12 Songs You Didn’t Know Were Sampled

There was so much buzz at the release of Look What You Made Me Do due to the fact that it was seen as a return to the music scene by Swift. However, amidst all of this “buzz” you may have missed that the way the lines in the song’s hook “ooh, look what you made me do” are sung almost identically to the way to “I’m too sexy for my shirt” is sung by Right Said Fred.

In addition to this, the melody is also sampled at the same time.

Richard and Fred Fairbrass from Right Said Fred were contacted about this sampling only one week before the release of the single. Giving the “go-ahead” without even knowing who the artist in question was. Only finding out after the song’s release. The brothers now have a writing credit for the song.
