Bon Jovi's "Living On a Prayer" used to always trick me into thinking it was some synth-pop hit I didn't already know.

Though it definitely is: Nice Intro! Nice Song! Jump On It never fails to trick me into thing it's going to be an electro banger closer to Afrika Bambaataa than Bar-Mitzvah party rap.

definitely no shame about the song here, but very high (and disappointed) expectations after the intro

Not a shame about... but
The start of Nancy Sinatra's 'These Boots...' is killer, then just kind of a generic song.

it's probably a sample, in which case would like to know what

abbott, this is where our musical tastes part ways. I love that song.

i agree re: "livin on a prayer" though apparently people think that song is actually good or something.
i was going to say "from this moment on" by shania twain... but my opinions on the intro and the actual song both fluctuate constantly. sometimes i think one is amazing and the other is terrible. sometimes i think they're both amazing. sometimes i think they're both terrible. which is it?

"Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" starts out as a Byrds songs and winds up a Creedence song.

the opening to Van Halen's "Right Here, Right Now" overshadows the verses and chorus by a long shot

I used to hear this song a lot where I worked and always thought it had a really interesting intro but then after 15 seconds it just turns into the same old shit he puts out time after time.

I always think this was "One More Chance" up until Ashanti starts mewling
btw can I just say lol at Terrence Howard in the video

I like Swing Out Sister's "Breakout" but the first couple seconds would have you thinking you're going to hear some pensive, moody Pet Shop Boys-type song of heartbreak.
― spanikopitcon (Abbott), Monday, 9 August 2010 21:11 (2 years ago) Permalink
i don't dislike the song or anything, but the piano intro here should really be used as a sample, by someone very rich.

Bullet with Butterfly Wings..."Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage" is probably the closest a chorus of a song has ever come to resembling the auditory equivalent of a dog-turd...(still not quite as bad as "Let Down" though...)

"This Love" by Maroon 5 is IMO OK, and way better than anything else they've done, but it still doesn't quite hold the same standard as the brilliant intro:
