I Totally agree! I love love love the beginging of Shhh. Another great intro is "For you" yeah i know it's not a song intro but it is the intro to one of P's best albums!
Doesn't it make you smile when you realize no one was there to see the stupid thing you just did?

When you hear the first seconds of these songs you know what's coming. They are very distinct.

Yeah, the movie version is fantastic, sends chills everytime I hear it.

I also love the NO! at the beginning of Alphabet Street. And the extended version of Raspberry Beret with the cough - a brilliant, quirky touch.

CO-SIGN!! I've always loved Alphabet St. I even like the Bluesy version a little.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

Although not my favorite, I always smirk at the "ooohhh" at the beginning of Musicology!

Here's one no one else has mentioned yet: "2 nigs united 4 west compton".... then BANG straight into the jam!

There's so many. I'll say this though, "SHHH'' is the first song that came to mind for me. Blazin'! That version of the song they did in Bangkok or wherever that was a year or so ago was dang near perfection.

I've always been partial to that opening to the long version of Raspberry Beret. The one where he coughs. I always thought that one was really cool.

Stupid question. Of course it's "Let's Go Crazy". I've never even dug the song as a whole that much personally speaking, but that intro...

hug Thank you! biggrin

It's strange, my friends think that I've come from "Pluto" because of my musical taste is so different... lol

Anyway... thank you again, it's very kind of you! biggrin
