Summer in the City

Hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck gettin' burned and gritty...

Yeah, odds are if you've been anywhere near a radio for the past month you've heard
this song about a hundred times, Three Dog Night with "Summer in the City"

Have you heard this one though? The Quincy Jones version?


You've heard that a few times yourself too, right?
Sure you have!

You've probably heard it sampled by LL Cool J, Black Moon, Peanut Butter Wolfand Mystikal

I can't take credit for all of those above, because the last two in that list I didn't actually know about so thanks to Obscuritee for that.

Of course I can't forget these guys:

"Passin' Me By" - Pharcyde.


And finally there's Nightmares on Wax who used the track several times for:
"Night's Introlude" - Nightmares on Wax

from the album Smokers Delight. NOW used it again, for the track "Nights Interlude", basically a remix of the previous track, on their album A Word of Science, and AGAIN for "Les Nuits" on the album Carboot Soul. I guess they really like that sample huh?

It also appears on the track "Exchange" on Massive Attack's Mezzanine album. The track actually appears twice on the album, with one version an instrumental, and then and the other with lyrics from reggae legend Horace Andy)
