`A Small Fruit Song` by Al Stewart.

The song is just 2 minutes long and the intro takes up all but 25 seconds of it. Apart from being a pleasant little melody, it is worth sitting through the intro just to get to the ingenious punchline in the short lyric.

Oz,
Small Fruit Song is a great shout. I’ve got every fart, burp and squeak Al Stewart has ever done. I think he’s an outstanding songwriter.

Big log - Robert Plant.

Great vocals from Robert, but don’t know who provides the haunting guitar intro.

A lot of the best musicians out there are session musicians.
Thats why bands use them.

Indeed, I saw a programme on the history of Motown and virtually all their hits in the sixties and early seventies were recorded with their own in house session band,the Funk Brothers, providing backing for the vocalists. Didn’t just play what they were telt either, they’d come with ideas on how to get the best out of a song.

Another session band, who were for hire, were the Wrecking Crew based in Los Angeles. They did a lot off stuff on the Beach Boys classic album Pet Sounds. (I Know this as the Beeb did a series on classic albums..)

They also featured on loads of other recordings for many other artists, far too many to list here but you’d know most of them!

A couple of the band went on to have solo careers, Glen Campbell being one.

Always thought that this was pretty epic

As is this

Joker and the thief is quality all round Big T, but the intro is def one of the best 👌


Had to try and figure it out. Considering The intro sounds easy, it is really hard to keep right, especially when the drums kick in. Great tune though

https://youtu.be/kd_h4ku0z_a?si=ynimdp98w5vdasci

And a blatant excuse to try and get my views up on it 😁

I was thinking maybe one of the longest intros was David Bowie’s Sound and Vision.

Tea for one by led zepp has to be up there if we`re now talking about long intros.
I`m sure I read that there`s a song by dream theatre that has an intro over 7 mins long.
Mind you .... Dream theatre do like their long tracks 🤣
