What's the best intro to a song?

I think it's got to be Gangsta Gangsta by N.W.A

oh shit man them black gangsters are at it again. I wonder who they fucked up today

(Screeching tires)

YOU! MOTHERFUCKER

(Gunshots)

Got him!

 

and then there's the bit after

Yo Dre give me a funky ass bassline

Right Here!

(bass)

Other contenders for me are smells like teen spirit, insomnia by faithless (the version which goes straight into the dums), Voodoo Chile by Hendrix, Stockholm Syndrome by Muse, One armed scissor by At the Drive-in, Fight for your Right to Party, Rappers Delight, Delivery Driver by glc, The Message by Grandmaster Flash, Snowcats by Bad Company, Lovecats by the cure, Sunshine of your love by Cream, and Firestarter.

This is a mix of intros by Osymyso, download it it's great and has lots of classic intros.

Shine on You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd.  7 or 8 minutes of perfect guitar intro.

[Barry Scott]

Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

And as a Prog House lover, which is all about buildups, I have to mention a few classics. Van Bellen's remix of John Johnson's Impact is something of a classic and Narcotik's Blue also has a crazy good intro.
