Greatest opening lines of opening songs on albums?

[spacelordmother]

Ween - You fucked up, you bitch, you really fucked up

First line, first song, first album. Those boys know how to jumpstart a career!

[D.o.S.]

Shuffle laying down gold for this thread:


Why did you buy this album? I don't know why you did, you're stupid
The super flow with more jokes than Bazooka Joe
A mix between Superfly Snuka and a superhoe
Chew a MC like El Chupa Nibre
Digest a group and sell the poop on eBay


What is a booty and how will I know if I’m shaking it?
What is the funk and how will I know if I’m faking it?

I AM A PATIENT BOY
I WAIT I WAIT I WAIT I WAIT


Mister Marvin Middle Class is really in a stew
Wond'rin' what the younger generation's coming to
And the taste of his martini doesn't please his bitter tongue
Blame it on the Rolling Stones.


One Sunday Morning A Preacher went a'trawlin'
and into a house of fuck he come a'callin
And my door's always open sidelong and oblong,
for the right, and for the wrong.


Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I only want you to have some fun
I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin', coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple, There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction, you know I didn't even care

SOMETHING I LEARNED TODAY
BLACK AND WHITE IS ALWAYS GREY

On that wavelength:
How young are you? How old am I?
Let's count the rings around my eyes

AIN'T LOST YET, SO I GOTTA BE A WINNAH

[christianatl]

NOTHIN' FUCKIN' MATTERS ANYMOOOOOOOOORE

Oh you.

For me, personally:

Xiu Xiu/Always: "If you are wasting your life, say hi
If you are alone tonight, say hi
If you wish he should die, say hi, hi-hi, hi-hi
If you have a hole in your head, say hi
If you have a stitch in your wrist, say hi
If, when you look at the sky, it is black and shredded"

I will forever sing along to Against Me/As the Eternal Cowboy:
"The party's over,
A CD's skippin'.
It's the same hook repeating.
Grows more grating with each passing second."

Or, the near surrealist (whatever that means) lyrics of Wilco/Yankee Hotel Foxtrot:
"I'm an American aquarium drinker,
I assassin down the avenue.
I'm hiding out in the big city blinkin'.
What was I thinking when I let go of you?"

But really, it's all about

I'VE BEEN CALLED A SINNERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

THAT S/T DAUGHTERS RECORD IS INCREDIBLE.

Hell yes.

500 channels of a day-dream stimulation
helps me to resent my life and raise my expectations.

And all the children sing, "We hate love! We love hate!"

Hell must know
there have been worse things I've done

Boat on a hill, never going to sea. Anchored to a fixer upper's dream.

loaded stadiums, or ballparks"

Hey, Monkey Boy, why you unemployed?
'Cause I'm jammin'

500 channels of a day-dream stimulation

This. The Dangerdoom and Fugazi you picked rule too.
But Choking Victim? I completely forgot about that record.

CRACK ROCK STEADY!
ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?

[GardenoftheDead]

Shoot the kids at school,
All in a bloody pool,
I'll show the teachers too,
CUZ THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO
