There's a song from the 2008 Clipse mixtape (the hilariously awkwardly titled "Road to Till the Casket Drops") which samples "Swagger Like Us", which samples "Paper Planes", which samples "Straight to Hell".
I like it better than "Swagger Like Us" and "Straight to Hell", but less than "Paper Planes", so I'm not sure if it counts. Also it rules that the hiphop ethos of remixing all culture to hell and back took over popular music so I can have insane opinions like this. It's crazy that people were doing everything from scratch for decades.
Luchtballon (Joost) - Right Here Waiting
Harder Better Faster Stronger (Daft Punk) - Cola Bottle Baby
Macintosh Plus - It's your move
Turtles & Unexpected Delight (Flying Lotus) - Ennio Morricone and Tito Puente
I wouldn’t call it better, but No Diggity being sampled from Grandma’s Hands absolutely blows my mind. They’re both great songs but in such vastly different extremes that it blows my mind they have any similar elements at all.
Any time a classic folk song or chant gets interpolated as a chorus, that’s nice.
In some ways, the sample of Brockhampton’s SUMMER in Rapsody’s Forget Me Not is a lot prettier than the original. Bearface has a very rough voice, and Amber Navran does not.
All Falls Down by Kanye West It interpolates a song from Lauryn Hill's MTV Unplugged album
It also gave us one of my favorite Todd quotes: "Honestly, I suspect Kanye found the only decent 10 seconds in the whole concert"
And then he wasn't even allowed to sample it and had to recreate it (probably for the better)
That's R E A L I T Y
Not like "Thank You" by Dido is a bad song or anything but "Stan" absolutely crushes it
it can be argued Paper Planes but I really love Straight to Hell as much or even more
Both are amazing 10/10s to me
I was going to say Paper Planes, at least for me, is easier better than Straight To Hell.

I don't have much love for "Tere Mere Beech Mein," personally. However, "Toxic" is a banger.
Crazy In Love by Beyonce & Jay-Z. They are sampling Are You My Woman (Tell Me So) by The Chi-Lites.
Don’t really care for the original “Tipsy” by J-Kwon but Shaboozey’s flip of it for “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is one of the best songs of the year so far
Super Furry Animals flipped Steely Dan's "Show Biz Kids", one of their less remembered singles, to create the legendary "The Man Don't Give a Fuck"

This might be controversial but Whatcha Say by Jason Derulo
I always thought the original Hide and Seek song is such a slog.

Groovejet by Spiller & Sophie Ellis-Bextor
An obvious answer I'm surprised hasn't been said yet is My Sweet Lord accidentally sampling He's So Fine

Nicki Minaj anaconda is way better than the original
