Correction, the song "Flowers" by Moby was included in the 2000 "Gone in 60 seconds" soundtrack.

Also, from the comment below, it appears that Moby also included a song called "Honey" based on the African American game song "Sometimes" in his 1999 Cd "Play".

"A map to Moby's music using Play as your compass
...Honey - The vocals in Honey are from a song called "Sometimes", sung by Bessie Jones which can be found on a 4CD set named "Sounds of the South". The story behind these southern style vocals is quite long and I won't go into it here. However, "Flower" on the Gone in 60 seconds soundtrack, and also on the V2 records release of Play with added B Sides bonus disc (63881-27085-2) also uses similar vocals. You may also notice old vocals used in other songs on Play. Many of these can be found on that 4CD set mentioned above."
