Guest moggy Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Now I cannot think of that many But the one that sticks in my mind is Harold Melvin : Get Out You hear the intro "Just Picked Up The Telephone" You get on the dance floor and sort of sway around a bit until eventually it kicks in any others where you get on the floor like a good un only to stand around looking a twat for about 20 - 30 seconds till they kick in Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Paul McKay Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Geoff played an Invitations track at the last Blue Skies amd I thought to myself this is going on a bit with no vocal.

Simon T Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Cynthia and The Imaginations - Love Is Real j I often wonder what they were smoking when they made that record. The song's 3 minutes but the intro is a minute long. Fab record when it gets going, but I bet most people like me stopped playing it after the first 30 seconds of the intro.

Guest ScooterNik Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Not neccesarily the longest intro, but much as I love The MVPs 'Turnin my heartbeat up' I wish it would kick properly sooner!

Geoff Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 And I've done exactly the same with a copy of The Invitations 'Look On The Goodside'.. intro is so long you stop listening Yes, I must plead guilty to this faux pas. Guess it was nerves, and I didn't realise till halfway through. Sure I went bright red. Think Nige and Carms played an instrumental of a Rotations track at Maria's do in Thorne on Saturday, not sure if it was deliberate. Good dancer though.
