What song should I use for the intro of a video about music?

So I have to make a video about music for school and right now I’m working on the intro. Obviously, because my project is about music, I need to include music. During the whole project I’ll be talking about early forms of music and how it evolved (music from middle ages - modern day), how it affects humans/society, and what music is exactly. I have no idea what song to put in the intro to sum up all music. I want it to be a more recent song, one that would be recognizable. I really have no idea. Any ideas fitting would help. All I need it for is a short block of time with my title and definition of music. maybe 30 seconds of a song. So just let me know what song (with the artist please) and if possible which 30 s or so I should use (intro, verse, chorus, etc..) Thank you so much! Oh and if you have any other idea of what songs I should put in other parts of my video that would be great too. Most of the audience is going to be 7th-8th grade (and then there’s the teacher too). Oh and I think this goes without saying, but please don’t pick an explicit song. This is for a school project. I’ve tried to think of a song that would sound good, but I’m drawing a blank. I really just need input from other people. Thank you!

Answer #1

I’m not too sure… Try something with a good beat that would get their attention? Most recent songs have an up-beat to them.

Answer #2

ooh! i don’t know… i’m listing to TNT by ACDC right now, try that. but it might be too old for the audience. umm look at some Daft Punk songs from tron legacy they could work well for intros, i can’t think of a song name from the album right now. yeah gud luck with the project hope it helped

Answer #3

La Roux - Bulletproof.

The beginning of the song catches your attention and has a good upbeat to it. I think it would be a good song for the beginning as an example of what music has morphed into throughout the years.

As for during your powerpoint you can never go wrong with classics when describing an era of music:

Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit. Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box. Lynard Skynard - Free Bird. John Lennon - Let it Be Pat Benatar - Love is a Battlefield. Micheal Jackson - Thriller.

etc.

Answer #4

was thinking Jazz. idk. my suggestion probably sucks right?

Answer #5

Try I LOVE YOU THIS BIG by Scotty is it is the most popular song at this moment.
