i think because claps are so commonly used on beats 2 and 4, that even with no other elements to provide context it still feels like its supposed to be on beats 2 and 4.

Yeah, it's how you separate the musicians from the non-musicians. Claps, snares and other "white noise" goes on the 2 and the 4. Bass goes on the 1 and 3. Obviously.

Claps ring in the range of snare like electric kits or midi options but when an audience claps along its usually in a folk or acoustic or maybe gospel setting likely without drums and they are encouraged to clap on beat

The song Veridis Quo is actually very smart play on words. It means ‘Where are you going’ in latin, but it also sounds like ‘Very Disco’ which is a pangram for ‘Discovery’ the name of the album ;). Clever, just like the intro

@ButzPunk
@ButzPunk 2 месяца назад
The actual Latin phrase is "quo vadis" so the pun is a bit of a stretch. Interestingly, the change from "disco-very" to "very-disco" could be seen as an example of _verlan_ which is a French method of producing cant words where the syllables are reversed (e.g. verlan itself, which comes from l'invers), which might make it the only (certainly most famous) example of _verlanised dog latin_
@chitlitlah
@chitlitlah 2 месяца назад
It would be pronounced more like 'wery discwo'. The v can be pronounced like the English v if you want to sound like an old Italian pronouncing Latin, but the qu works the same in Latin, Italian, and English. Also what ButzPunk said. My dictionary can't find veridis as the inflected form of any word and Google Translate thinks it's an inflection of veritas (truth). Also, for the English translation of "Quo vadis?", I like, "Whither goest thou?" However, veridis looks more like vaditis to me, so maybe it should be, "Where y'all going?"
@crit-c4637
@crit-c4637 2 месяца назад
​@@chitlitlah That is the transliterated spelling, so the v is pronounced as a v in English. Also the title is a reference to Quo Vadis, confirmed by the artists.

There’s a fun video of Harry Connick Jr. playing a solo and the crowd is clapping along, then his bandmates start laughing as he keeps playing. He had just played a measure of 5/4 to get the crowd clapping on the 2 and 4, and no one noticed but the musicians.

The bell ringing at the beginning of High Hopes by Pink Floyd is another one. It gets you nicely into thinking it's on the 1 but when the keyboard comes in you realise that the bell is not even ringing on the 2 and 4 but on the '2-and' & '4-and' - an eighth note behind the 1 and 3.

One of my favorite examples of a misleading intro is “La Mer” by Nine Inch Nails. The piano plays a 3/4 riff to start off the song. The drums come in playing 4/4 and the bass follows the piano in 3/4. It’s a really cool song!

THANK YOU for including Car Wash. FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS CLAP ON 1 & 3! I once had to stand my ground against six other members of the band, who insisted that I was out of my mind. (All professional musicians, too.) They had inserted an extra beat when the tune started to compensate for the mistake. But if you notice, the clapping keeps going throughout the rest of the song and it becomes obvious that it's on the 2 & 4. My bandmates tried to insist that Rose Royce "meant to do that". But I stood my ground and won out in the end. It was beyond frustrating for me as they were really snarky about it. Eventually they came round, but not without a fight. I was so sad that day, I'll never forget it. So now I feel validated! Thanks, David. You're the best. :)

Interestingly, I remember a time when Veridis Quo and Car Wash were new to me and I heard them the wrong way, but after listening to them so many times, I basically trained my brain to hear them correctly. Not an intro, but the middle 8 section of Lean On Me by Bill Withers is very metrically confusing, since I've never heard a single cover that does it the same as the original.

@seancorrigan5875
@seancorrigan5875 2 месяца назад
I find a lot of genres where syncopation is a big component can be hard to count along to in the beginning. My favorite example is “The Impression That I Get” by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. A Ska punk song where the first 4 bars are just the guitar and the rest of the band (minus the drums) is the next 4 bars. Then the drums come in and finally anchors the rhythm to the correct place.
@LoopyChew
@LoopyChew 2 месяца назад
It’s *only* the guitar for the first four bars and I think the sustains do a pretty good job anchoring the rhythm pretty early on. YMMV, naturally. The thing that blew my mind years down the line is that someone pointed out to me that there’s an invisible comma in the refrain: “I’ve neeeeeeever had to, knock on wood-“ which changes the start of the chorus from a declaration of autonomy to a statement of empathy for everyone who’s eeeeever had to do the things the verses ask about. Which is out of the scope of this video but I can’t believe I had to have that pointed out.

Alan Parsons Project - I Robot. The sequenced and quantized bass synth line comes in and it's so regularly paced... and because it fades in, the downbeat could be anywhere. Then finally the drums come in to give you the reference point for the 1, but they've got a shuffle groove to them, and suddenly somehow the synth becomes the off-beat part.

2 songs come to mind. Tell Me Something Good by Chaka Khan and Nautilus by Close to the Sun both have decieving intros. Tell Me Something Good presents an up down pattern with a mute on the downbeat but starts on an offbeat tricking you into hearing the mute as an offbeat, and Nautilus has a sonar ping on the and of 1 but the beat doesn't come in for 10 measures. The bass and keys do come in hinting at its true spot in the beat, but until the drums come in there's no confirmation until then

Another very confusing song that I would love for you to analyze is 'rabbit in your headlights' by UNKLE. A jewel! Greetings David!

It's like a black/blue-yellow/white dress situation.

Nice Vid, David. I think about these types of intros a lot, too. Some that spring to mind are: Pistol of Fire - Kings Of Leon still gets me every time and I actually can't unhear the wrong counting, only by the time we're in the chorus Razz - KOL is off the same album and also has a weird intro, very cool though First thing I thought you'd mention btw was drive my car, but I believe you already touched on that in another video In rainbows also has two cool ones bodysnatchers - Radiohead Videotape - Radiohead - this is really weird, there's a video essay out there about this - basically every chord is on the eighth note before the downbeat but it never really gets into that feel ... Looking forward to the next video!

My personal favorite example of this is Behold by Joey Fehrenbach. The synth line that fades in at the beginning leads the rhythm, and even when the drums come in, they still feel like they're on the offbeat. I'm not even sure if it was intended or not, but the synth has such a strong presence that you can flip whether it or the drums are counting the 1 and it works either way.

Whatever it's called, it's a great trick! Yeah as a drummer myself Car Wash doesn't throw me, I immediately think of claps on the 2 & 4. When the kick comes in layered with it, I hear that as that kind of reggae style rhythm where kick is often on the upbeat too.

Also - for interesting use of the off beat, go listen to the title track of that latter album - and ditto with Rock and Roll Stew, you'll hear an off-beat clap in certain parts of each song.

Another confusing one is the beginning of the song "Lights Out" by Royal Blood. It's difficult to directly feel the pulse when you're listening to the song and not playing it. The idea is simple, just constant sixteenth notes with a rest on beats 1 and 3. Mike Kerr even pick the first note of the pattern with a downstroke when it would be more comfortable to start with an upstroke!

Here's a very obscure (and very subtle) example of a song with a confusing intro: "Black Rose", from the cult GameCube psychological horror game _Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem._ The intro is sparse, consisting of four bells tolls, each two measures apart, and ambient rain and thunder sounds. Once the guitar and synths start coming in, you (might) realize that not only are the bells _not_ sounding on the downbeat, they're a _sixteenth note_ before beat 2 (the "a" in "one-ee-and-a").

I’m the same way with Car Wash. Once you have heard enough of the beginning and especially the guitar high note “and” it’s easy to hear that from the start.

"Invaders Must Die" by The Prodigy was the first song that I remember noticing this kind of ambiguity in.

A song that I find has a confusing intro is Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn. At first, it seems like there is a chord change on every 1st and 3rd beat (with the first chord of the song starting on the 1 &). But once we get to the chorus, to me at least, where the downbeat falls starts to become ambiguous, and once the drums enter, it becomes apparent that the chord changes actually happen on the 2 & and 4 &.

Love these videos. Here are some more that have thrown me for a loop: Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue and No More Tears by Ozzy Osbourne.

Somewhere I saw or read a person involved in the creation of Bennie and the Jets saying they intentionally placed the claps on beat 1 and 3 because it's well known that UK audiences do that rather than clapping the backbeat 2 and 4

One of my favorites in this category, a tad more subtle, is "Galileo" by Indigo Girls.

I’ve heard Cliff Richard say there’s a time signature change in the intro to Move It.

one of the songs that had an intro that confused me the first time I heard it recently is gardenia by Kyuss

0:55 I actually caught the David Bowie one 😁 the place the guitar came in immediately told me the pulses couldn't be the downbeats

I hope I didn't comment too late yet again. *Jailhouse Rock* is the grand daddy of all confusing intro songs. You cannot let this series of videos conclude without mentioning it!
