Best intro to a song.

My ringtone.

 

Synchronicity II
Underground

 

Somebody to Love

 

In the Air Tonight (yep, I was a Miami Vice guy in the 80's)

 

Great intro, and song.

Just gave it a listen for the first time in a while, and there aren't too many 1980s songs that mention secretaries, cheap tarts and so-called superiors in the same verse — while rhyming "watch" and "crotch"!

 

Did a story on the basketball team at a military academy in Wisconsin some 30 years ago where a couple of NYC kids had been recruited. So in the middle of all the cornfields, here was a team that blasted this song as it came from the home locker room and went through warm-ups. As the players from this team, particularly the NYC imports, flashed their moves to the music, half of their opponents were beaten psychologically by the opening tip.

 

And here's a MacDaddy of an intro...

 

All of "Whammer Jammer" is awesome, including the intro - and Peter Wolf was always great at those.

 

The Wolf... man, I don't want to think about what his knees feel like, all the jumps to squats and the like that he did night after night.
