Ever heard a song and thought, wait it's that other song? Well since hip hop came on the scene in the late 70's the chance that a portion of another song is being lifted are pretty darn good. In fact some song hooks are so catchy they have been used in thousands of other pop, rock and hip hop material. In this episode we visit some of the most heavily sampled songs in history as well as visit a few of our favorites.

Well before ELO and The Traveling Wilbury’s. Jeff would go on to co-produce Harrison’s Cloud Nine album.

Well before ELO and The Traveling Wilbury’s. Jeff would go on to co-produce Harrison’s Cloud Nine album.

October 10th 1968 - Jeff Lynne visits a Beatles recording session.

ELO leader Jeff Lynne recalled spending half an hour in Abbey Road Studios in London watching the Beatles work on their White Album in 1968, long before he got the opportunity to work with Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

Lynne – who’d been a fan of the Fab Four since “Please Please Me” – was a member of the Idle Race at the time, and they were at work on their self-titled LP in the same city. “A friend of our engineer phoned the studio to say he was working on a Beatles session at Abbey Road,” Lynne told Classic Rock in a recent interview. “He told us we could go down there to have a look if we wanted.

“Maybe it was only me who went in the end, but I saw Paul and Ringo in Studio 3, doing a piano and vocal. Then I got invited into Studio 2, where John [Lennon] and George were in the control room. Down below, in the actual studio, George Martin was hurling himself around this pedestal, conducting the string section for ‘Glass Onion.’”

He said he was “blown away” by the work in progress. “Nobody had heard it yet, but there I was in Abbey Road, actually listening to it being made," Lynne noted. "I stayed for maybe half an hour, then I thought it would be polite to leave, because you feel a bit of a dick in that company. So I went back to where the Idle Race were recording and, of course, it didn’t sound quite so good.”

Glass Onion:-
With the allotted time for finishing the album coming to a close, the needed session to record the string arrangement for “Glass Onion” happened on October 10th, 1968, in EMI Studio Two, starting at 7 pm. Eight musicians were brought in for the overdub on the song as well as on George Harrison's “Piggies.” An eerie orchestral score was recorded as an edit piece for the conclusion of “Glass Onion” which slowed in tempo as it progressed.

Remember when you were a kid and you could go out and buy a soundtrack to remember your favorite movie? In the days before home video and streaming that was our way to relive the movie experience, and those soundtracks did not disappoint. They were some of the best ways to get compilations for your parties without having to create a mix tape. What happened? Those multiplatinum soundtracks seem to have been replaced with prosaic orchestral themes. Unfortunately the truth comes down to money and problematic royalty laws. Join us for our newest episode 73 where we reminisce about some of their favorites and top ten selling movie soundtracks from the past. #thebodyguard #purplerain #dirtydancing #saturdaynightfever #moviesoundtrack https://www.buzzsprout.com/1900207/15336383

Okay I know we’ve all played the game where we ask ourselves “You're trapped on a desert island and you can only bring X". In this case we pick and justify our ten albums that we would listen to for the rest of our lives...or at least until we get off this damn island. We might even throw in a few songs we think should be thrown in the ocean and never heard from again. So sit right back and hear a tale, a tale of a fateful ego trip as Chuck and Cary explain their picks https://www.buzzsprout.com/1900207/14702727-desert-island-discs.mp3?download=true
