have you ever noticed a small similarty between the riff from "Sarbacane" (Francis Cabrel, french singer, 1989) and the one from Communique ?
Communique is in A and slower, while Sarbacane is in B, but played with a capo in A shape, and a bit faster
Of course the Cabrel riff is very common, as a typic A shuffle, and can be found in many folk-rock american songs, but every time I hear it, I think to Communique which is by far more subtle and more complex, but in the same vein imho
