Ah yes, the favorite trick of remixers, cover-ers, and samplers who want to go dark. The first example that comes to mind is Kriss Krosss megahit Jump from 1992 https://youtube/watch?v=010KyIQjkTk Its minor-key F#-C#-D bass ostinato is lifted (and then transposed via a sampler up by a half step) from The Jackson 5s I Want You Back https://youtube/watch?v=-T5xWkO56GI The original tune is in Ab, and passes through its familiar turnaround of F-C-Db-Ab-Bb-Eb-Ab at the end of phrases.? Kriss Kross (or more precisely, their producer Jermaine Dupri) took the first three notes of the turnaround, effectively creating a loop in the relative minor of the original song. In my own not-quite-rockstar days, I did a remix of a song by Alphaville (of Forever Young fame) in which I recast it in the relative minor.? Compare: the original https://youtube/watch?v=K0GVOCzEkS4 with the remix https://youtube/watch?v=Q_st4pLS7KY Youll also find tons and tons of mashups that take similar routes.? To offer just one, try pomDeters rather hilarious Carly Rae Jepsen / Nine Inch Nails combo Call Me a Hole, which recasts Trent Reznors E-minor chorus in a bright and shiny G major: https://youtube/watch?v=5Lm1FL7gWl4 Alex Reed
