November 15 is America Recycles Day, which raises awareness about the benefits of recycling and buying products made with recycled materials.

Let's take a musical twist on this topic for today's set of music and play songs that sample other songs, or lean heavily on another song's riff.

What songs do you want to hear for today's 9:30 Coffee Break that used recycled riffs?

Respond with your song ideas in the comments below, and when giving the suggestions, make sure to include both the new song, and the original sampled song.
