I really like the song “Build Me Up Buttercup” by The Foundations…it’s a bubbly, summery tune with catchy lyrics. A while back I heard a remix by a group called Rhymefest (featuring Ol’ Dirty Bastard) that uses the chorus off of that song as well as the melody, for their song “Build Me Up.” This is a perfect example of using pre-existing music/media to create something new while still retaining many elements of the original–same building blocks, different structure.
