What's the best opening line of a song...ever

Damn!!! Two posts for "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine"
That was the first one I thought of.

 

Heeeat will rock you,
The Heeeeeat will roll you

Spoiler

 

Maybe it was no one's fault, I know it wasn't mine. - Minor Threat

 

The song that kicked in the hippie's door, and brought us into the seventies.

"Cat's foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man."

"Wouldn't it be nice if we were older, then we wouldn't have to wait so long."

-Beach Boys-

 

"I heard there was a secret chord, that David played and it pleased the Lord, but you don't really care for music do ya?"

 

Man I love that song, especially the late Jeff Buckley's version! The video rocks, but his teeth kind of frightened me a little...

"Hello, Imagine yourself and a link on a chain, the chain is wrapped around someones mind," - PM Dawn

Rocket River

 

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read

- Big Bottoms, Spinal Tap

 

A recent contender:

I thought I was a loner till I went out on my own - Smith westerns "Varsity"

 

"Nothing is easy, though time gets you worrying, my friend it's okay."
-Jethro Tull

"Hey, didn't I see you at the Sizzler last night?"
-RevCo


Most of the best first lines are better with the lines that come next.

 

Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

 

This one's called Stella was a diver and she's always down

 

I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar - How Soon is now, The Smiths

Before you slip into unconsciousness, I'd like to have another kiss - The Crystal Ship, The Doors

 

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein
Werewolves of London

don't **** with me, don't **** with me

-jai paul, btstu

 

I don't know about opening line, but the best opening to a song for me is Sweet Child O' Mine

 

'We don't need no education..'

'Won't you come see about me, I'll be alone, dancin' you know it baby!'

'Whoa, my love, my darlin, I've hungered for your touch..'

'You never close your eyes any more when I kiss your lips.'

'Travelling in a fried-out Kombi, on a hippie trail, head full of zombie..'

'You ain't nothin but a hound dog, cryin' all the time!'

'Stood still on a highway, I saw a woman, by the side of the road..' (Gold Star for anyone who knows this one)

'She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene..'

'They told him don't you ever come around here, don't wanna see your face, you better disappear!'

'Ground Control to Major Tom..'

'Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots, and ruined your Black-Tie Affair..'

'She's got legs! And she knows how to use them!'

'I can feel it, coming in the air tonight..'

'For the benefit of Mr. Kite, there will be a show tonight on trampoline..'

'The lights are on, but you're not home, your mind.. is not your own..'

'On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair..'

'There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold..'

'A long long time ago, I can still remember how that music used to make me smile..'

'It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in..'

'Goodbye Norma Jean.. though I never knew you at all, you had the grace to hold yourself when those around you crawled..'



Dang... there's wayy too much great music out there..

 

ROFL, I was about to say this. Good thing I checked, first page for the winnnnn.

 

maybe because the first line is nothing but AHH.
