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:
“And so we ask for peace for the gods of our fathers, for the gods of our native land. It is reasonable that whatever each of us worships is really to be considered one and the same. We gaze up at the same stars, the sky covers us all, the same universe compasses us. What does it matter what practical systems we adopt in our search for the truth. Not by one avenue only can we arrive at so tremendous a secret.”
—Quintus Aurelius Symmachus (A.D. c. 340–402)
“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)
