In keeping with my previous Summer post I'm going to drop another summer related track.
This time it's Kool and the Gang with "Summer Madness":
This has been sampled a lot, from Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince to Gangstarr, Digable Planets and even Miles Davis
on his final album, Doo Bop:
From the world of dance & electronica, house legend Dimitri from Paris used it in "Encore Un Terlude", other samplers include Jaziac Sunflowers, Belladonna and on a
drum'n'bass tip, Rude Boy Monty with Summa Sumpting
Last, but hardly least, is Autchere's "Lowride" from the classic Mo Wax Headz compilation:
There's zillions more, so feel free to jump in.

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)
