   I hope this isn't too far off topic, but I figured this forum is the best spot for keen ears.  Plus, maybe it'll be a little fun.  

Several years ago, at my college station, I ran a marathon of every Number One single in history, 1955 to 2002.  I created an opening montage with clips from about 25 #1's.  

Now, here in upstate New York, we're doing the same marathon for Labor Day weekend, so I pulled out the montage to reuse.  Strangely, around (0:03) or (0:04) there's one song clip that none of us recognize, including me.  Here's the full thing:

Anyone want to take a stab at all of them?  Bonus points if you get the one that's torturing me!  

Thanks - Eric

	The voice sounds familiar, Eric, but I can't place it. That's the one right before "Come Together," right? Edited by Brian W.

	Yes, right before "Come Together." You'd think that having cut this together myself, I might remember ... especially since it's one of only about 950 possible songs that went to #1!

	Yeah there's at least three Beatles in a row around there. Before Come Together there is a Beatles snip (not sure which song though, I haven't had time to really listen( but before that is from Love Me Do, "SomeONE to love".
