madonna sample

[dr pop]

i read madonna is the second artist to be officially allowed to use an abba sample.Anybody know the first????

Although it wasn't a proper sample, Elvis Costello used the line "See that girl, watch that scene, digging the dancing queen" on his superb track When I Was Cruel. Benny & Bjorn get a credit on the track too.

It was the Fugees, on their 1996 single 'Rumble In The Jungle' - The Abba track was 'The Name of the Game'

What about Edelweiss 's - Bring me Edelweiss - I think thats what it was called which may have sampled or may be a copy of Abba's - SOS?!!! I have to admit that i bought it!!

Edelweiss did not have permission by ABBA to use the refrain to "S.O.S." on their hit single.
