There's a piano riff used in a couple songs I've heard over the years that I have no idea what it is or where it comes from and the songwriting credits don't list anything either but you can hear it in the intro of these songs:





I was tipped off I think when I heard it in a third song but I don't remember what song that was.

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I remember the third example!

It's the track that appears after Limp Bizkit's cover of Behind Blue Eyes (I listened to the song a few times when it was a single, shut up!).

It's here:

This is such an incredibly influential record. There were so many records that outright sampled or interpolated various elements, most notably the riff. It's so uplifting and energizing.

Meck & Dino Lenny had a hit with their "Feels Like Home" track in 2006 which used the signature riff and several other elements.



Madonna performed a version of "Like A Prayer" during her Sticky & Sweet Tour which used a bit of this as sample by Meck and Dino Lenny in 2006.



Meck released his own version of the Madonna mashup with a different vocalist as "Feels Like A Prayer"
