Before it was "Luxurious"(Gwen Stefani), before it was "Big Poppa" (Notorious B.I.G.), and a considerable amount of time after it was "Between The Sheets", the infamous Isley Brothers sample was used in A Tribe Called Quest's "Bonita Applebum (Hootie Mix)" from back in 1990. This song was actually in a way the inspiration for Biggie's "Big Poppa," as he had mentioned how he was gonna flip that Tribe song (in reference to the Hootie Mix).
"Between the Sheets" has actually been sampled at least 27 times since it's release in 1983, which serves as a testament to how good the song actually is. Da Brat's "Funkdafied," Common's "Breaker 1/9," Aaliyah's "Old School," and Jay-Z's "Ignorant Shit" round out the list of songs with the sample; all good songs in themselves, and the Isleys certainly had a hand in that.
Now, I'm not here to give a history lesson (unless you're one of those people that thought Gwen Stefani sampled Biggie), I'm just saying that the "Hootie Mix" of "Bonita Applebum" is pretty fuckin' fresh and maybe Miguel V. and the DJ should give it a chance.

And while we're back in the early 90's...
Peace... in the middle east.
