Since part 1 of the song intro compilation was fun, and since I'm sick with a cold (and hence not riding), it's time to roll out part 2. Here's the drill: I collected the intros of all the songs I like and put them together in sequence. Here is part 2 with artists S through Y at just over 4 minutes in a 5 meg MP3:
Song Intros part 2
So, who's up to the challenge this time? List the artist and title of each song in the comments.
(OK, the name of the artist of the first song technically doesn't start with the letter S, but the second word of the title does - close enough).
And as if there was any question, Rio's Rider essentially named all the songs of part 1 - good job!
Oh, goody! Part two! Something to keep me busy tomorrow and help the time fly by. I'm glad you enjoy putting these together as much as I enjoy figuring them out.
ReplyDeleteI've almost got it. There's five songs I know that I know, but I can't place the names. I'll post my list when I've got them all.
ReplyDeleteAny hints for #3, 4, 5, 7 & 15 (which I know I would have if someone hadn't started singing "Smooth Operator" and now I can't think of anything else)?
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot of the songs I thought would be difficult. Let me try some hints:
ReplyDelete#3 - A bad thing that happens to long hair.
#4 & 5 - Artist initials S. D.
#7 - Same artist as #8.
#15 - In the 80's he won a Grammy.
Ok, this is as good as it's going to get before this post drops off the bottom of the page. I hope I've given everyone else plenty of time to post their answers, so here goes:
ReplyDelete1) Money for Nothing - Dire Straits
2) I'm Gonna Soak up the Sun - Sheryl Crow
3) Split Ends would work here, but...?
4) Hey Nineteen - Steely Dan
5) Something by Steely Dan
6) Rock this Town - Stray Cats
7) Something by Styx
8) Come Sail Away - Styx (Not the intro! This was mid-song. You sneaky bugger!)

10) Talk Talk - Talk Talk
11) Burning Down the House - Talking Heads
12) And She Was - Talking Heads
13) Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads
