Ever since I saw the scene where he and the Raelettes improv'd this song live in the movie "Ray," this song has captivated me. For anyone who's ever dreamed about going back in time to be witness to particular moments (who hasn't), this one is on my very, very short wish list.

Brownsville, Pennsylvania, outside of Pittsburgh. Venue: unknown. Time: Wee hours, around 1:00 a.m. or 2:00 a.m. Set list exhausted, but still on the clock under the evening's contract.

Ray to the Raelettes: "Listen, I'm going to fool around and y'all just follow me."

Actually, Meyers 7 did mention it in his previous post of the indubitably iconic Eric Cartman cover of said classic.

Another well known opening. I'll give you an "iconic"? voice????

Come Sail Away - Eric Cartman (Styx cover)




This would not fit in the beautiful music thread.

Okay...I guess.

Another U2 oldie but goodie from U2
New Years Day - great piano riff

A little Keith Emerson. Keys, C3, synth, pipe organs all were mastered by this genius:
