I love a clever use of a sample from a film or tv show in a song. Some of my favourites: the samples from The Prisoner in Colourbox's Just give 'em whisky, the Blade Runner and Clockwork Orange samples in Love Missile by Sigue Sigue Sputnik.
What are some of your favourites?

Cool Hand Luke in Civil War by Guns + Roses is probably the most unfathomable.

There's a great use of a movie sample halfway through the Bonnie 'Prince' Billy song 'Blood Embrace', no idea what the movie is though.
You have to be Joking - Autopsy of the devils brain by the flaming lips on the Hit to death in the future head is based around an orchestrated sample from the film brazil scored by Michael Kamen.

The Macarena sampling The Graduate.

According to Wikipedia the sample used in ''Blood Embrace'' is taken from the 1977 film Rolling Thunder (interestingly the screenplay was written by Paul Schrader).
Yes it is rolling thunder Check this out you can hear a little of the sample

Surprised no-one's mentioned Reservoir Dogs in Scooby Snacks by the Fun Lovin' Criminals. VERY LAME.
Although this one at the end of a Sage Francis track is Champagne.
Saint Etienne used to have cool little trainspotterly interludes between songs on their first few albums - particularly remember there was a bit from Michael Powell's Peeping Tom on So Tough.
What sage francis album is that on outie?
And I think at least two people mentioned scooby snacks.
There's that Chris Farley song that goes ''I feel great''
All the samples from Ghostface's Ironman, taken from ''The Education of Sonny Carson''.
''I put trademarks round your fucking eye!''
It's on one of his compilation albums. A collection of badly recorded bits and pieces. Some good stuff though.
is that a cover of the poison idea song? they used the same sample in a song of theirs called ''the badge'' from the feel the darkness lp, 1990. also a bunch of goodfellas samples in there too.
Yeah it's cover. A completely pointless one, 'cos the Poison Idea original absolutely destroys. Odd that Pantera sought to be so faithful right down to using the same Taxi Driver samples, but still managed to fuck things up by employing that fat drummer's awful clicky drum sound.

If They Move, Kill 'em was meant to have the appropriate bit from Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, but they couldn't get it cleared.
It's on the B-side of the 12''
