12 Songs You Didn’t Know Were Sampled
3. Basement Jaxx's 'Where’s Your Head At' Sampled M.E. By Gary Numan
This is a perfect example of how 1970s synthwave influenced house and electronic rock of the early 2000s.
However, in this case it directly helped compose a song that broke into the top 10 of the UK singles charts of 2001.
The opening moments of M.E can be heard sampled throughout Where’s your Head At on repeat in the background.
Though this is not the only Gary Numan song sampled by Basement Jaxx in their song. “This Wreckage” is also sampled at the 2:51 mark of the Where’s Your Head At music video, where the composition of the song changes for a brief moment.
