Steve Miller Band’s ‘Abracadabra’ Sampled on New Eminem Track
Steve Miller Band likely got a decent payday thanks to the new single from rapper Eminem.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer released his new song “Houdini” today (May 31), and it features a sample from “Abracadabra” throughout as the backing track. Due to the NSFW lyrical content, you can listen to the song here.
Of course, “Abracadabra” was released by the Steve Miller Band in 1982 and is the title track of the band’s twelfth studio album. Written by Steve Miller, the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart and went to No. 1 in eight other countries, including Australia, Canada and Sweden.
“Abracadabra” is the Steve Miller Band’s third, and likely final, No. 1 hit following 1973’s “The Joker” and 1976’s “Rock’n Me.” However, there’s a good chance “Houdini” might top the Billboard Hot 100, but fans will have to wait and see about that.
