before 'Two of Us'

"'I Dig a Pygmy' by Charles Hortrey and the Deaf Aids; Phase One, in which Doris gets her oats..."



as Homer Simpson said, 'I have no idea what it means, but it's brilliant!'
 
This will come from far-right field, and I doubt many will appreciate it, but...


"HELLO DARLIN' "

("...nice to see ya, it's been - a - looooong time!")

Written and recorded by Conway Twitty.

And another...

'Only the strong survive' recorded by Elvis Presley:
Its a goofy song mostly because of the intro! but i still like it.

"I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mamma had some great advice
So I thought Id put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin it"
 
Grace Slick at Woodstock:

"Alright friends you have seen the heavy groups; now you will see morning maniac music, believe me, yeah. It's a new dawn...Good morning people!"

or pretty close...
 
Audience member: Judas!

Dylan (to audience member): I don't believe you. You're a LIAR. (To band: ) Play it f#ckin' loud.

-Dylan's legendary remarks to an audience member (or, rather, entire audience) who'd felt he sold out by plugging in his guitar, before a blazing rendition of Like a Rolling Stone at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Good video of it here:

that intro is titled 'conditional discharge' on the 'it aint easy' album. (cd):music:

my favorite is the entire poem, 'late lament';

'...cold hearted orb that rules night...',

from 'days of future passed' album by the moody blues.
 
Steve Mariott's intro to "I don't need no doctor" from Live at the Filmore.

"We, uh, we go home on Monday. But, I wanna tell ya, we've all had a gas this time, it's really been a gas!"

How about the Intro to "Stonehenge" by Spinal Tap.
Gotta love it.

Oh, man, I love that. I've always thought a lot of that '70s spoken word before song stuff like that was really cheesy, and it was good to see it made fun of.
 
Aside from the 'funny' aspect, I really like the MUSIC on "The return of Spinal Tap" - I usually play my LD with the TV set off, just to enjoy the music.
(Should I just dub it to CD one day?)
