Listen to famous MPI theme sampled by a couple of artists

#1 Post by Jean-Claude Fornier »

Hi all,

I was searching for them and I found them at last !

As mentioned here :
http://magnum-mania.com/Trivia/Trivia.html
Hip Hop artist Cam'ron sampled the iconic Magnum P.I. theme song in his 1998 single 357.

British Indian musician Panjabi MC sampled the iconic Magnum P.I. theme song on his 2003 single "Jatt Ho Giya Sharabee". The song was used in a Season 1 episode of the hit TV show Heroes ("Don't Look Back").
So here they are :

Cam'ron - 357

Liked the version by Panjabi MC. :)

Haven't ever been a big fan of Hip Hop, but the Ferrari was a nice suprise.

I don't know if Panjabi MC entered the Billboard, but in Europe, he had a very big hit named "Mundian to Bach Ke" which includes a sample of "Knight Rider" main theme !

That's good stuff Jean Claude. Thanks!

Came across a cool live cover of the Magnum P.I. theme song recently. It's from a band called Ha Ha the Moose, a side project of three members of the jam band moe., at Sullivan Hall in New York City (2008). The theme song was a regular part of their set in this tour...

I like it!
