Joining him in the pulpit is a cleverly crafted organ passage that switches to reflect the more optimistic tone, and, as we head towards the main body of the song, the distinctive sound of the Linn LM-1 drum machine and that unmistakable crunchy guitar riff.

It's always an excellent service with brilliant products at a very competitive price - will use again! We've taken the intros to some of Britain's best-loved TV shows from the past few decades, see if you can remember the programmes they belonged to... Is there any finer statement of intent within music than that at the opening of NWA’s 1988 gangsta rap masterpiece Straight Outta Compton? Longing, loss, heartbreak and a raging hard-on - somehow, Peter Green manages to transmit all that in one glorious guitar intro. A fine example of an intro that doesn't bear any relation to the rest of the song, Let's Go Crazy's opening minute places Prince as a preacher, not altogether making sense but contrasting the struggles of life with the joy of something else: the afterlife.It’s a great intro because of the anticipation it brings of what is to come for the remainder of the number. While we're waiting for the future, here are a selection of songs with killer intros as suggested by colleagues working for the British Council in our offices around the world. Which of these start you up? Jean-Jacques Burnel, bass player for the Stranglers, has always been a bit of a hero and this super-fast shred down the bass instantly sets the scene for something special to follow – classic intro to a classic song.

Brian Jones’ gospel-infused, distinctive blues guitar lines that introduce The Rolling Stones’ Time Is On My Side melted millions of hearts in the UK in 1965. Oddly enough, American audiences got the song first, in 1964, but without the guitar part.We're talking about intros that don't just encourage but compel you to keep listening, either because they build anticipation and lead into something great, or they're just so damn hooky that, even if you did turn them off, they'd still be in your head two days later.

This is the moment that Neil Young stepped out from the shadow of Buffalo Springfield and became the Neil Young that we know today.

The Edge releases three echo-treated harmonic blasts into the sky and lets them sing. In response, Larry Mullen Jr lurches into a stately drum roll, while Adam Clayton holds down the fort with booming bass notes. I have been listening to this song since 1972 and it never ceases to get me up on my feet with my air guitar! A very, very memorable riff to start that builds up to a full throated heavy metal number. Superb! We brought 2017 to a close with a playlist of our favourite short songs. Now 2018 is stretching itself awake, there are two things we can be sure of: the days are getting longer and it’s time for a brand new playlist to get us off to a flying start!The United Kingdom's international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities.

Urge your guests to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane and remember music hits over four decades. It may even reveal the musical tastes of your friends too! A masterclass in instrumental arrangement, producer Norman Whitfield pretty much defined the psychedelic soul sound with this monster intro. Three notes. That's all it takes to know that you're about to be treated to Marvin's most lustful five minutes. Some great song intros are long and complex, but in this case, a simple, blink-and-you'll-miss-it wah guitar motif is all that's required.
