evenslimmersladey Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Here is a teaser for you all. Any songs out there that start with both music and vocals at the same time. The only stipulation is that the song has to be a single release. The only one that I can think of is, Pulling mussels from a shell by Squeeze. Thinking hats on everyone.
bazooka Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 This came immediately to mind Wait -- The Beatles [smaller] But, whoops, don't think it was ever 'a single release'. [/smaller]
Farin Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Bored Teenagers ~ The Adverts it's not exactly on the same measure though
bazooka Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Equal time for The Stones. Dear Doctor -- The Rolling Stones [smaller]But, again, not a single. [/smaller]
Farin Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 [smaller] But, whoops, don't think it was ever 'a single release'. [/smaller] yeah, that makes the request a bit harder for me too
Viaene Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 A bit? I can't find any so far! Right on time - RHCP, but that wasn't a single I think? (wikipedia is down :s )
cyberjudge Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 This came immediately to mind Wait -- The Beatles [smaller] But, whoops, don't think it was ever 'a single release'. [/smaller] But this one was: Help-The Beatles
bazooka Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Lies -- The Knickerbockers Damned close to "at the same time". And definitely a single ([smaller] Their one hit, as far as I know[/smaller]).
bazooka Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Eureka! Somebody To Love -- Jefferson Airplane
Farin Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Eureka! Somebody To Love -- Jefferson Airplane one could argue that the "when the" is before the music good one
LeeBB Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Ummm, Pulling Mussels has the instruments one beat before the singing ;-) Some Beatles singles where they Come Together: Help Hello Goodbye One where the instruments are just ONE beat ahead of the vocals: We Can Work It Out And here are a squillion where the vocals come ahead of the instruments: From Me To You (only one beat ahead) All My Loving (two beats?) It Won't Be Long (not a single, but should have been) Can't Buy Me Love Nowhere Man Yellow Submarine (only one beat) Penny Lane (one beat) Hey Jude (one beat) The Long and Winding Road SO those simultaneous ones are very rare, but one beat difference happens quite a lot. Interesting question. LBBB Edited December 30, 2008 by Guest

Realtor Randy Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Walk On the Ocean = Toad the Wet Sprocket Another Brick in the Wall part 2 Pink Floyd
LeeBB Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Another Brick in the Wall part 2 Pink Floyd Hi Randy, doesn't the Floyd song have several bars of instrumental intro before the vocals start? LBB
evenslimmersladey Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Posted December 31, 2008 Thought it might be quite a teaser. Am gonna have to listen to some of your faaantastic suggestions. This all came about from an old Danny Baker radio show (sometime uk broadcaster)who swore blind that the Squeeze track was the only 45 that fits the bill. Happy New Year to you all.
Viaene Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Hi Randy, doesn't the Floyd song have several bars of instrumental intro before the vocals start? LBB The single of it starts with the happiest days of our lives followed by another brick in the wall pt2, On "the happiest days of our lives": even if you ignore the helicopter in the first parts, there's still a few loose beats before the singing. BUT the melody/bassline starts with the vocals On "another brick in the wall" voice and music start quite on the same time.
LeeBB Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 And here's a little Australian classic: You Got Nothing I Want - Cold Chisel Now that should rock your socks off... LBB
LeeBB Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Here's a nice one... Take This Town - XTC I'm enjoying this question... a good one to ponder while getting to sleep. LBB
c_s_1987 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 And here's a little Australian classic: You Got Nothing I Want - Cold Chisel Now that should rock your socks off... LBB - I didn't think of that one! However, I did think of another Australian classic, but after listening again, I noticed that the first guitar chord is a beat ahead of "Hello there Sailor". Women In Uniform - Skyhooks (1978)
c_s_1987 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Oh, and of course, You Got Nothing I Want isn't the only Cold Chisel song that fits - Bow River does too ( ). Though, sadly, there is still no video on YouTube that has the studio version of Bow River. Perhaps I should make it my job to fix that... I'll have to find out how to make videos from audio and image files though. Actually, Bow River wasn't a single, so that doesn't fit either. Edited January 2, 2009 by Guest
LeeBB Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) (Yes, but what about Bow River?) EDIT: Hey... simultaneous post!! Not a single? Are you sure? I've been thinking hard about this, and it's actually very rare for the instruments and singing to be simultaneous. Plenty of examples where one is a beat ahead of the other (like "Pulling Mussels From The Shell"). I'm putting some candidates here: http://view.playlist.com/14437973003 LBB Edited January 2, 2009 by Guest
LeeBB Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) And here is something uniquely Australian: Howzat! - Sherbet Not to forget: Child's Play - Sherbet LBB Edited January 2, 2009 by Guest
