I'm old enough to remember playing "Beat the Intro" listening to the Radio 1 roadshow.
A challenge with a twist ...
What intro :
preferably 20+ seconds long
makes you go
"I'm 17 again"
"I heard this at...."
" Oh, its that"

there is a prize but it will out me - hey ho.
PS I'm not a journalist, just an accountant
