Episode 15 features songs from Lesley Gore, Selena Gomez, and Ultra Nate.
“The Source” explores popular music with the aim to discover if it has been “borrowed” from other songs. The show will go back to the source of popular songs, and play the songs they have sampled from.
Song Notes
Grace feat. G-Eazy / Leslie Gore
The song “You don’t own me” by Grace featuring rapper G-Eazy was released in 2015 one month after the original artist of this song passed away.
The original artist of course was Leslie Gore.
The song expresses a threatened emancipation, as the singer tells a lover that he does not own her, that he is not to tell her what to do or what to say, and that he is not to put her on display. The song’s lyrics became an inspiration for younger women and are sometimes cited as a factor in the second wave feminist movement. Gore said, “My take on the song was: I’m 17, what a wonderful thing, to stand up on a stage and shake your finger at people and sing you don’t own me.” In Gore’s obituary, The New York Times referred to “You Don’t Own Me” as “indelibly defiant”.
Double S, Wiley / Bonnie Anderson
That was “Get Paid” by Double S and Wiley and released this year.
This was a tip off song. Credit goes to JJ for this find.
While the origal writer of the song goes uncredited – the sample is undenyable.
The song is Blackout” by Bonnie Anderson.
Selena Gomez / Talking Heads
“Bad Liar” by Selena Gomez has been a hit this year.
She co-wrote the song with long-time collaborators Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter, and the producer, Ian Kirkpatrick. The track samples the bassline from Talking Heads’ 1977 single “Psycho Killer”, written by David Byrne, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, who are therefore credited.
