GAAHHH, WHAT SONG IS THIS?

This techno song by "Robyn" samples a very familiar song at 2:00 that I just. can't. place.

Honestly, for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the song that is "sampled" at 2:00

When I'm listening to music to enjoy music I listen to Fleetwood Mac, Porcupine Tree, Blackfield, Faith No More, etc...
when I'm studying, I listen to shitty "House" music. Don't know why.

Now quit being such hipsters, and help me figure out which classical song it is.

Heh, that's true, KT.

The one I'm thinking of is classical music, though.

Not the strings, man, I'm talking about the synthesizer that pops in at 2:00.

um... I'm pretty sure Hotel California doesn't have synth part

fuck it I just listened to that shit and it didn't sound like Hotel California at all

I could see how you may be getting it confused with Fur Elise by Beethoven

also that is just a random arpeggio not a sample of anything you fail
12-10-2010, 06:35 AM
Mr. E

I mean, technically every arpeggio exists in one piece of classical music or another. It could be a sample of something.

I can't be arsed to listen to it though.
12-10-2010, 07:30 AM

i mean it is literally a 1 second sequence where the notes travel up the scale in rapid succession then down a bit and then back up

Is not an arpeggio. I guess it is supposed to sound like an organ concerto or something. Really horrific song.

its a sped up version of the synth at the end of ABBA's "lay all your love on me". That or nothing.

Sounds quite familiar to me, as well. Reminds me of Aerodynamic by Daft Punk. But that's probably not it.

It's basically the opening to the fugal part of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor...

It's just alternating with the 5th going down a note each time. It's nothing complicated at all.

This helps you visualize what I mean if you're not musically literate. Start at 2 min 50 s (I don't remember how to set that as the starting time).

(It's now thought that this work was a somewhat altered transcription made in the late 18th century of a Bach violin work, because of the characteristics that make it seem more like a Bach piece for strings and because of some the elements are seem like they are 18th century. If it is, the original violin work has been lost, though attempts to reconstruct it have been made.)

BTW I dislike Robyn, and you should feel shame for liking her.

And IT'S NOT A SONG--THERE ARE NO FUCKING WORDS.
