Sampled: "Hot Pants—I'm Coming, Coming, I'm Coming"

Bobby Byrd dropped "Hot Pants—I'm Coming, Coming, I'm Coming" in the early '70s. The funk song's upbeat drums and perky horns were subsequently discovered as a fertile sample source and flipped into hip-hop tracks for Big Daddy Kane and Public Enemy. Its grooves also helped the Stone Roses score a Madchester anthem and powered the Spice Girls to breakthrough success.
