Useful logic in the end - it is indeed heard in the closing sequence of 'I am the Walrus'. Over to you sir!

Okay then, sticking with music:
While there are no well-defined statistics, which song is generally held to be the most sampled recording ever?

Would it be a James Brown toon ?
Papas Got A Brand New Bag perchance.

It is indeed the Godfather of Soul, but not that track.

Nope.
The track in question is, despite Mr Brown talking over it (mostly introducing the musicians) classed as an instrumental, and was released as a single in 1970. It wasn't released on an album until 1986 however, once it's fame as a hip-hop sample source was widely known.

Nope again.
The main part of the recording that is sampled is the drum break, which is known by the title of the song - In a similar fashion to the way the break from "Amen Brother" is known as the Amen break, and the break from "When the Levy Breaks" as the Levy Break.
The album it was eventually released on was "In the Jungle Groove," if you want to find a tracklisting and take a guess.

Crikey. That was short! It was also nothing to write home about - I was expecting something earth-shattering!
And I've still no idea of the answer!
