986 Words | 4 Pages

Overall, "La Di Da Di" has been sampled 549 times to date and is often recognized as the most sampled song ever. However, because the track has been sampled so often, the song has become a classic and is considered a hip hop masterpiece. Without all of the other artists sampling the song, it would have just been another ordinary song from two rap legends. So in this case, one could argue that sampling not only did other artists a justice, but it also did the creators of the original song

It was released on December 16th, 2008, and was the fourth studio album. Many fans thought it was just too out there. The band’s hopes were to make the album unique and memorable, and they succeeded, but not in a good way. There were so many extra things happening, that the actual melody was washed out, and the album only sold 149,000 copies on the first week of sales. This isn’t bad, but much less than the previous album, Infinity on High.

Crash Test Dummies Song Analysis

610 Words | 3 Pages

Quantitatively, the humming sample constitutes four seconds of the 4:03 minute-long Crash Test Dummies song. Even though, the sample constitutes less than 2% of the original song, a court is not likely to find, as a matter of law, a de minimis use without first looking at the qualitative importance of the sample to the song as whole, like the court in TufAmerica that refused to find a de minimis use based solely on the fact that the sample constituted a small portion (i.e., nine seconds of an 8:11 minute-long song) the original song. See TufAmerica, 968 F. Supp. 2d at 603. Indeed, in TufAmerica, the court noted that before rendering the use of the sample as de minimis, it had to look to the qualitative importance of the sample in relation to the original song.

The Song Analysis Of Control By Halsey

864 Words | 4 Pages

The song that I am going to analyze is “Control” by Halsey. The song is titled control because, the singer mentioned that she has bipolar disorder, and she feels the constant confusion and frustration of who is actually controlling her state of mind. In the song many things symbolize her state of mind, and how she sees it, which would be like a “deadly disease”. The important symbol that is used in this song is “I’m bigger than my body, I’m colder than this home”, meaning that she see’s herself as something that is better than what her body represents or shows, while the other part symbolizes how her other persona can be mean or cold to people. Simply maybe because sometimes she would feel confident, standing up to herself at times, but also when the other persona takes control, she becomes cold, filled with anxiety or maybe even depression and frustration.
