    What's your favourite opening to a song? Either the musical intro., or the opening line?

    Current favourites:

    The Roots, The Seed (2.0) - fantastic abrupt opening drums

    Fountains of Wayne, Denise - lovely distorted guitars - "I know this girl named Denise, She makes me weak at the knees ...

    and opening lines:

    "Lucifer son of the morning, I'm gonna chase you out of earth" (Max Romeo, Chase the Devil)

    "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine" (Patti Smith, Gloria)

    Edited to add:

    How could I possibly forget - New Order, Blue Monday, best intro. ever.

    The guitar bit at the start of ABBA's Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight) is fantastic! Although the song goes kinda pants after that...
