My friend was right: my daughter didn’t really seem to register most of the sex stuff, though she did audibly gasp when she thought I had showed my underwear. It’s stranger still-surreal, even-watching it with your child when she is much closer in age to that version of yourself than you are. It’s a strange experience, watching a younger, more innocent version of yourself onscreen. So I relented, thinking perhaps that it would make for a sweet if unconventional mother-daughter bonding moment. A writer-director friend assured me that kids tend to filter out what they don’t understand, and I figured that it would be better if I were there to answer the uncomfortable questions. But my daughter insisted that her friends had already seen it, and she said she didn’t want to watch it for the first time in front of other people. We recorded a conversation about it for the radio show “This American Life.” I’ll be the first to admit that ten is far too young for a viewing of “The Breakfast Club,” a movie about five high-school students who befriend one other during a Saturday detention session, with plenty of cursing, sex talk, and a now-famous scene of the students smoking pot. I don’t make a habit of revisiting films I’ve made, but this was not the first time I’d returned to this one: a few years back, I watched it with my daughter, who was ten at the time. For this edition, I participated in an interview about the movie, as did other people close to the production. Photograph from Universal Pictures / EverettĮarlier this year, the Criterion Collection, which is “dedicated to gathering the greatest films from around the world,” released a restored version of “ The Breakfast Club,” a film written and directed by John Hughes that I acted in, more than three decades ago. “Forward From Trini” (ft.It’s hard for me to understand how John Hughes (in glasses) was able to write with so much sensitivity, and also have such a glaring blind spot. Sample: “Never Leave You Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh” by Lumideeġ4. Interpolates: “I Just Wanna Rock” by Lil Uzi Vert Sample: “Move Your Feet” by Junior Senior Sample: “Fuck The Club Up” by Wacka Flocka Flame (Ft. Sample: “Notorious Thugs” by Notorious B.I.G. Sample: “When the Party’s Over” by Billie Eilish Still, as an executive at Primary Wave told Billboard last year about sampling: “if you’re starting off with a hit, that’s a great place to be.” See below for a breakdown of every sample and interpolation on Pink Friday 2. Ariana Grande‘s “7 Rings” famously had to cede 90% of its publishing to the owners of the Rodgers and Hammerstein catalog because the melody of “My Favorite Things” was such an essential part of “7 Rings.” Typically, the more integral the sample or interpolation is to the new song, the more leverage the sample or interpolation rights holders have. While there are great potential upsides to these samples and interpolations, there’s a catch: Minaj will have to share a sizable portion of her publishing and master ownership with the rights holders of those older songs. Even more catalog owners started creating playlists of their songs that are available to sample and pitch them out to songwriters and producers. Companies like Primary Wave began popularizing “flip camps” - songwriting camps dedicated to encouraging the use of their catalogs in newer songs. Legends like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen sold their catalogs for some of the highest prices in music history, and those steep price tags encouraged buyers to get creative to earn a return on their investments. Meanwhile, pop radio remained cautious about adding new songs into circulation, and recognizable samples became a good short-cut to an earworm hit.Īt the same time, the music catalog market grew red-hot. The app tends to favor songs that feature catchy, short sound bites and sampling is an easy way to catch users’ attention quickly. In 2020, amid COVID-19 lockdowns, millions of music fans flocked to TikTok, making it an important destination for music discovery. Sampling has been around since the advent of hip-hop, but this more recent influx seemed to take root at the turn of the decade due to a convergence of factors.
