Song With Best Beginning

On a related note, there's also a whole subcategory of spoken intros. Some notable examples:

Patti Smith's cover of "Gloria" - "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine"
Kid Creole's cover of "Oh, What a Night" - "Hey Frankie, I had a night like that, too. Let me tell ya about it."
Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" - "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here...."

Marty

Pulp Fiction Soundtrack
"I love you Pumkin!"

Street Life by the Jazz Crusaders. listen to the opening. wow!

"Under My Wheels" - Alice Cooper
Dweller

I use the intro as my ringtone.

How about Mott The Hoople's All The Young Dudes. No doubt what song is coming with that intro.

Lust for Life by Iggy Pop has a great intro
