The_JAMs_-_The_Queen_and_I_(excerpt).ogg‎ (Ogg Vorbis sound file, length 33s, 127kbps)

33-second sample of "The Queen and I" by The JAMs. Contains elements of "Dancing Queen" by ABBA.
Written by The JAMs (Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty) and ABBA.
Source: 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?), The Sound of Mu(sic) JAMS LP1, 1987.

This excerpt serves to illustrate The JAMs' controversial track "The Queen and I", which sampled extensively and illegally from ABBA's "Dancing Queen", forcing the Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society to order The JAMs to withdraw and destroy all unsold copies of the album 1987, on which the track appeared. In this excerpt, portions of "Dancing Queen" are overlain with a rasping detuned synthesiser accompaniment, leading into Drummond's satirical and discontent rapping.

This is a sample from a copyrighted audio recording. It is believed that the use of this work qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law when used on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, where:

The sample is being used for commentary on the recording in question.
It contributes significantly to the encyclopedia articles it is used in (listed under the heading "File links" below) in a way that cannot be duplicated by other forms of media.
The sample is short in relation to the duration of the recorded track and is of an inferior quality to the original recording.
No other samples from the same track are used in Wikipedia.
There is no adequate free alternative available.

A more detailed fair use rationale may be provided by the user who uploaded this recording. Any other uses of this recording, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. If you are the copyright holder of this recording and you feel that its use here does not fall under "fair use" please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for information on how to proceed.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Fair use rationale This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion in the articles "1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?)" and "The KLF" is claimed as fair use because:

it illustrates educational articles that specifically discuss the song from which this sample was taken
it is a sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
it is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. --Vinoir 21:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
