He's Gonna Step on You Again

"He's Gonna Step On You Again" (aka "Step On") is a song co-written by Christos Demetriou and performed by John Kongos in 1971. It was cited in the Guinness Book of Records as being the first song to have used a sample, however, according to the sleeve note of the CD reissue of the Kongos album, it is actually a tape loop of African drumming, and the use of tape loops and instruments using prerecorded samples such as the Mellotron and Optigan were well established by this time. The song was featured on the soundtrack of the 2006 video game Test Drive Unlimited.
