Well...
Not only "1-2, 1-2-3-4" but there's some more:
"2,3,4..." -- Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen
"1... 2... 3..." -- Yer So Bad by Tom Petty... I think.
And then there's one very odd song title: 867-5309/Jenny. That's a
classic '80s song. Very forgettable band name, but the song really stuck
with us, and has been brought back via the "Big 80s" by VH1.

It doesn't start this way, but in the middle of the song it goes

Yes, there have been quite a few good tunes which feature an
opening "count-in" on the actual finished release. For example,
the following Beatles-related recordings all have some form of
count-in:
- I Saw Her Standing There
- Taxman
- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)
- Yer Blues
- Instant Karma (John Lennon)
- Give Peace A Chance (John Lennon)
- Goodnight Vienna (Ringo Starr)
- Nobody Told Me (John Lennon)
Other recordings with a count-in include:
- Good Lovin' (The Young Rascals)
- Wooly Bully (Sam The Sham and The Pharaohs)
- Ball Of Confusion (The Temptations)
- Hot Pants (James Brown)
- Le Freak (Chic)
Then there are some recordings that have been released with a
count-in, but the count-in is extremely faint and hard to hear,
such as:
- Sweet Home Alabama (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
- Love Is Strange (Wings, from "Wild Life")
- The Cisco Kid (War, from "The World Is A Ghetto" vinyl LP)
Then there are some recordings that have a count-in on the LP
version, but not the 45, such as:
- Hello, It's Me (Todd Rundgren, as released on Something/
Anything?")
Then there are some recordings that were originally released
without a count-in, but have appeared later with a count-in on special
packages, for example:
- Closer To Home (I'm Your Captain) (Grand Funk, as released on
"Collectors Series")
- Funky Stuff (Kool And The Gang, as released on "The Best Of
1969-1976")
- Papa's Got A Brand New Bag (James Brown, as released on "Star
Time")
Some songs have counting in other places of the song besides the
beginning:
- You Never Give Me Your Money (The Beatles)
- Numbers (Kraftwerk) (The entire song features counting)
- Peppermint Twist (Joey Dee And The Starliters)
- Strawberry Fields Forever (The Beatles) (Clearly audible only on
CD releases)
- A Day In The Life (The Beatles)

And under the heading of "musica obscura" there was a tune by "It's a
Beautiful Day" which I think was called "Wasted" or "Wasted Union Blues"
that started with 1-2-3-4 that was tape-reversed (i.e., 4-3-2-1
backwards). Hope this helps.

>Ambrosia's "Holding On To Yesterday"
In The Police's"Invisible Sun", Sting is counting in the "background"
at the beginning of the song. I think he counts to seven in it if I recall.
Maybe a good offshoot of this thread would be to ask which song has the
highest number counted (not counting "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall", of
course. :) )

Billy Ocean started singing with "One two three - " I can't remember the
title. Only that naff '80s video where he wore that glaringly white suit with a
blue t-shirt with girls, in the background, dancing in a white studio. I kept
thinking it has to do with that film: Romancing the Stone, but got the feeling I
got it wrong - but I can hear that freakin line from Billy Ocean in my head.

In all this thread I'm astonished no one has mentioned Country Joe and the
Fish at Woodstock: "One Two Three, What are we fighting for, don't ask me I
don't give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam, and it's five six seven open up the
Pearly Gates, well there ain't no time to wonder why - WHOOPIE - we're all
going to die..."
(Sorry - can't remember the title or the other two verses but you get the
idea...)

Well, I should hope not!!
Grin... well that was "When The Going Gets Tough".
The bridge went like this:
Darlin', I'll climb any mountain
Darlin', I'll do anything
Can I hold you, can I hold you?
Can I touch you, touch you?
Do the things that you do!
Gotta get through to you! Oh...
And the chorus:
When the going gets tough,
When the going gets rough,
The tough gets going...
BUT I don't know the rest of the song thou. And YES it is maddeningly
addictive!

Ahhh - "Live For Today" by (it's coming to me, hold on!) but in the
mean time - did it START out like that, or was that in the middle
somewhere? You know, like Springsteen's "Born To Run"? Aaaaargh! ...
I can't think of the group for that song. Wanna say The Grass Roots,
but I'm not sure ...

OK, I've seen too many people post it to let it slide...
LISTEN!! Coolio's song "1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New)" does NOT START OFF with
"1 2 3 4" as the original post asked for. It's merely in the chorus and
the title. The entire song starts off with a sample of someone saying
"this is some of the lingua franca of the funk, and people come from miles
around with an almost religious devotion to get on down."
In fact, on the CD itself, the song isn't even called "1 2 3 4", it's
merely called "Sumpin' New".

"Merry go round" by COLD CHISEL has "1-2-3-4" as part of the song. It's
right near the end when you think the song is finished, then Barnesy cries
out "1-2-3-4" and the song goes on.

"Sweet Home Alabama" starts off with "1-2-3" <pause> <guitar riff>,
and "The Look" has "1-2-3-4" in the intro. Both are really great
songs.

Two songs by face to face start off "1,2...1,2,3,4" if that counts.
The songs are:
"You've Done Nothing" off of "Don't Turn Away" (Fat Wreck Chords)
"Struggle" off of "Big Choice" (Victory Recordings)
Both tracks start the respective albums and the beginning of "Struggle"
is a mixed and scratched version of the beginning of "You've Done
Nothing".

It's by Michael McDonald of The Doobie Brothers and Phillip Bailey of

I can only remember the first verse, so I can't help with lyrics, but
maybe what's here will help.

The song is "Yah Mo B There" by Michael McDonald and James Ingram.
I don't have the lyrics handy, but the main one is "Yah mo be there,
up and over, yah mo be there, up and over..[]...whenever you call".
The rest should be pretty easy to figure out. The song is basically
about God, the first line mentions the "heavenly Father".
Hope this helps,

Hi Seana,
"Yah Mo B There" was a Top 20 Hit for James Ingram in 1984. Michael
McDonald was actually the guest back-up vocalist on Ingram's recording. A
native of Akron Ohio, Ingram also shared a #1 Hit duet with Patti Austin
in 1982, "Baby, Come to Me".
Now you know!
