Best beginnings of Prince songs?

We had best endings earlier... what about beginnings?

I'll have to go with :
Sometimes It Snows In April
7
Thunder
Delirious


In no particular order
Just A Girl...

Best intro is DEFINITELY "When Doves Cry"...

But here are some others:

Michael B's swift drum fill intro to "Shhh"

"The Beautiful Ones"

Rhodes line intro for "Mellow"

"Oooh-oooh" from "Musicology"

the drip drop sequencer at the start of "Sign O the Times" and then Prince singing "Oh yeah!"

The extended beginning of "If I Was Ur Girlfriend" (album version)

The beautiful muted trumpet at the start of "Adore" and then the lovely Rhodes flourish into the verses.

thumbs up!

I'm so glad I scrolled down instead of just typing away...this is pure camp and guitar vamp. The words...only a teaser of the melodrama/cheesiness that is our man sometimes. "Oh sinner man..."

Oh LAWD yall...I'm gonna havta go to bed sometime...too many beginnings:

Temptation
Tick Tick Bang (too funny...we used to add, gotta pee to that intro. loved the song tho)
Tambourine (BASS)
Irresistible Bitch (funny...KDAY in LA edited out the word Bitch and I think it was better that way. Best thing about this song was how no matter where you were/are, you will hit the end of the first beat doin some kinda move)
17 Days
Stick (beginnings of the dance called The Nasty)
Nasty Girl
If I Was Your Girlfriend
Do U Lie (used to play accordion and speak French, sorry)
Adore (If U wasn't gettin booty by this song ur chances increased tremendously...and if u weren't)
On the Couch (makes u make that fonky, LAWD the hammond organ, take me now face)
Man o War (Y U Screamin...too funny)
AnnaStesia
Billy Jack Bitch (cuz it seemed so much louder than the other songs...plus ya can update it to Billy Jack Beeyach...and Fishbone's on it)
