Pop songs with kick-ass horns

Feel So Good- Chuck Mangione

Everything I Want To Be - Save Ferris

Just about anything recorded before 1945. Screw all y’all.

“Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” written to advertise for Vooray. Horns are fab and video is all kinds of awesome, pretty sure I’m being hypnotized by these beautiful, smiling people.

Stevie Wonder - “Superstition”
Stevie Wonder - “I Wish”
Stevie Wonder - “Sir Duke”
Zappa - “Peaches en Regalia”
Bartók - Concerto for Orchestra
Bowie - “V-2 Schneider”

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned this one, but “Get It On” from the short-lived band Chase. (If it doesn’t ring a bell, it’s the song that ends with the horns doing the opening riff from “In-a-Gadda-da-Vida”. Yes, I had to look it up.)

I’ve seen some great posts. here are a few with strong horn sections:

Funky Fanfare by Keith Mansfield
Italia a Mano Armata by Franco Micalizzi & The Big Bubbling Band(used by Quentin Tarantino in Death Proof)
Ran Kan Kan
Doo Doo Doo Doo (heartbreaker) by the Rolling Stones
Hump De Bump by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Stand Up by The Prodigy
You can call me Al by Paul Simon
Mojo Man by Jimi Hendrix on “People, hell and angels”
Big Booty Woman by Black Joe Lewis

Louisiana Gator Boys - How Blue Can You Get?

Turn the page by Bob Seger.
Not a lot of sax, but what there is, is awesome.

A few more I didn’t see get a mention:

Candy Everybody Wants and Few and Far Between - 10,000 Maniacs

Smooth Operator - Sade

Pretty much the entire genre of Ska is a good answer to this thread, but since someone brought up Save Ferris, here is how “Come on Eileen” sounds when you substitute horns for strings:

Huge improvement, I think.

A recent pop song with horns I’m partial to is this one:

“move on up” I’m a huge fan of the version by The Jam. Superb live version here.
“Will you” by Hazel O’Connor

What a fun thread! Found some really good music here.

F.M. - Steely Dan

Is that Enough - Marvin Gaye

Superfly - Curtis Mayfield

“Would I lie to You” by the Eurythmics is a great horn song with a lousy fade-out finish.

Sympathy For the Devil.

This thread has existed for a year and no one has mentioned Dick Dale’s “Misirlou”? Shameful.

Anything from Five Iron Frenzy.

Fair warning: it’s Christian ska, if that bothers you, but it isn’t particularly obnoxious about it.

“Wooly Bully.”

Fantasy - Earth Wind and Fire

Sing Sing Sing

"SING, SING, SING" BY BENNY GOODMAN - YouTube (This one will never not be cool.)
