Intros that immediately make you think of another song

The current arrangement of the Doctor Who theme tune always sounds to me like This Is Your Life when it starts up.

Jockice

The Bitterest Pill by The Jam. The Bagpuss theme tune.

Crabwalk

Whenever I hear 'Panic' by The Smiths, the theme tune to 'Jim'll Fix It' starts up in my head.

Jockice

Funky Cold Medina and Teenage Kicks. It's the drums.

Or "Love Is The Law" by the Seahorses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9jDtwa23mI

At first I thought you were insane, then see what you're getting at - the wah wah fills later on. I only wish studpuppet would come back and fill us in on which one it may be, I'm on fucking tenterhooks.

Excuse me? It's just the same blues rock riff transposed up from E(Harrison) to B(Seahorses). And the way the drums come in is almost identical, except a bar later in Harrison's song.

Billie Jean - Michael Jackson / Evil Eye - Franz Ferdinand

Malibu - Hole / Imitation Of Life - R.E.M.

Marie's The Name (His Latest Flame) - Elvis Presley / Rusholme Ruffians - The Smiths

Virtually every song on The Cure's Pornography.

I went for I Got A Feeling and Going For Gold because they're both just doing a simple chordal riff going up to Asus4 type variation and then back down again, same as what Harrison is doing in E and basically the same exact riff, that Seahorses intro is an entirely different riff, not chordal, more complicated and has a different sound therefore I didn't understand why you'd associate it with the Harrison intro except maybe the Wah Wah fills sounding like the pinched notes in Squires' tune.

Only studpuppet can put an end to this - WAS IT ANY ONE OF THESE??!

Isn't Going For Gold the same intro as Suspicious Minds?

Yes it's based on a similar progression but in a barred G, but Going For Gold is in A and using open chords and adds a D note to make it an Asus4, this is all tedious muso shit really but when you're just judging from the general sound yeah they sound similar.

No it doesn't. The one prior to the current one does. They took that bit out last year.

I'd always thought that the intro to Smokey Robinson's Being With You sounded just like Baker Street

Being with you

I'd convinced myself that Smokey Robinson was really skating on thin ice with it, but listening back to it now I think I'd overstated the case.

Oh. Was Moffat being haunted by Eamonn Andrews?

Funnily enough, I've had the same experience with The Walker Brothers' 'Death Of Romance' from the 'Nite Flights' album, but having just checked it out, I think I'm overstating the case here too.

Gemius Army

I've always thought that Goldfrapp's Number One sounded like the theme from Brookside. Might just be me though.

See also 'Life In A Day' by Simple Minds for tunes that sound like the beginning of the Brookside theme (or in this case, pre-dated).

There's an uncanny similarity with the intros of XTC's 'Senses Working Overtime' and Goitre Goatse Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know'.

Eels- Your Lucky Day In Hell
Abba - Money Money Money

Mr Banlon

Whenever I hear the intro to In A room by Dodgy, I think a song by The Who is gonna kick in.
When the start of No Surprises comes on the radio, I'm always disappointed when I realise it's only Radiohead, and not something actually good by Eels.

NoSleep

About two bars in and you hear the opening notes of Round Midnight, composed by Thelonious Monk about 5 years after this was recorded:

Some sort of tribute to Duke, I imagine. It's too close to be a coincidence.

momatt

The intro to "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" (1974) by Steely Dan sounds exactly like Horace Silver's "Song for My Father" (1965).  This is probably intentional though, a tribute rather than an accident.

wosl

Another knowing SD intro, which resulted in a bit of a fracas and eventually to Keith Jarrett's name being added to the composing credits of the former:

Steely Dan - Gaucho
Keith Jarrett/'European' Quartet - 'Long As You Know You're Living Yours




RenegadeScrew

An obvious one, but the fact that no-one seems to have mentioned it suggests it might just be me.

Stone Roses - I wanna be adored

Rolling Stones - Gimme shelter
