Rolling Stones - I Can't Get No Quick Extraction
Bee Gees - Massive chew sets
Wham - Young Gums
Roberta Flack - Drilling Me Softly
Pussycat Dolls - Denture Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me
Boston - More Than A Filling
Righteous brothers - You've Flossed that Loving feeling
Devo - Whip It (oot)
Blur - Plaquelife
Tomorrow's Get It On it's all about the beatand I'm looking for the songs that start with drums. There's Dreamin' for the obligatory Blondie song but there's also stuff like Stevie Wonder's Superstition and Adele's Rumour Has It. Whether it's a bass drum or a snare, get intouch with your suggestions of song that start with drums.
