One Lyric - The Audience Will Know

In recognition of this post being my 800th publication as of 2010, I thought I would celebrate in a unique way.

When you know a song based on one lyric, you truly are a lifelong fan.

Let's say you are a fan of Billy Squier.  You are at a concert that you have been looking forward to for some time.  Shouts of excitement when he walks on stage.  And then he launches the night with -

"Stroke me, stroke me"

The audience knows "The Stroke."  In fact, they know one word to respond with.  Since you know this song so well, here is a brief background of "The Stroke."

Debut single released in 1981
Triple Platinum album, Don't Say No
No. 17 on U.S. Billboard Hot 100
Hit on rock radio - No. 3 on Top Tracks chart
No. 52 on UK Singles Chart
No. 59 on VH1 Best Hard Rock Song of all Time

Let's say you are a fan of Peter Frampton.  You are at a concert that you have been looking forward to for some time.  Shouts of excitement when he begins playing the guitar.

The audience knows the song and its lyrics with the first pick at his guitar strings.

And then there is a curious yet electric pause from the song for Peter Frampton's extended guitar solo and use of a talk box to intrigue the audience, who still know the song all too well.  Since you know this song, here is a brief background of "Do You Feel Like We Do."

Originally on Frampton's Camel album (1973)

One of three hit singles from Frampton Comes Alive! album (1976)
