Favourite few seconds of a song

OK, maybe no-one else thinks like this, and I'm weird. But there's one little 2 second bit of There is a Light and It Never Goes Out, after Morrisey sings "Take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care" in the second verse, where Johnny Marr plays this little thing. And it's my favourite bit of the whole song. I love it. The whole song is awesome, but that's the best bit.

So...what other small song moments do you love?

2:15 to 2:54 of Here to stay- Korn - Untouchables...

The first few seconds of Trogdor the Burninator rocks

there are a couple rolling stones songs that have the best transitions ever. like i am waiting, right when the drum kicks in. its like a perfect moment

pixiies song do that really well too, like the song wont make any sense the all of a sudden it breaks into a super awesome bridge.

The sax and drums intro to The Twist by Chubby Checker is one of the most rockin moments in any song.

Also in The Chiffons' One Fine Day, the bit where it goes into the sax solo backed with handclaps and "aaaahhhhh's" is just glorous.

Oh yeah - any Rolling Stones song with maracas in it is guaranteed - especially Brown Sugar.

Mastodon - hearts alive - 3:08-3:16
Mare - they sent you - 3:00-4:14, anisette - 2:40-3:04

Burninating the village!!! burninating the village!!!!
You're pretty cool!

2:23 to 2:30 in Finger Eleven's "Good Times"
:40 to :58 in Creed's "Bullets" (probably the only part longer than :15 that I like of a Creed song)
:00 to :36 in Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" Classic!!
:00 to :42 in Iron Maiden's "Aces High" Another classic
:00 to :29 in Lacuna Coil's "To Live is to Hide"
3:08 to 3:23 in Lacuna Coil's "To Live is to Hide"
:17 to :33 in RATM's "Killing in the Name of"
1:07 to 1:22 in Slayer's "Raining Blood"
:00 to :05 of RHCP's "Higher Ground"

And yes, I'm that bored that I looked them all up.

1:30 to 2:05 in Jimi Hendrix's "Woodstock Improvisation"... crazy ascending scales that finishes with a feedback screech.... gives me goosebumps every time i hear it. the single greatest guitar solo ever.

The very beginning of Disturbed’s “Down With The Sickness” you know the “Ohh Ahh AhH AHH!!” part. Also (1:21)-(1:25) from PJ Harvey’s “Shame.” And the “don’t worry baby” part’s of Garbage’s “Push It.”

If you all are interested this website made a list of what they thought the best song "parts" of all time are...

bonus, click on the albums and you can hear the part...

that part in 'all mod cons' by the jam where they go 'artistic freedom/do what you want/but just make sure that the money ain't gone'. the way the drums sound, the way everything else drops off. so cool.

I love the mad bass licks in the middle of 'My Grain' by COC

I love that part too! I like how the strings in the background swell from there on out, as well.

Agreed. I always start smiling when I hear that, and when it starts up at a wedding or something, it's everyone's cue to rush to the dance floor.

The part in "Jersey Girl" by Tom Waits where everything drops out except the bass and he sings, "And I call her name / I can't sleep a night," and then the music comes back up. Tears me up.

When I started this thread, I had the song on Winamp, and I was like, "Shall I write down the actual seconds during which it takes place? Nah, Everyone would laugh at me." I was wrong, clearly.

I fell less alone, now.

i like the "ytou claimed all this time that you would die for me" part in eulogy and the "hold your light 11 lead me through each gentle step, by step.." part in Jimmy both by tool....

I love it too
I have far too much to list and im lazy anywho or i would

I like the part in that one Fugazi song where the guitars are going and the drums play at the same time and then just the guitar, but the drums come back in. I like that. It sounds pretty cool.

speaking of Fugazi?
I love the "cha cha cha cha cha cha cham-pi-onnnnnnnnn!!!" part in "smallpox champion"

and the chorus of "sharks and sailors" by June of 44

HOT CHILD IN THE CITY, OHHHHH...
