I was watching some YouTube video about famous songs that are covers. There is an instrumental intro and ending that I can’t identify. I know that I know the song but I’ve listened to it over and over again for a few days and still can’t quite figure out what song it is from. I think it should be fairly easy to recognize. There is a short instrumental intro at the very beginning and another one at the very end starting at 11:24. Can someone please help me identify this song so I can finally get some sleep?

Damn…that was quick. I thought it would take at least 5 minutes! Thanks so much. Now I can rest peacefully!

No problem. Just a combination of right place, right time and a mis-spent youth learning things of no meaningful value.
