This weekend I saw the Canadian movie "Videodrome" from 1982, directed
by David Cronenburg, and recognised at least 3 samples.

The first sample: "Forgive me if I don't stay around to watch. I just
can't cope with freaky stuff..." found in the beginning of Skinny Puppy's
"Draining Faces" from Cleanse Fold and Manipulate.

The second sample: "See you in Pittsburgh..." including the exploding
sound at the very end of Cyberaktif's "Face to Face" from Tenebrae Vision.

The third sample: "You know me, and I sure know everyone of you..." (or
something like that) is so familiar to me, but I can't remember where
I've heard it. But since the first two apparently have been sampled by
cEvin Key, it's likely that the third one is it too.

Anyone that can tell me where I've heard the third sample?

Front 242. I think it's from a song off "Tyranny For You" but I'm
not sure.

I'm sure about 1.000 other people also post this, but just in case...

No, cEVIN kEY didn't have anything to do with this one...

It's used by Front 242 in the beginning of "Masterhit" (album version) and
several places (including a modulated version at the very end) of the Master-
Blaster version on the maxisingle of this song. Probably it's used in the
HypnoMix as well, but I'm not sure. The album in question is "Official
Version", recently re-released on CD through RRE in Europe and Epic in the US.

Your mystery sample is from the beginning of Masterhit by Front 242.

also, cEvin Key has sampled "what's in the box? that's your head in the
box. (and laughter)" from videodrome and use it in live skinny puppy
shows(well at least one that i have a tape of) and some cyberaktif song
off of tenebrea vision... and thanks to everyone in the universe who
posted the name of the 242 song, i REALLY wanted to read the answer 15000
times.

"You know me, and I sure know......." is used on Front242's "Masterhit".
I think it is in the very beginning...

By the way, have you heard Cat Rapes Dog?

There is another sample taken from Videodrome, which was placed in TWO
different songs, one by CYBERAKTIF and the other by Skinny Puppy.
It goes like "I'm gonna put your head... In this box... Put your head...
In the BOX!! [laughs]".

The cyberaktif song is from Tenebrae Vision, and the Skinny Puppy song is
from Back and Forth. Alas, I can't remember the song titles anymore.

Isn't it strange when you know the sample so well, and years later see the
movie it came from? It's like deja-vu only stronger...
