Songs with the 'Be My Baby' drum intro

ABBA could have used this drumbeat to great effect on "Ring Ring".

What about "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band? It's in the breakdown about 2/3 of the way through the song.

I just did a podcast about this actually: http://soundsfamiliarpodcast.tumblr.com/post/22381881971/sounds-familiar-1-the-drums-from-be-my-baby-and

There's a whole Wikipedia entry for this:

Songs that use the Be My Baby drum beat

Search Spotify too - I came across someone who put together an even more extensive playlist

'everybody wants something' by the zit remedy is almost entirely made up of the be my baby intro beat

Pixies - Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)

I remembered this thread when we were doing the poll: Cocteau Twins- "In the Gold Dust Rush".

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, especially this past week:

Badfinger - "Baby Blue"

“If you listen closely,” Blaine says, “I played the same beat on ‘Strangers in the Night’ that I played on ‘Be My Baby,’ just slower and softer.”

The Cure "Kyoto Song"

Lansing-Dreiden do this on the first track of their first album, but it's a total fake-out and works perfectly

One of my favorite songs of 2015, "Secrets" by Le Pie.

The Ohio Express "Chewy Chewy" has a nearly perfect "Be My Baby" break including the bass riff just the final chorus (1:23 in the above video)

opening track of the new Suede album does this, admittedly after a minute and a half of orchestral largesse

track 3 of the new mitski album does this, presumably through gritted teeth

afghan whigs, "algiers"

Lisa Prank - Turn It Up

Erich Bachmann - Mercy

Ok I made a short video to show how absolutely weird the @spotify song recommendation engine is. I thought I was going crazy. pic.twitter.com/0OwGvZOQIz
