Pop songs with brass sections

1. Reward - Teardrop Explodes
2. Northern Lights - Super Furry Animals
3. Wake Up Boo - Boo Radleys
4. Can't Get There From Here - REM
5. Geno - Dexy's Midnight Runners

I know, but they had one sax person, and that track has a brass section.

7. Kick over the Statues - The Redskins

The mention of Teardrop Explodes is funny to me.. I'm not a big follower of the band's music, and put on Kilimanjaro once every six months or so, and for some reason I have it in my head as "that album that sounds like the Fixx but with horns all over the place." Guess I'm REALLY not a big follower of them...

Oops - sorry! You'll have to disregard my first 3.

"It's a Kid's World" by Disco Inferno.

I'll get me coat...

re:By artists without brass in their usual lineup ... how could you possibly include Dexys??

Congratulations! You passed!

The correct Beatles-related answer is, in fact, "Savoy Truffle," so much so that when They Might Be Giants covered it on the George Harrison tribute, the horn lines were the only instrumentation they kept.

"Late in the Evening" by Paul Simon

Rolling Stones, "Bitch"

Grass Roots, pretty much everything post-"Midnight Confession"

Turtles, "She'd Rather Be With Me"

Monkees, "Valleri"

Doors, "Touch Me"

Love, "You Set the Scene" (perhaps the greatest horn chart ever?)

"The Universal"

And as for the Monkees, "Valleri" is great, but it's "Listen to the Band" that really delivers on this thread. Although I'll never unlink it from my old assistant manager who, when asked about Listen To The Band, said "They should have called it 'Listen to the Bad.'" (His thoughts on "Life in the Fast Lane": "Life in the Bad Lane." He was a fantastic guy...)

... well, it's fairly breezy

Revive. And also add in melancholy solo trumpets as well as breezy fanfares.

LDN by Lilly Allen.
Badhead by Blur.
An Olive Grove facing The Sea by Snow Patrol.
Requiem For An Oil Spill Seagull by 6.by 7.

Pretty Little Ditty by Red Hot Chili Peppers (if solo trumpets count)

No Cars Go by Arcade Fire.

brass songs with pop sections

brassy broads with poppin' bods

The Who, 5.15

There's this German marching band called Meute who do brass cover versions of dance music at festivals, and they are more hipster than seems possible in 2018, but here is their live version of the Flume remix of You & Me by Disclosure and Eliza Doolittle, and I think it's somehow really good. Am I going crazy here? This shouldn't be good.

There's a fair bit of brass on The Notorious Byrd Brothers innit. "Artificial Energy" and "Draft Morning", etc...

Jens Lekman's "You Are the Light"; probably a few other tracks too, his "usual lineup" being hard to define.

I guess Talking Heads' Naked begins ("Blind"/"Mr Jones") with uncharacteristically large helpings of brass. Though some of that is saxophone, so...

Bjork has obviously dabbled a few times, circa Debut and Volta especially.

Hunters & Collectors seem like serial offenders. Have to remind myself that the horn section were semi-official members.

The Meute clip is good methinks. At this point I'd get way more mileage out of brass band renditions of pop hits than string quartet arrangements.

xp and on "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star"
