AKICILJ: Please help cure my earworm
Feb. 3rd, 2015 05:12 pmYesterday, I read a post where ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rachelmanija was trying to find out what instrument was being played in the opening instrumental in the song below, before the lyrics started up. (Consensus seemed to be that it was a harpsichord, probably an electronic version thereof.) But then I realized it was awfully familiar, and not because I'd heard the song before.
It kept repeating in my brain last night until I fell asleep. In the morning, something said "Al Stewart" to me, and a little while ago, I finally came up with "The Palace of Versailles."
My question is, is that the only place I remember that riff from, or is there some classic precursor that I should recognize as well?
