Name that tune
While going through the What Are You Listening to thread I was struck by the songs that with only a few notes brought on memories.
There used to be a game show that had contestants bidding on their ability to name a song only hearing a decreasing number of notes. So here goes of the many songs that come to mind let me submit "Layla" by Derek and the Dominos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSquiIVLhrQ So what other songs immediately come to mind just hearing a few notes? (hopefully this will generate more interest than my other attempts at starting a conversation. |

The "chung!" at the start of "A Hard Day's Night".
Arguably the most memorable guitar solo in the history of popular music despite being only one beautifully struck chord. |

Juicy by Notorious B.I.G. Whether you like the genre or not, or can even place the song or artist, I don't know of a generation that isn't somewhat familiar with the song, or at least the beat, just hearing the first second of it (certainly anyone growing up in the late 80's or 90's)

I'm with bloke57 here rather than teaktop (no offence, but one or two or even ten notes in I didn't recognise it)
The drum roll on She Loves You, or the fret vibration on the opening Dminor on I feel Fine. Instantly recognisable, and a smile on my face.
