Pieces of Songs

June 8th, 2004 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

“From the openings strains of Heart’s “Barracuda” to the end of The Doors’ “The End”, sometimes there are pieces of songs that are cooler than the song itself.” Okay but… Lionel Ritchie?! Your own favorite “piece of a song”?

    I’ve got a lot of favorite “song pieces”; the top of my list is probably the “Aaaaaah wham, bam, thank you ma’am” from ‘Suffragette City’ by David Bowie.
    Something about that phrase makes me crank the stereo up full blast…

    Hmmmm, difficult one, so many to choose from, the ice cream van sound at the beginning of “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” does it for me.

    Here’s one of my favorites: Steely Dan’s “Peg”, when that Doobie Brothers (?) singer goes: “Then the shutter falls
    - You see it all in 3-D”. The amount of chord changes in those 10 words is amazing.

    The best bit of Lionel Ritchie is when he stops.
