ReidOne 12,427 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 it may not get an official credit as a sample, but it's definitely "inspired" by Bennie and the Jets. If you know the Elton song, there's no escaping hearing it when you listen to "Hey Girl." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKANK 14,288 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I don't think it's a sample of Bennie and the Jets. It's just inspired by R&B from that era. This is a sample of Bennie and The Jets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReidOne 12,427 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Bennie and the Jets even opens with the lyric: "Hey kids, shake it loose together" ... Now Gaga gives us "Hey girl" shaking it together with Florence. OMG. YES, GAGA. YAASSSS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReidOne 12,427 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 3 minutes ago, symphonia said: Credited sample or reductive copy? She wouldn't go reductive on the father of her godchildren. This has certainly been blessed by Elton. Queen of serving songwriting royalties to her godchildren Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
