Sampling in music

I'm a big fan of electronic and hip hop music. Both types of music use heavy amounts of sampling from previous generations of songs. While some samples are easy to pick up, some are much harder to find.

Here's a good example of one. Daft Punk's One More Time uses a very very short sample for the main loop.

A person on YouTube posted what he found when slightly changing the pitch and speed of a sample.



Another from Daft Punk and their samples. This one is a big more songs included.



Then a short one from hip hop. The Juice Crew with the Symphony.



Then the sample they used.



It's pretty interesting to find the samples they used, and how sometimes it's almost left along and in other cases chopped up.
