Song intro.Opinions wanted.

My band tried out "Boogie Oogie Oogie" for the first time last night. That is a difficult song to play tightly. I know a few of you guys on here do it in your set(Strummer?). The intro was not working for me. Shouldd we ditch the intro and go straight to the main tune. What does everyone else do?

No, we don't do that one. Can't even remember how it starts, but if the intro doesn't fit the band, scrap it. Most punters'll just want the chorus anyway
