I'm almost certain I've heard the tune used in the title song from "how i got over" before (supposedly a song from the 80's). Can you guys tell me whether it's a cover song or even a sample?

Submit is as "Again" as well as the timing from the Youtube video. Its just a problem with another sample with the wrong name. I've already reported it. Once you're done submitting, hit the "report incorrect..." link on your submission and give them the link to the video for "Again". Let them know that the current video is for the song "Another Again" from the same album.

I can't add the "Doin' it Again" sample because everytime i type in the John Legend "Again" song name it assumes I mean "Another Again"
