Another Clash sampling delight, possibly the pick of the bunch, is M.I.A.'s masterpiece Paper Planes. Producer Diplo sampled Mick Jones' guitars from Straight To Hell, bent them about a little and allowed M.I.A. to do her thing. The gunshots and cash registers on the chorus are perfect and the song is a blast from start to finish.
The DFA remix is alright too.

This is the song that got me to take M.I.A. seriously and it's serious stuff!
I must admit, I don't know anything other than this by M.I.A. Genius use of a sample.
Definitely the best use of a Clash sample but I think that Deee-Lite's sample of Armagideon Time on Apple Juice Kissing is pretty good.
