I tried to stop myself. I really did. It was just such a ripe opportunity.
I guess that’s why they’re classic ;-]
Don’t let the haters get you down, that is my favorite song of all time.
Really.
Ha, ha....came back from Florida and Disney World last month. My stepdaughter thought my wife and I would enjoy that ride. When the ride was over, I wanted to find some kerosene and burn the whole thing down. Incredibly annoying melody and most boring ride at Disney World.
I was at a kids museum and they had a huge keyboard on the floor. It took a while but I managed to play the first bit of Ode to Joy by jumping from key to key. Besides the radio and part of Chicago’s Color my World, that’s all I know how to play.

and wipeout, surfin bird, jump, devil inside, every breath you take, rock me amadeus, couldn’t be figured out in a couple seconds?
and I bet people recognized it?
The Stones have many songs recognized by just 2 or 3 notes. They even have one that is easily recognized in the first 3 drum beats without any other instruments - Honky Tonk Woman.
Dragnet! What about Peter Gunn? It’s 8 notes, but it’s got you by the first 4. When I was a kid everyone not only knew it, they could play it on the piano, like chop sticks.
Dang just got it out my head from 1989. Thanks!
You are a GREAT parent!

None from the OP list.
I have a short commute.
Yeah ... 96 Tears ... Seared in my brain forever!
It doesn’t happen. I don’t listen to stations that play that type of music. My radio’s either on talk radio or gospel quartet.
Sorry guys, but the Stones have the most 1 or 2 or 3 note recognizable songs in all of rock. Even "Satisfaction" was a 2 note intro (E and A) that every one knows.
Speaking of intros to rock music. Here is the all time arguably best musical intro to a song. This song has been used in numerous Scorsese movies and countless others. Scorsese used it in the classics of Goodfellows, Casino, and The Departed. Many other directors have uses this intro to set the mood for a particular scene and is probably THE most used rock intro of all time. Can you guess? No, It wasn't the Beatles.
So you don't have to Google, it was the Rolling Stones, "Gimme Shelter". The intro to that song is undeniably the most haunting and eerie intro that Rock & Roll has ever produced. While Pink Floyd had there moments, they just didn't rock like the Stones on "Gimme Shelter". It's my favorite Stones song.
Interestingly, the drummer Charlie Watts just did pounda pounda pounda pound rather than drum rolls. Bill Wyman followed Charlies lead for the rhythm section to keep things simple. Mick Taylor and Keith Richards did a complex battling solo that has inspired so many guitar bands later.
I don't get fuzzies, but love the groove. It's about America paving over everything in site. Still, I one of the few who can ignore the message and appreciate the music.
Agreed. Crodile Rock was very catchy.
