Not just a thread about great intros, but where the intros are great but the rest of the song is a bit of a let-down, inspired by Mini Viva's Left My Heart In Tokyo, love the Japanese-y sound and then the disco bass drop, but think the song is a bit meh..

Tina Moore's Never Let You Go and Mariah Carey's Honey both for me great, make you sit up and take notice intros followed by average songs, any other suggestions?

Girls Aloud - Sexy! No No No

It is a good song, don't get me wrong, but the intro electro-techno-autotune bit is genuinely AMAZING. I love it.

There isn't really an intro which is different except for the sound of kids. The music at the start is repeated in the song a few times.

Still an awesome song, though.

Where The Street Have No Name-- U2. Simply amazing and still the best live song I've ever heard.Sheer adrenaline rush every time

I don't really take much notice of intros if the song isn't catchy enough to keep my attention the whole way through.

Love the beginning of "Plug In Baby" by Muse... the rest of the song just bores me though!

Love etc-Pet Shop Boys

I absolutely love the whole song but the intro was definitely better than the rest

Famously, Spaceman by Babylon Zoo

I think it had the biggest first week sales of any single ever (or something like that) after the intro was featured in a Levis add, then PLUMMETED out of the charts as the actual song was NOTHING like the introduction

Only recently heard it, but Sails of Charon by Scorpions. The intro is brilliant, and then it goes downhill with some ricockulous overblown lyrics.

More so with the Slipknot remix, IMO.

New York - Paloma Faith. Although the intro is repeated as the outro too.

Get Back - The Beatles, the rest of the song is good, but no where near as good as that build up

Gimme More 'It's Britney Bitch' - Britney Spears
for me it's the best intro for a comeback plus everyone who went to tour went crazy just by hearing that line.

Yep, think that's the ultimate great intro on an average song for me- I had it on a mix tape at the time with the entire middle bit cut out, so it was just 45 seconds or so of the speeded up intro and the fade-out, that would have been a great, short single!

I think the record it held was for biggest first week sale for a debut single, subsequently broken by Britney, then Hear'Say then Will Young?
