The electric bass is fantastic and begs to be turned up. Faze-O's "Riding High." The keyboard sets the mood and ambiance for the rest of the song.

Some notable examples: Patti Smith's cover of "Gloria" - "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine" Kid Creole's cover of "Oh, What a Night" - "Hey Frankie, I had a night like that, too. Let me tell ya about it." Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" - "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here...." Marty
