This classic tune by Al Green has been sampled numerous times! And when I say "numerous times", I mean at least a dozen I can think of. But who can name the most songs that have used these delightful bars?
Difficulty Level: Moderate. There are some very obvious ones, and some more obscure. Hint: pay attention to the drums and the melody.

Name That Sample - "Fallin' In Love"
Name That Sample is simple: I play the original song, you tell me who sampled it. Winner gets a day's supply of Cyber CapriSuns™. As always, no Googling! Google is for losers.
This obscure tune by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds has only been sampled once to my knowledge. If you've had your ears littered by commercial Power/Hot/Kiss radio, you should prolly be able to smiff this one out in your sleep. The guy who recently sampled this song is currently being sued for copyright infringement. It wouldn't be the first time this guy's been sued over this song this year alone. Maybe some originality wouldn't hurt, but hey, this is the cRap game we're talkin' about.
Difficulty Level: Eaaaaasy. I should probably be ashamed of this sorta cherrypicking.
Question: How dumb do you have to be to sample someone's song for a Top 10 hit, and not pay royalties TWICE?!?
