how about the movie Amadeus and techn9ne's "I'm a Playa"? here's the song:

I haven't seen that movie - it sounds like Tech N9ne sampled 'Rock Me Amadeus' by Falco, was that song from the original movie soundtrack?

it was "inspired" by the movie

Ok Thanks =) I'll leave that suggestion here in the comments - just because I'm not sure where the sample originated (from the movie/a movie song I can add.. but just from a song doesn't apply) I'm confused on this one!

Don't forget this monstrosity. The original song, Axel F, is better known as the Beverly Hills Cop theme.

Of course, how could I have forgot that one!
There's a dance track that uses the Axel F theme too.. I'll have to find that now aswell.
Thanks for the suggestion!
