I have a request! I think it’d be really cool to see a breakdown that shows how one song has been sampled in different ways. (I can't think of a good example, but there's probably a James Brown song that would work well)

Phoenix is a super underrated band, they have so many good songs

[Lemoygarys]

I didn’t know this was a sample, incredible find!!!

[RicoTropico]

This band is part of French Touch. Laurent Brancowitz is close friend of Daft Punk (and former musican of Darlin' band) Lots of Phoenix tracks were mixed by Zdar (RIP) 🙏 ;)

[paterpillar]

The fact that I had never considered this song had a single sample is mind blowing. Just start revealing more songs that are actually samples

[justgidz]

Such an underrated song. Sounds like it came out yesterday but it's 20 years old!!

[tafadzwagonera]

I've never clicked a notification so fast. Been waiting patiently for this one.

[iHaveBeenRustled]

this is so crazy, cause i sampled "If i ever feel better" myself, never knew it was made from a sample itself

[an.esc_]

This song is timeless to me, still super underrated to this day

[lingoscott]

One of my favourite tracks. Didn't realise it came from a sample 💫

[eliseants]

This gives me chills every time… that sample is by far my favorite I’ve heard from them :’)

[scar]

I'm completely mindblown. Didn't even think this was a sample and I've loved this song since I first heard it as a teen

[RGS_]

Excellent. I would really love to see some more Daft Punk breakdowns, maybe “High Fidelity” next?

[ABJWiseAndStrong]

I Love this song even more now!!! Salute to Phoenix, 1901 is so fire

[ReinKayomi]

Holy shit, I heard this song on Under The Covers 3, straight outta Radio Soulwax

[lilac.]

I had no idea this song used a sample!
What a great sample choice too👀

[frfra]

I didn't know that was a sample! :0

[ncjmayo]

Just got hit with nostalgia for those free iTunes downloads

[Ayala]

You should listen to the Todd Edwards remix of this song. It's interesting, since it has a lot of samples, *a lot...*

One of my favourite channels, love the effort you put into every video, keep it up!
