"[[On Fire (Lil Wayne song)|On Fire]]", the second single from rapper [[Lil Wayne]]'s seventh studio album ''[[Rebirth (Lil Wayne album)|Rebirth]]'', contains allusions from [[Amy Holland]]'s song "She's on Fire" and was inspired in its entirety by ''[[Scarface (1983 film)|Scarface]]''.<ref name="MTV.com.">[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1627696/20091204/lil_wayne.jhtml Lil Wayne's 'On Fire' Inspired By 'Scarface,' Producer Dre Says] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091207015803/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1627696/20091204/lil_wayne.jhtml |date=7 December 2009 }} – MTV</ref> "[[Push It (Rick Ross song)|Push It]]", the second single from rapper [[Rick Ross]]' debut album ''[[Port of Miami (album)|Port of Miami]]'', samples "[[Scarface (Push It to the Limit)]]" and the story of the video has a very similar theme to the film ''[[Scarface (1983 film)|Scarface]]''. It was produced by [[J. R. Rotem]].

His song "Tears" was sampled and used as the basis of the [[DJ Shadow]] song "Organ Donor" on his 1996 album ''[[Endtroducing.....]]''. Canadian [[Hip hop music|hip hop]] group [[Swollen Members]] sampled the song in "Fuel Injected" and "Meltdown". It also appears on the song "Tragedy" by [[RZA]]. The main melody and chord progression form the basis of "[[Queen of Denmark (album)|Marz]]" by folk musician [[John Grant (musician)|John Grant]] and "[[Cinema (The Cat Empire album)|Only Light]]" by Australian ska band [[the Cat Empire]]. Hip hop duo [[Mobb Deep]] used a sample from the song "Tony's Theme" in their song "[[G.O.D. Pt. III]]". His song "E=MC²" was sampled and used for [[J. Dilla]]'s song of the same title. One of his early compositions, "Doo-Bee-Doo-Bee-Doo" from 1969, was featured for many years in silent sketches on ''[[The Benny Hill Show]]'' as part of a medley that also included "[[Mah Nà Mah Nà]]", a 4/4 adaptation of [[Ludwig van Beethoven]]'s "Für Elise", and "[[Gimme Dat Ding (song)|Gimme Dat Ding]]".

The theme from ''Midnight Express'' was sampled by hip-hop duo [[OutKast]] for their song "Return of the Gangsta", and by hip-hop producer [[J Dilla]] for "Phantom of the Synths", a beat later used by [[MF Doom]] for "Gazzillion Ear" and by [[Jay Electronica]] for "Dimethyltryptamine".

"[[Chase (instrumental)|Chase]]" was used as the entrance theme music for the [[professional wrestling]] [[tag team]] [[The Midnight Express (professional wrestling)|the Midnight Express]] throughout the early 1980s as well as in a number of montage videos for [[NBC]]'s [[Major League Baseball]] coverage and [[CBS]]'s coverage of the [[NBA]]. [[Art Bell]] also frequently used the song as the main theme and bumper music for his late-night [[talk radio]] programs [[Coast to Coast AM]] and Midnight in the Desert.

Moroder's opening theme from the 1983 film ''[[Scarface (1983 film)|Scarface]]'' is sampled by [[Nas]] and [[Mobb Deep]] for the track "It's Mine". "Leopard Tree Dream" from ''Cat People'' is sampled by [[Cannibal Ox]] in the song "Iron Galaxy". "The Legend of Babel" theme from the ''Metropolis'' soundtrack was covered by [[DJ Dado]]. British electronica musician [[Little Boots]] covered "Love Kills", which was written in collaboration with [[Freddie Mercury]]. "Future Lovers", a song from American recording artist [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna's]] 2005 album ''[[Confessions on a Dance Floor]]'', has a bass line inspired by Donna Summer's Moroder-produced hit "[[I Feel Love]]". Furthermore, Madonna opened her 2006 [[Confessions Tour]] with a medley of "Future Lovers" and "[[I Feel Love]]". The version of "[[Live to Tell]]" that Madonna performed on The Confessions Tour heavily samples Moroder's song "Tears". [[Suns of Arqa]]'s album "Technomor" includes the track "Moroder Vibe" which contains elements of "[[I Feel Love]]". [[Underworld (band)|Underworld's]] 1999 album, ''[[Beaucoup Fish]]'', contains a song titled "[[King of Snake|Shudder/King of Snake]]", which contains an interpolation of the bass line from "[[I Feel Love]]".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/underworld-beaucoup-fish/|title=Underworld: Beaucoup Fish|website=Pitchfork.com|access-date=4 October 2020|archive-date=30 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200930184951/https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/underworld-beaucoup-fish/|url-status=live}}</ref>
