The recent Queen- Don't stop me now debate got me thinking of other tracks where we miss out the first 30 seconds or so.

Here's a couple more

Marey carey- All I want for Christmas is you
Darube - Sandstorm

Plenty of others?

I actually play both the intros on these tracks sometimes. It depends what im using the track for.

Take last night for example. I used Maria Careys - All I Want For Xmas as the start track. The start is excellent to talk over, which is what i did and introduced everyone to the dancefloor. It allowed people time to get up...when their on the floor...they sing out the words, and then the track drops.

Darude is a great track also. I like to cut Darude over the top.

Whitney - I Wanna Dance With Somebody
Wham - Club Tropicana
Occassionally - Build Me Up Buttercup

Funny enough Yes again i played all 3 of those tunes last nite and cut or talked over the intro

How about Jocelyn Brown- Somebody elses guy
or Michael Jackson - Thriller

KC & the Sunshine band - Give it up

Spandau Ballet - Gold

Whigfield's 'Saturday Night'.

Cha Cha Slide

in fact i also miss the middle bit as well


and come to think of it the outro as well

Loads of tracks

Lou Bega - Mambo No 5
Whitney - I Wanna Dance With Somebody
Wham - Club Tropicana
Kenny Logins - Footlose
Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind
Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer
Kasier Chiefs - I Predict a Riot
Amy Winehouse - Valerie
George Michael - Faith
Michael Jackson - Beat It
Justin Timberlake - Cry Me A River
Steps - Tragedy

Contours - Do you love me
Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
Rufus & Chaka Khan - Ain't nobody
Kool & The Gang - Celebration (I have various cues setup depening on how much I want to say on the mic, or whether I just want to drop it in without any chat)

I always play the beggining of All i want for christmas, and Darude I usually use the mic over the intro.. but i rarley play it to be honest.

I always cut the intro to Wham - Club Tropicana, all those bird and insect sounds tend to leave puzzled expressions on all the faces gazing at the speakers.

Oddly enough I tend to play the intro of the Contours and 'Do you love me'

As with Don't Stop Me Now, its a tune I tend to play at the peak of the night and don't want to give anyone time to dissapear to the bar!

I'm definately missing the point lol

What next? Missing out verses? Choruses?
