One of the songs reviewed in this week's Stylus Singles Jukebox is a dancefloor raver called "Voodoo Child" that heavily interpolates "Pump It Up"'s riff.  Makes me appreciate the original all the more.  (And as I've probably mentioned here before, that song was improbably a favorite in the Allegheny College football team's locker room.)
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”
