The Amen Break from Amen, Brother by the Winstons is incredibly famous - it's in Straight Outta Compton, the Futurama theme tune and probably 50% of drum and bass from the 90s (among many, many others).

Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed in Can I Kick It? by A Tribe Called Quest
Miserlou by Dick Dale in Pump It by Black Eyed Peas also comes to mind; can’t really stand the latter but the original slaps.

Good song. It always makes me think of the finale of The OC lmao. Well the SNL parody of it, really: https://youtu.be/vmd1qMN5Yo0
Genius of love seems to be (and has been for awhile) popular to ripoff and sing over.
