Usually it is clear from the start of a song where the downbeat is, where the "one" is, but with some songs it isn't so clear.

The outro music to this video is my track "Clap" which you can hear in full on Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0wKKJoOZd8JQJDgGU8sb8V?si=…

The strangest side effect of starting this channel must be that David now is forced to have an encyclopedic knowledge of Beatles and Eagles cover bands.

8:10 if the beatles had written it without the beat, they'd just be les.

Never been confused by the Misty Mountain Hop into. However, the drum intro to Rock & Roll by Led Zep gets me every time.

Tell Me Something Good- Rufus Lonely Boy- Andrew Gold Beautiful Girls- Van Halen Stairway to Heaven (middle breakdown section)- Led Zeppelin The king of all will always be Black Dog- Led Zeppelin No song ever again will be so accessible while being so rhythmically confusing. It’s really miraculous if you think about it. Most songs eventually “square up” in a listener’s head and make sense, whereas Black Dog constantly hides the “one” but for some reason nobody seems to care.

I suspect the reason why Hall and Oates start the song differently when playing live is to avoid the audience clapping out of time!

Daft Punk - Veridis Quo It's so satisfying to hear the transition.

It's funny I've never struggled to pick up on Hold The Line. But after hearing this analysis, I can definitely hear why many do! Also I remember at one point constantly restarting You Make My Dreams to try to figure out what beat it actually started on!

Just What I Needed - The Cars Rock 'n Roll - Led Zeppelin - Greg Bissonnette does a good explanation.

The Beach Boys’ “Caroline, No” is the one that trips me up every time, personally. The first tambourine hit make me think that’s the 1, when it’s really the 8 (or 4-and). I have gotten used to this, and now I imagine the intro is in 9/4 to make it easier for myself.

David, don't overlook the possibility that beat placement may be altered by the tin ear of a producer. I was doing a lead sheet for a full orchestra on a film score once, and found a 1/8 bar in the middle. Odd, but not impossible. But when the producer saw that, he called me and said that no such bar existed, so I played him the recording and we listened very carefully. We came to the conclusion that the extra 1/8 bar was an artifact of tape splicing by an engineer, putting together 2 separate takes. The engineer was apparently unaware what he was doing to the rhythm!

“Making Plans for Nigel” by XTC is probably the one that always trips me up the most…the drum intro starts on the 1 but doesn’t feel like it at all, then when the guitar comes in you get confused, and THEN when the vocals come in you finally figure out the rhythm.

It's adorable how excited he sounds when he's counting the beats, like almost breaking character

I'm thinking of Pink Floyd's "Money". I always hear the opening cha-ching and change in free time, then start counting when the sound effects start their regular 7/4 beat after that. But then a couple measures in, the music starts on beat 3 of what I thought I'd been counting, and counts its 7/4 from there, shifting the rhythm over. ...All while the sound effects don't break their stride. Excellent video as ever! ❤

Kings of Convenience "I Don't Know What I Can Save You From." Listened to that song for decades and still gets me every time unless I focus on starting my count from two.

Spirits in the Material World still gets me every time, as even when Sting sings the first verse you think you’ve got it, and then the chorus kicks in and boom! - you’re completely off.

Where the drums come in on Everybody Wants to Rule The World by Tears for Fears. I’m a drummer and it’s still an interesting counting job. That and Manny Elias playing hi-hat on the middle note of each triplet grouping!

I'm dating myself, but the 70s Disco era one-hit wonder 'Car Wash' has a tricky off-beat intro of hand claps and wah-wah guitar. The intro builds tension and anticipation, and when the song starts and everything lands on the downbeat, it just seems to make the song groove harder.

I always thought my confusion with these types of songs was a Me Problem. I'm glad to hear they aren't! Fascinating stuff.
