tape over her mouth on its accompanying music video.
The music video to “Glory Box” by Portishead is set in the 1950s, featuring lead singer Beth Gibbons as a jazz singer at a club while various office workers watch her perform. Sexual tension begins to rise between certain characters, as eventually, all of the workers, as separate couples, attend the club where the vocalist is performing. Apart from the band members, the entire cast of the video appears in drag.
The song appeared in a Levi’s Jeans commercial.
The songs main instrumental was sampled for Alessia Cara’s 2015 song “Here.”
The same sample was also used in “Hell Is Around the Corner” by Tricky released in the same year as “Glory Box”.
The original sample comes from Isaac Hayes 1971 track “Ikes Rap II”
