Every TV Girl Sample (Or at Least the Ones I Could Find)
TV Girl EP
Released October 21, 2010
1. On Land We're off to a rough start I couldn't find the sample.
2. It's Not Something Sample: Please Be My Boyfriend – The Shirelles
3. I Don't Care
4. If You Want It (You Got It) (It's supposedly from this EP) It samples the song Hello It's Me by Todd Rundgren.
TV Girl/Dirty Gold Split Digital 7
Released March 31, 2011
1. Overboard (Dirty Gold Cover) The title says it all—this is TV Girl's cover of a Dirty Gold song.
2. On Land (TV Girl Cover) Just like the previous track, this is a cover as well, but this time it's Dirty Gold covering TV Girl.
Benny and the Jetts
Released July 25, 2011
1. Benny and the Jetts Samples: This song appears to contain two samples:
Sign on the Window – Bob Dylan
I Walk on Gilded Splinters – Johnny Jenkins (drum loop)
2. Baby You Were There It samples Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear to Tread). The music video was directed by Justin Smith.
3. Lizzy Come Back to Life It samples Garden of Alas by Lizzy Mercier Descloux.
4. Your Own Religion Sample: Yama Yama – Yamasuki (1971). It's basically the song's intro.
Girls like me
Released September 26, 2011
1. Girls Like Me Sample: Hungry Heart – Bruce Springsteen
2. Sarah (Meet Me in the Sauna) According to Genius, the song is reminiscent of Bonnie Hayes and the Wild Combo's 1982 song of the same name, Sarah. The original Bonnie Hayes track was also featured prominently in the 1983 romantic comedy Valley Girl.
However, I'm not entirely sure which specific part of the song, if any, was actually used as a sample.
The Wild, The Innocent,The TV Shuffle
Released May 4, 2012
1. Keep Me Distracted Sample: I couldn't find anything in the YouTube comments, but I found a Reddit post claiming the sample comes from the 1954 film Habit Patterns.
2. I Wonder Who She's Kissing Now Sample: This Love – The Joy-Tones
3. Misery Samples: According to Reddit, this song appears to use three samples:I Can't Stay Mad at You – Skeeter Davis
Gonna Get Along Without You Now – Skeeter Davis
I've Told Every Little Star – either Kim Davey or Linda Scott
4. It Evaporates Samples:
Donna – Ritchie Valens
Lovesong for a Deadman
5. Mirror Mirror At 1:32, the lyrics say, "Money came with ease; it's like they had a disease..." This line is sampled from Children's Story by Slick Rick at 0:47. The song also contains a sample of La Di Da Di by Doug E. Fresh & MC Ricky D.
6. Loneliness Can Be Demanding Sample: Catch Me I'm Falling – Real Life
7. Flip the Record! While searching through YouTube comments, I found a funny comment claiming the song samples something from Sesame Street. I can't confirm whether that's true, and I couldn't find any other evidence.
8. Loud and Clear Samples:
For What It's Worth – Buffalo Springfield
I Know You Got Soul (1987) – Eric B. & Rakim
9. TV in the Bedroom It samples I Left a Woman Waiting by Leonard Cohen and possibly the piano from Cotton Candy.
10. On the Fence It samples Anna (Go to Him) by The Beatles.
11. Sweaters Sample: You Know I'm No Good – Amy Winehouse
12. Jane's Critique Judging by the audio, this doesn't really count as a song or a sample—it's simply a recording of Brad's mother speaking.
13. The Artist I couldn't find the sample.
14. Keep Me Distracted Pt. II I couldn't find the sample either.
15. All a Dream Sample: Angry Young Man – Billy Joel
Diet-Coke
Released May 23, 2012
1. Diet-Coke Unfortunately, I couldn't find any sample for this track either.
Blurry Girls (Demos, Unreleased Songs, and Other Ephemera)
Released June 21, 2012
1. Don't Say No Sample: I couldn't find a confirmed sample. An AI claimed the song samples The Girl Can't Help It by Little Richard, but since it came from an AI-generated answer, I seriously doubt it's accurate.
This track was originally intended to appear on the Benny and the Jetts EP, though there's no confirmed reason why it was ultimately removed.
2. I'm Someone Else Samples:
Rose Petals, Incense and a Kitten – The Association
Think (About It) – Lyn Collins
3. Mary Moffett (Demo) Samples:
A Happy Dub – Tommy McCook & The Aggrovators
Possibly Ring of Fire – Johnny Cash
4. Diet-Coke This track has already been covered.
5. Jayney and Johnny I couldn't find the sample.
6. Overboard (Dirty Gold Cover) This track has already been covered.
7. I'll Kill Myself I couldn't find the sample either.
Which is a shame, because I really love this song.
8. Theme From the Unreleased Film Sayulita (Demo) I couldn't find the sample either. My luck just keeps getting worse.
9. Low Signal I couldn't find the sample.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
10. Girls Like Me (Demo) This track has already been covered.
11. Museum (Pre-TV Girl) I couldn't find the sample, but I did find out that this song originally belonged to another band the members were in called The Movers and the Shakers.
12. If You Want It (Alternate Version Demo) This track has already been covered.
13. Easier to Cry (Acoustic Video Edit) I couldn't find the sample.
Average Guy (Blame)
released April 19, 2013
1. Average Guy (Blame) Average Guy (Blame) by TV Girl and Monster Rally doesn't use an external sample in the traditional sense. Instead, it's built directly around Blame, a track from Monster Rally's album Beyond the Sea.

Heart and Soul – Floyd Cramer
Breakfast in America – Supertramp (I highly doubt this one.)
5. The Getaway It includes excerpts from the radio drama Dangerously Yours, specifically the episode "Masquerade" (starring Victor Jory and Gertrude Warner). It also samples Crooklyn (Crooklyn Soundtrack Version) and contains references to Blood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan.
The music video is basically a recreation of Carly Simon's Why music video. It's actually pretty funny—I highly recommend watching it.

Maddie Acid’s Purple Hearts Club Band
Madison Acid & TV Girl
Released February 27, 2018
I should clarify that this is specifically an album I don’t really tolerate. I’m not sure why, but it’s simply not one of my favorites. Madison’s voice is beautiful, but the rhythm and sounds aren’t really my thing. Because of this, I didn’t really take the time to verify whether the samples actually match the TV Girl songs. I have to admit I mostly just used whatever I found first on Reddit or WhoSampled. That said, I apologize if I mentioned any incorrect samples.
1. Cut Chop Break Burn According to a YouTube comment, this uses parts of the film I Spit on Your Grave, Acid Rain – Chance the Rapper, Ghetto Star – 2Pac, and Battery Acid – Lil B.

3. Make It Pop It uses fragments of Ms. 45 (1981) and Mama Said Knock You Out – LL Cool J

6. Sleeping with the Enemy I saw a YouTube comment saying this song doesn’t contain any samples. However, on Reddit I saw a user mentioning that at 0:27 there is a small “aaa” sound that lasts about a second and sounds exactly like the intro of Dream Sweet in Sea Major from the musical Miracle. Many comments disagreed and said they are not the same. I also saw another comment saying it sounds similar to Disco Lady by Johnnie Taylor. I’ll leave it up to interpretation.
