The Beatles didn't do it at quite the same speed. At a Ramones gig, the count-in was the only way to tell when one song had ended and the next one had started. |
|
| |
I like how Bruce Springsteen counts in the middle of a song better..... |
|
| |
This intro will add a whole new dimension to Lakme's "Flower Duet." |
|
| |
I remember a punk band from my college days called Th'Cigaretz, who would do the "one, two, three, four" count, but would start playing at about 3.2. |
|
| |
Heard on Prairie Home Companion radio show:
"One...
Two...
You know
what-to do.." |
|
| |
I'm sure there's a Jonathan Richman song where he counts higher than 4... It's bugging me now. |
|
| |
hippo, I think he did that on 'Roadrunner'. |
|
| |
Think, zippy . . . "A 0001, and a 0010 . . ." |

Dave Brubeck's take five is also in 5:4 time (but have
know idea how he count's it in). I once saw Winton
Marsalis do a gig at the Albert Hall in London, and he
got the whole audience clapping to a song in, get this, 7:5 time.
A bit like trying to pat your head and stroke your stomach at the same time....
And four those who were kids in the seventies:
"a one banana, two banana, three banana, four...." |
|
| |
P.S. I didn't know Bruce Springsteen could count to four |
|
| |
Use of the 1,2,3,4 intro often doubled the duration of the
song which followed. |
|
| |
My favourite intro-count has to be Iggy's (from the Stooges' Last Concert, I believe): |
|
| |
One! Two! Fuck you pricks! |
|
| |
Sifl and Olly have such an intro on most of there songs, and I always find it to be delightful...though I find them in general to be delightful. |

Taken to an extreme, this is Philip Glass' "Einstein on the Beach"... the main theme (which is repeated many many times) is the choir singing "1 2 3 4 / 1 2 3 4 5 6 / 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8", counting off the duration that each chord is held. |
|
| |
Uno! Dos! One two tres quatro! |
|
| |
It is Paul Desmond's Take 5, not Dave Brubeck's. |
|
| |
could be wrong but he played with Dave Brubeck
...... and yes you are right, he wrote it! |
|
| |
Kraftwerk, Numbers: OneTwoThreeFour! Eins Zwei Drei Vier Funf Sechs Sieben Acht, Eins Zwei Drei Vier Funf Sechs Sieben Acht... |
|
| |
And now, to round off the funeral, Mozart's requiem: a 1, a 2, a 3 and a 4......... |
