    Does anybody know of any songs that sample the intro to this? Every time I play it i think it's a different song at the start and It's going to tear my mind apart if I can't find out which song is sampling it.

    "You mean it's NOT about me???" - Warren Beatty. (Vain to the end).

    Right back to the early seventies. Less technology but truly great music.
