It’s not exactly a count off, but unusual counting in a song anyway, from Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Free No. 10”:
I was shadow-boxing earlier in the day I figured I was ready for Cassius Clay I said “Fee, fie, fo, fum, Cassius Clay, here I come 26, 27, 28, 29, I’m gonna make your face look just like mine Five, four, three, two, one, Cassius Clay you’d better run 99, 100, 101, 102, your ma won’t even recognize you 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, gonna knock him clean right out of his spleen"
Pretenders , Middle of the Road, being a countoff in the middle break of the song. I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard they were placeholders for lyrics that never got added in the final version
The Police live versions of “Born in the 50s” start out with a similar six count:
The reason, I assume, is that there is a two-beat pick-up bar before the first measure (so the song starts on the 3 instead of the 1) and your options to count off are either one-two and go into the song or count to six and go into the song. With latter you have a little more of establishing the tempo.
Rock around the Clock - used as the theme song for Happy Days starts with:
One, two, three o’clock, four o’clock, rock
Five, six, seven o’clock, eight o’clock, rock
Nine, ten, eleven o’clock, twelve o’clock, rock
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
Then the theme song from a spin-off of Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley starts with:
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated
During the first verse of Space Oddity by David Bowie there’s a 10, 9, 8… rocket launch countdown in the background. As it reaches ‘Take Off’ a much fuller instrumentation begins playing.
There’s a Beatles song (not sure which one) where John starts by mumbling “Sugarplum fairy, Sugarplum fairy” before the band comes in. It’s on the Anthology version but you don’t hear it on the radio. Does that count?
