That whole album is brilliant,sad that he could only make one.:(

My vote:I wanna be Adored
And Where the streets have no Name.

[b_mcsweeney]

there's a song called the day that curly billy shot down crazy sam mcgee by the hollies which has a good intro, but the rest of the tune doesn't really match up.

love spreads and i wanna be adored by the roses are both good.

always liked solomon bites the worm by the bluetones too.

sweet child o'mine by guns and roses is good and all.

ah, there's too many really. if i had to pick one though, the drum and bass intro to big bottoms by spinal tap. now that's rock with a capital R (all the ways up to 11).

[wws]

forget about intros - ure hollies title is a mouthful in itself

[Gary]

Some Snoop Dog song from album "Doggystyle"
*school room setting*

Teacher: Today we gonna talk about careers, you, little girl at the front, what do u wanna be when u grow up?

Little Girl: I would like to be a police woman

T: Thats a good profession, you, little boy, what u like to be:

Boy: I would like to be a fire man

T: Thats a pretty good profession too, you, down back, with the Fench Braids, what would you like to be

French Braids: I wanna a be a Mudafcuking hustla, ya'll better call somebody.

I wanna a be a Mudafcuking hustla an' you betta axe (ask) somebody !! .... and the rest of that song is cool. It makes you feel like going out and poppin' a cap in some fools ass that be trippin' or some sh!t !!

Shnizzle Wizzle !!! :D

[Gary]

I stand corrected. I just even realised that before i read that.

[A face]

Actually ... i can remember Ice T have a song that started out with a woman talking for about 2-3 minutes about social problem and upset etc. (she has used the word antiestablishmentarianism) and in the last sentence she then changed her tone (turned it on kinda :) ) and when speaking about Ice T she said that she "was totally on his díck"

You'd have to heard it is suppose but it was along the same lines as the last one.




*turn the peak of you baseball hat to the side, stand as if you are closer to the monkey than evolution intended, click you fingers at your 'homies' and repeat the following in an LA south central twang*

check out his cd "seven deadly sins" including the classic "i always wanted to be a ho"

[Ruairi]

actually speaking of Aphex Twin, the intro to Powerpill Pacman is class too....

Just some weird voice saying "Insert coin", followed by the pacman music, funked up a bit with a wicked beat. Quality

Kick Out The Jams by the MC5

[MikeW]

Can't believe nobody has mentioned this classic intro about his love of big butts by the man who was knighted for his services to mixing:

"Oh my god, Becky, look at her butt
It is so big
She looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends
Who understands those rap guys
They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute, ok?
I mean her butt
It's just so big
I can't believe it's so round
It's just out there
I mean, it's gross
Look, she's just so...... black!"

Was listening to a CD in the girlfriend's house last night and immediately thought of this thread. I've stayed out of it so far because I fear that I could be badly sucked in. Anway...
