Covers and Parodies
The repeating sample of Melle Mel saying "Chaka Khan" has been parodied many times. In The Simpsons episode "Brake My Wife, Please", Homer Simpson calls out "Save me Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan!!!" as his car sinks into the ocean. In Eminem's song, "Bagpipes From Baghdad", from the album Relapse, he raps, "Shucka, shucka corn, shucka corn". The 1988 Morris Minor and the Majors song, "Stutter Rap (No Sleep Til Bedtime)", features the line, "He was gonna throw a bottle, he was gonna chuck a can".

Famous quotes containing the words covers and/or parodies:
“Wishing to get a better view than I had yet had of the ocean, which, we are told, covers more than two thirds of the globe, but of which a man who lives a few miles inland may never see any trace, more than of another world, I made a visit to Cape Cod.... But having come so fresh to the sea, I have got but little salted.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the wall above the urinal.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
