Reply to comment by Outrageous-Door8924 in ELI5: [Law] What happens to music rights when music artists sell their music catalog? What about performing their songs at concerts? Future releases? by Outrageous-Door8924

Just heard this massive choon

That word "interpolation" is the trend to dress up old songs in new clothes. This sort of creative endeavour is the sort of thing the Hipgnosis guys are totally across extending the shelf life of their original artists works.

Interpolated into “Players” is “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, which was released in 1982 and proved to be one of the earliest hits in the history of rap music. Also acknowledged as being interpolated is “Nasty Boy”, a track Biggie Smalls dropped in 1997.

Interesting. I suppose that might explain the almost extreme abundance of cover versions of old hits, over the last few years, in the EDM community.

I can't remember where I heard it said, but someone says "If something makes no sense to you, look at the money flow, it will make sense then"
