Songs featuring "line clichés"

[StageAhead]

This week I started a two-part series about songs that feature a so-called "line cliché".
The first parts includes these transcriptions:

Tom Petty - Into The Great Wide Open
Beatles - Dear Prudence
John Barry - James Bond Theme

Take a look:

Do you know any other songs featuring line clichés???

From a jazz point of view:

My Funny Valentine:

Cmin | Cminmaj7 | Cmin7 Cmin6 | (although I much prefer C min | G7 | Cmin7 | F7 | or the Miles Davis version Cmin | Ab7 G7 | Cmin7 | F7#11)


In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning:

Cmaj7 C7 |Fmaj7 Bb7 | for the first two bars, but could be rewritten as Cmaj7 C7 | C6 C+ |

[StageAhead]

Yes! My Funny Valentine can be played with this kind of "line cliché". It could be seen as a kind of reharmonising the chords by using the tool of line clichés.

I've just finished the second part of my little workshop on "line cliches".

This time it includes one of the most beautiful basslines I've ever heard by [b]Oteil Burbridge[/b] in the song "[b]Midnight In Harlem[/b]" by the [b]Tedeschi Trucks Band[/b]. Amazing!
