I hope Patrice Rushen got a lot of money for that song.

Men in Black sampled, "Forget Me Nots"... Gettin Jiggy Wit It sampled Sister Sledge's, "I Went Wild--He's the Greatest Dancer." nananananana-nananananana!

haha!

and yes--i hope they all got their fair share...

They also sampled, the “I Dream of Jeanie” theme for, “Girls Ain’t Nothin’ But Trouble.” I forgot he talked about drinking tequila in that song. Interesting, because, according to Wikipedia he was about 18 when that song came out.

i had forgotten about that song... very early DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince... it's funny because in that song he sounds a lot like rapper Gerardo (Rico Suave)... same sound, same pronunciation... must have been a late 80's early 90's style...

in Wild, Wild West he sampled "I Wish," by Stevie Wonder...

Oh yeah, I got the two reversed. I usually know the songs better that they are sampling.
