Best intro to a Prince song?

After much deliberation, I have to go with:

"Don't hate me coz I'm beautiful"
- Prettyman

Only because it makes me LMAO! lol

I also love the Let's Go Crazy intro. Classic.

COMPUTER BLUE

I am currently experiencing the 83 First Avenue concert over and voer again and the live intro of that version is amazing.

Just that beat, then Prince announcing the song; "This song is called Computer Blue"

Remember; the studio version was not released until 84 and this was it's FIRST live outing. Amazing. Gives me goose bumps again and again

When doves cry is my favourite.

Worst intro to the greatest song ever has to be The Beautiful ones. The first 5 seconds.

- Oh yeah!! I remember that, even when I hated Prince and his music back in the 80s, I would always stop whatever I was doing to listen to this one on the radio. Fantastic guitar work and moaning. The solos are great also.

Peace

Aw, hell no! That synth-y gurgling intro is awesome. It's there so when the keyboards kick in they really wake you up. It's like a shot of adrenaline.

One intro that I am still digging:

"1+1+1=3"

Very moody, eerie, stuff going on (even the "Darth Vader" voice adds to it), then the drum slowly and quietly kicks in, and then comes that killer, wicked bass line. A fantastic intro that just creeps up on you and before you know it you are grabbed.

The "1+1+1=3" intro really reminds me so much of The Doors' "The End."
