Samples

One particular line in the song, "I've got the power!" became particularly prominent in the mainstream when it was sampled (without permission) by the hip hop/dance group, Snap! on their smash hit, "The Power".

In 1991, Moby sampled the "yeah" vocal of the song for his hit single "Go".

In addition, two lines from the song, "Why waste your time, you know you're gonna be mine" and "I'm gonna get you, baby (I'm gonna get you, yes I am)" were resung by UK soul singer Angie Brown to create the 1993 hit "I'm Gonna Get You" by Bizarre Inc, which was a number-one dance hit that year, and was frequently played on dance radio through the 1990s.
