2. MUSE - UPRISING
Once in Italy, on one of the TV channels, the MUSE group was set before the fact that they would perform under the phonogram. The musicians decided: if so, they will protest and demonstratively change to the instruments before writing, so that everyone sees: on this program everything is under Phaneur. Matthew Matthew Bells sat down behind the drums, the drummer Dominic Howard stood up with a bass guitar at the microphone, and the bass guitarist Chris Usaine got up with a guitar behind the synthesizer. Nobody noticed the trick during the shooting, the transfer and went to the screens. After recording, the drummer gave an interview as a soloist.
3. Songs - Vologda
"Where is my dark-eyed, where?" ... when the song began to actively twist on the radio, the inhabitants of Vologda himself was very happy: at that time, in the city itself there was a single house with a carved panelis - a regional skin-venereologic dispensary.
4. David Bowie - The MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD
At the concert "Unplugged" Nirvana Kurt Cobain sang a very beautiful tribute "The Man Who Sold the World" Bowie. The concert came out shortly before the death of Kurt and soon became legendary.

And I think, "Yes, you went, Zadrindingly!".
5. Radiohead - Creep
In front of the chorus in the song, you can hear the muffled blows of the electrical guitar strings. Gitarist Joni Greenwood categorically did not like the song song, and he tried to spoil the record. But the annoying sounds found the song hero with the corresponding suffering, so they entered the final record.
6. METALLICA - NOTHING ELSE MATTSERS
The entry of the song begins by busting the open first, second, third and sixth strings. James Hatfield talked on the phone when he began to compose a song, because of what he was free only one hand.

In January 1991, KLSK-FM radio station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, moved to another format and decided to marry this event by the daily marathon of playing the Zeppelin "stairs to heaven." The song played on the air more than two hundred times in a row, causing the flow of angry calls and letters. Twice the radio station came the police: one listener said that the DJ is a heart attack, and the second (it was immediately after the war in Iraq) decided that the radio was captured by terrorists who sent a fan of Led Zeppelin Saddam Hussein. At the same time, thousands of people did not switch to another radio wave, deciding to know when it ends.
8. George Gershwin - Summertime
As a basis for writing, perhaps the most famous song of all times and peoples, the American composer took the Ukrainian lullaby song "Oh walk the sleep of Kolo Vіkon", which he heard in New York performed by the Ukrainian National Choir under the direction of Alexander Koshitsa. Summertime became the leitmotif of the opera Gershvin "Porgi and Bess" and immortalized the author.9. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
What is Teen Spirit? This is a brand of deodorant, released at the beginning of the nineties by Mennen. The phrase "Kurt smells Teen Spirit" wrote on the wall of the house of Cobein his girlfriend Kathleen Khan. Kurt thought that the revelation was drawn - the message of Kathleen, inspired by their disputes about punk rock and anarchy. I liked the phrase musician, and he put her in a song. In fact, Kathleen Parya that Kurt's all the ways deodorant of his girl Toby Vale, a sort of podkinnik. What such a deodorant is generally in the world, Cobain has already learned much later than the release of the single. The world's world popularity of the song, of course, gave impetus and sales of deodorant itself. The manufacturer firm picked up the wave and began to spin it with transparent references to the song: "Do You Smell Like Teen Spirit?". After a year, a deodorant became the most sold product in his niche, and COLGATE-Palmolive bought the COLGATE-Palmolive company. Until now, in the Lady Speed Stick line, there is a teenage deodorant Teen Spirit.
10. Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall
The words of the quirky "WE DON'T Need No Education" do not comply with the rules of English grammar: there is a "double denial" error (the proposal may contain only one negative particle). Double denial is sometimes used to exacerbate the meaning (remember "I CAN't Get No Satisfaction"), but it still remains an error. Maybe this is a deliberate hint of the quality of education: in the album "The Wall" Pink Floyd actively accuses the school in what she does from children of obedient animals, and not teaches.
11. John Lennon - Imagine
Lennon: "Imagine is a song against religion, nationalism, prejudice and capitalism. But since she is in sweet shell, no one is indignant. "12. Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water
The song describes real events. The group arrived to record an album in the studio of the Swiss city of Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva. On the eve at the Frank Zapapi concert in this fan studio, the fans were amused by a signal pistol and accidentally set fire to the building. It burned down, and the group had to look for a new studio. The words of the song describe the fire itself and the resulting torment with the record: then in the "Pavilion" theater, where the noise of rehearsals interfered with local residents, then in the empty unheated hotel "Grand Hotel". In one of these days, the bass guitarist Deep Purple Roger Glover woke up and said: "smoke over water." He dreamed of a blazing studio and smoke, harmed over the lake. The phrase became the name of the most famous hit group.
13. STING - RUSSIANS
Yes, yes, that very, with the words "I hope, the Russians also love their children." In this song, Sting used the "Romance" melody from the suite "Lieutenant Kizh" Sergey Prokofiev. Sting himself admitted, they say, steal a piece of Prokofiev and insert it into a pop song was "very boldly" (Very Cheeky), but "in that context it was justified." Later, in 1993, Sting gave worst, voicing the TV series "Peter and Wolf" on the symphony fairy tale of Prokofiev.
14. The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night
Remember the strange first song chord - such as the guitar burst all the strings once? Its for years could not accurately reproduce any guitarist. Only decades later, a teacher of informatics, Professor of the Canadian University of Delhaus Jason Brown solved this mystery using the Fourier transformation method. The scientist built a spectrogram of the audio signal of the chord and came to the conclusion that it is recognized in it the frequencies that do not belong to the six-string guitar of John or the twelve-tore guitar of George, nor the bass gender guitar. The researcher is confident that the missing tool is the piano on which George Martin played. It is strange that Jason talked for a long time with a spectrograph instead of asking live-healthy McCartney.
15. The Doors - The End
The song is recorded from one double and without all installation. Producer "The Doors" Paul Rothschild recalled about the moment of recording of the song: "I was just dumbfounded ... I was completely captured by what was happening. The studio was completely dark, except for candles in the jim's booth and lights on the remote. This was something mystical, and when the music of the smalcrose, for me it was like shock. All numbers, and the engineer has forgotten even turn off the tape recorder. "
