Music you instantly recognize without lyrics

[terry78]

There are songs you immediately know, even if you aren't given the title, or there are no lyrics. This one probably makes people start grinning for no reason as soon as they hear it since it's so familiar.

The Star Spangled Banner, God Bless America, and most material of that vein.

 

[Brick]

[Bnightwing]

Iam the type who hears a begging of a song and if I have herd it before I instantly know it

 

[OctaviusINC]

Any Johnny Cash song.

 

[Bill]

Actually, any song I've ever heard since I pay more attention to music than I do to lyrics.

 

[Halcohol]

I have trouble remembering that one until the lyrics kick in.

OH WAIT.

 

[FatalEnergy]

I can name any Black Dahlia Murder song within the first 3 seconds

 

[thedeadite]

I remember playing with them (black dahlia murder) once. We really didn't "fit" with the rest of the bands on that show. I think maybe 2 people there liked us, the rest either hated it or didn't know what to think.

Anyway..on topic, Beach Boys, Ventures and pretty much any early 80s hardcore song.

 

[Untilteld]

[Darthphere]

We've known each other for so long.

Your heart's been aching but, you're too shy to say it.

Black Sabbath - Iron Man
AC/DC - Back in Black

 

[Captain Planet!]

The Band-aid song.

"I am stuck on band-aid brand 'cause band-aids stick on meeee"

 

[Crook]

I'd say the beginning of both Thriller and Billie Jean, is recognizable by practically every musically-inclined person in the world.

I've never seen so many people react dramatically towards a simple start of a note, in both these songs.
