What's the best intro to a song you ever heard?

I'm an oul 60s head so I'd have to go for something like Jumpin' Jack Flash, Like a rolling stone, River deep mountain high or similar.

Anything else out there?

60s:
Last time - Rolling Stones

70s:

Superstition - Stevie Wonder
Blinded by the light - Manfred Mann
Lola - Kinks
Boys are back in town - Thin Lizzy
Atomic - Blondie

90s:
Verve - Bitter sweet symphony

love the intro to U2 'where the streets have no name'. Much more than the song itself, i often skip it on after the intro..
