Toxic by Britney Spears
Britney Spears ' Toxic is an iconic club-banger and arguably one of the pop idol ' s best works . The most identifiable part of the song is the hauntingly high-pitched strings riff that was sampled directly from the Laxmikant-Pyarelal song Tere Mere Beech Mein . Composed for the film Ek Duuje Ke Liye , it was sung by legendary vocalists Lata Mangeshkar and S . P . Balasubramanyam . Laxmikant-Pyarelal ' s work also got featured on rapper Playboi Carti ' s Go2DaMoon that incorporated the duo ' s Soul of Bobby ( Theme ) from the film Bobby .

What ' s Happenin by Method Man feat Busta Rhymes

The sample taken is a psychedelic guitar riff by RD Burman .
Don ' t Phunk With My Heart By Black Eyed Peas
Black Eyed Peas ' dramatic track on a toxic relationship interpolates not just one but two vintage Indian songs . This includes and " Ae Naujawan Sab Kuchh Yahan and Yeh Mera Dil Pyaar Ka Diwana , both recorded by Asha Bhosle , composed by Kalyanji Anandji , and with lyrics written by Indeewar . While the former was from Apradh , the latter was from Amitabh Bachchan ' s Don . Interestingly , both were also action thrillers from the 70s . Black Eyed Peas alumnus Will . I . Am would also go on to sample AR Rahman ' s Urvasi Urvasi for his pop number It ' s My Birthday .
