The Funk Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Do you ever hear the intro to [i]Harlem Shuffle[/i] and think you're about to get [i]Jump Around[/i] or vice versa? How about David Bowie's [i]Let's Dance[/i] and [i]Twist and Shout[/i]? Any others you can think of? Quote
Mykesbass Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Steve Miller Band [i]Rock 'n Me[/i] could get the punters guessing. Quote
Graham Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 I always get One Way Or Another and Teenage Kicks mixed up Quote
paul_5 Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Once I started sing "Taxman" over the Jam's "Start". Easily done m'lord... Quote
The Funk Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Hah, I once heard a drunk guy singing all the right words over a song - except they were to a completely different song. He didn't care - he was going to sing all the words as loudly as possible to convince everyone else he did have the right song. It was brilliant. He didn't stop until the next song started! Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Harmonica at start of Supertramp's 'School' and I'm always ready for 'take the long way home' Quote
super al Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 I think this relates to The Funk's 1st post, every time I hear the intro to 'son of a preacher man' I start singing 'hits from the bong' by cypress hill! Its a terrible thing to say but its the only time I'm disappointed to hear Dusty Springfield sing! Quote
interpol52 Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Oasis Don't Look Back in Anger and Imagine by John Lennon. Every time. Quote
Woodinblack Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Once the guitarist announced we were playing dani california, and the drummer kicked into the hard to handle beat - took me a couple of bars to work out how to come in on that! Quote
Hobbayne Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 [quote name='interpol52' timestamp='1438542917' post='2835343'] Oasis Don't Look Back in Anger and Imagine by John Lennon. Every time. [/quote] +1 Even the main tune is a copy of Norwegian Wood! Quote

Raymondo Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 I know it's a sample and a bit obvious but, I hate it when the lovely intro to Ventura highway comes on the radio and it ends up being bl**dy Janet Jackson and Someone to call my lover! Quote
Bassman Sam Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1438552321' post='2835440'] Whenever our guitarist plays the intro to A Little Less Conversation, the drummer and I sing Angel of Harlem over the top of it. It really annoys him and we just giggle like a pair of idiots. [/quote] Love it. Quote
Bilbo Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Not an intro but I learned a long time ago not to play a rhythm changes tune right after a 12-bar Jazz blues. Quote
tauzero Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 [quote name='interpol52' timestamp='1438542917' post='2835343'] Oasis Don't Look Back in Anger and Imagine by John Lennon. Every time. [/quote] Although the chord run that's a lift from "All the Young Dudes" is also confusing. Quote

JTUK Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 No..I'm very quick on the draw with intros for some reason. Pretty crap on lyrics but pretty hot on intros.. Quote
leftybassman392 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Played in a band once where the drummer could never play the intro to 'Jailhouse Rock'. screwed it up every single time. The poor lad used to get so wound up about it that in the end the rest of us took pity on him and took it out of the set. Happy days! Quote
Delberthot Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Myself and the guitarist have on occasion got the intros to Day Tripper and Pretty Woman mixed up with each other Quote
gjones Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Ahhhh.....it's T Rex's 'Get It On'. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaeLKhRnkhQ[/media] Edited August 4, 2015 by gjones Quote
paul_5 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Also that one where the drummer clicks and shouts "2, 3, 4". Nights like that are always good, particularly when depping. Seriously though, I once worked with a drummer who would [i]click[/i] "2, 3, 4", and the "1" was always silent, in his head to himself… threw everyone off a couple of times... Quote
The Funk Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Deviating slightly, when you catch the instrumental parts of The Dandy Warhols' [i]Bohemian Like You[/i], do you ever think I don't remember this bit in [i]Jumping Jack Flash[/i]? Quote
anaxcrosswords Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 In the early days of incorporating [b][i]You Can't Hurry Love [/i][/b]and [b][i]Valerie [/i][/b](Amy's version) into our set I had huge problems selecting the right rhythm for each, compounded by the fact that bass comes straight in for both.

interpol52 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Another example of classic Noel Gallagher songwriting. I don't know how he gets away with it, this one still catches me out now. http://youtu.be/AXGdbr2z4Tk Edited August 6, 2015 by interpol52 Quote
