Top 10 Songs that Start with a Lyrical Cold Open

What on earth is a lyrical cold opening? I stole it from the website TV Tropes, who call it a Lyrical Cold Open (I decided that the word "opening" sounded better). Basically, this list is about songs where the lyrics come in at the very beginning of the song. No intro, no riff, no fade in, nothing. These songs don't have to start off acapella (though they can); it's okay if an instrument plays along with the vocalist at the very beginning. Feel free to add to this list; if you do, tell me more about how each song starts.
The Top Ten
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?" I think it's fair to say that all of you just recognized that and probably sang along too.

Phenomenal song with a phenomenal a cappella opening - possibly one of the most famous of all time. Screw Lil Meerkat's cover, by the way.

Supper's Ready - Genesis

"Walking across the sitting room, I turn the television off." I find it interesting that one of the best '70s prog songs starts with the vocals coming in straightaway.

One thing's for sure, this exquisite song should rank above Bohemian Rhapsody.

Nowhere Man - The Beatles

John, Paul, and George sing the intro a cappella in harmony.

Ruby Tuesday - The Rolling Stones

The song starts with Mick Jagger singing, "She would never say where she came from." It makes you wonder where he's going next.

What is and What Should Never Be - Led Zeppelin

Robert Plant sings the line "And if I say to you tomorrow," right before the band comes in.

Some Nights - Fun.
Basket Case - Green Day
Demons - Imagine Dragons
We are the Champions - Queen
Please, Please, Please - James Brown & The Famous Flames

The song starts with James singing, "Please, please, please, please!" at the top of his lungs. Way to get people's attention.

The Newcomers

? Particle Man - They Might Be Giants

Particle Man jumps right into the lyrics simultaneously with the lilting accompaniment.

? Red Red Wine - UB40

This Neil Diamond-penned tune from 1968 originally starts with Diamond singing with a drum downbeat: "RED. RED. WINE." UB40 also began the lyrics with a cold open and turned it into a reggae staple, adding a drum, bass, and syncopated keyboard rhythm track.

The Contenders
Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen
You Give Love a Bad Name - Bon Jovi
The Crystal Ship - The Doors

Jim Morrison sings the first two words by himself and finishes the phrase with the rest of the band.

Sky's the Limit - The Notorious B.I.G.
Mother - Pink Floyd

The song starts with Roger Waters and his acoustic guitar, asking, "Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?"

Buddy Holly - Weezer

The most brutal opening ever. The vocals are perfectly synchronized with the singing.

Another Brick In the Wall, Pt. 2 - Pink Floyd
Thank God It's Christmas - Queen
Carry on Wayward Son - Kansas
I've Seen All Good People - Yes

The band sings the intro a cappella. This was the first Yes song I ever heard. The harmonies blew my mind.

Fuel - Metallica

Why was this not on the list? "Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire!"

One of the best Metallica songs.

All Star - Smash Mouth
Whatever It Takes - Imagine Dragons
Natural - Imagine Dragons
Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis

This is the first one that came to mind. I should have known you'd already have it covered. Ha!

"Well, since my baby left me, I found a new place to dwell." That's probably one of the most iconic song intros from the '50s.
