Talk:Count off

Examples
I don't think it's necessary to list every song we can think of that has a count off. However, some of the more unusual ones are nice to list. If anyone can find a reference for the following, feel free to add it to the article:
 * "Four Little Diamonds" by Electric Light Orchestra (1983)
 * Jeff Lynne begins the song by implying a count ("after four..."), before foregoing the count and simply shouting "four!" and the song begins.

Misc. list
Here's some other songs with count offs that may or may not be worthy of inclusion:
 * "Don't Bring Me Down" by Electric Light Orchestra (1979)
 * "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by The Beatles (1966)
 * "Yer Blues" by The Beatles (1968)

It's slightly odd that 3 of the current examples (and two of the additional suggestions above) are by The Beatles and two by John Lennon. Should we spread the examples around more? Bondegezou (talk) 14:50, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Fine by me; they're only Beatles ones because I had them to hand at the time of writing the article! matt (talk) 10:00, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
