What songs have the most recognizable first couple of notes?

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet:

My Bloody Valentine, "Only Shallow"

Best opening of the '90s. Period.

and of course the song it was clearly ripping off

I swear I heard somewhere that the signature riff came out of freestyling/improvisation during a case of "writer's block". All the same, if those opening notes don't bump your heart rate, I think you can be declared legally dead.

(And yes, I know this song was featured a few weeks back in "best songs with a person's name as/in the title", but it was too juicy to pass up)

Oh jeez I hadn't even considered show tunes. This is going to be a hard list to narrow down.

Oops! Missed that one back there dem. guess I'll have to think of at least 1 more original one to post...

Though to be perfect, it needs Doom sounds superimposed..

At first I wasn't sure if this would count, but:

SERIOUSLY, I missed another one?! I swear I'm reading them. Apparently all of your subliminal messages (blatant answers to my questions) are infiltrating my brain.

EDIT: I should clearly be exempted from doing work today because of such careless mistakes. CHAOS could ensue. Back to the internet for me today!

To the Gothic Castle please.
