Intros round - blog style
Posted by spt on 26 September 2011 - 4:03pm.
OK this'll probably die on its arse but here goes. Is it possible to play the Buzzcocks intros round purely by writing out the sounds?
First one - what song this the intro to?:
Check check check
Awoo-oo awoo-oo awoo-oo awoo-oo awoo-oo awoo-oo
Tick tickada tick, tick tick-tick. Tick tickada tick, tick tick-tick
Dowowadadow dowowadadow dowowadadowdadowowow dowowadadowdadowowow dowowadadowdadowowow dowdow
Blauauau blauauau blauauau blauauau blauauau blauauau
Chank chank chank chank chank- chank chank
Squeeeeeee-ooooo....
Post answers/new intros for guessing below.
Cue tumbleweed.

Yes...dead on both buttocks!
Nice try though...
Uh...
Cannonball?
Damn you!
I got it too, but you were faster!
I've got the first one...
...it's the American edit of 'Money' by Pink Floyd...
David Bowie - Fashion
Must be.
Perhaps.
Trick question
These are Laurie Anderson lyrics.
Good crikey, Slotbadger's got it!
Cannonball by the Breeders. And here's how it should have sounded:
Erm I've got nowhere to go from here - HELP!!!
What about...
Boom-boom-boom PAH
Boom-boom-boom PAH
Der der der der der der der SKLIK der der der der der der der SKLIK
Be My Baby
That's my answer, not a request.
Too...
easy! Well done.
How about, topically
Danga-dang chakka-chak dang-dang
Danga-dang chakka-chak dang-dang
Danga-dang chakka-chak dang-dang
Danga…Whumpa Whumpa Whumpa
Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Too easy
again
Am I the only one thinking of Dick Emery?
"Diddley doo, diddley dah"
OK, how about this:
DANG - DANG - DANG - d'DA-dng
DA-DA-DA-DANG - DANG - d'DA-dng
Is it
Velouria?
No - faster than that.
And not unrelated to yours.
it's almost
Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin.
Ooh, get her!
"Almost" indeed. I'm hurt. But yes, Heartbreaker is what it is almost.
You're missing
the introductory DAAAANG at the start, and you're one DA short on the second line. These things matter.
Seek help.
Hows about
Duh Da Duh Da Duh Duh *pause*
Duh Da Duh Da Duh Duh *pause*
Whole Lotta Rosie?
or does that have an extra da at the end of each line?
Maybe an extra "da"
But Whole Lotta Rosie none the less
Smoke on the Water?
And of course
Blah blooperty bligh ya
It never gets old!
Make me laugh every time I hear it :)
I thought the first one...
...Was Blockbuster by the sweet.
I need to get out more.
And there's always...
der-der-der-dup-dup
der-der-der-der-der
da-der-der-der-dup-dup
der-der-der-der-der
da-der-der-der-dup-dup
der-der-der-der-der
Ooh ooh
"Jocky Wilson Said"
Correct...
...but docked half a point for spelling and use of old Dexy's joke.
Howsabout this one from the 70s?

Getting the right number of notes is much harder than it should be isn't it?
The very beginning goes
Dunggggggg... Nyaaaaaaaarrrr!

You Shook Me starts with guitar. This starts with drums. And isn't by AkkerDakker.
Oh I can hear this in my head now
but am let down by my inability to remember intros even when played out loud...
Anyone? Anyone?
Bueller?
Oh well.

No wonder I didn't get it.
They aren't 'der ders', they are 'dang dangs'!
Sheesh.
Just to be contrary...
... I'd say it's more of a "deng" - but I've not heard the remastered version yet.
One man's dang
is another man's der. Or something.

Speakeasy by Shed Seven, is it?
"AT THE LINK IT'S EASY"...
...foghorns Rick Witter, breaking the only remaining rule of licensing your songs to advertisers, to wit "Do not, under any circumstances, re-record the song to accommodate the name of the product advertised".
I'm fine with people selling their songs onto companies if it makes them a few quid, but changing the words? Fuckin' 'ell.
Sadly, I can't find a video of it. It's hilariously shit.
Oh Lord
I'd forgotten that. Now all I can think of is one of their other classics:
"She left me on Friiiii-daaaaaaay
and ruined my weeeeeeek-eeeeeeend..."
Saw them live once - they were pretty good, but thinking back, only had a limited range of songs. Happy days.
I think he excused himself
by claiming that he signed the contract in the pub after a few too many snakebites.
I agee with you - I was outraged at the time. But I can't help thinking if I was at the tail-end of an inevitably short indie career, I might do the same. Though obviously, with all the comeback tours, it's actually been a 20-odd year career.
Less outraged than sort of amusedly contemptuous.
I always thought Shed Seven were awful - it's just that this was such a spectacularly graceless and cack-handed move that it surprised even me.
Still, it's not as if it was Dylan butchering "Tangled Up In Blue" or anything. No-one's going to mourn "Speakeasy"!
Is it shed seven ?
Well, it certainly wasnt meant to be !
That was my take on ....
The intro to A day in the life.
How about this?
dring, dring, Dring Dring Dring DRING
Nar, na nana na, nana nar nar nana, nar nar,

(ITS NOT NAS EASY AS IT LOOKS IS IT !)
How to impress the Massive
If I was to PM one of my mates and tell them that I will put forward the intro to an impossibly obscure Desperate Bicycles B-side, then the mate (or even two of them) could respond immediately with the correct answer - leaving the rest of the Massive agog.
That's the only explanation I can offer as to how someone could possibly identify some of the more obscure ones here. It can't be superior musical knowledge, no way.
Never Mind The Subtitles
If you really want to try this, switch on the subtitles and see what utter lunacy lives in the world of 888.
