Best Song Intro

Just curious on what songs' intro really floats your boat. I got the idea today for this thread listening to my iPod when "It's A Long Way There" by The Little River Band started up. It starts out with some symphony, adds GREAT vocal harmonies, then cool rhythm guitar, followed by some cool electric riffs and chicken pickin' harmonics. Love it. And I'm not really a huge LRB fan.

So whatcha' all like?

My vote goes for Tom Waits' opening monologue to "Better Off Without a Wife"

not that I am a Journey fan... but I always like the beginning to 'Don't Stop Believing' it is quite good, especially relative to the rest of the songs the band has recorded...
