And...
Valparaiso - Sting - Vinnie Colaiuta
In Her Drawer - RX Bandits - Chris Tsagakis

There are many more, but listing them would detract from how much I love these two intros :)
 
Honkey Tonk Women - Rolling Stones

Gotta give Charlie some props for cowbell syncopation.

It's a great intro and beat....and tune. I wonder if it's Charlie playing it, though. It's overdubbed, you can hear it all through the song. I used to do it live, and managed to keep the high-hat going, too. But Charlie didn't do that. In fact, unfortunately, there's no cowbell in any live version I've heard.

But it's a classic. One of the most recognizeable first 2 seconds of any rock song.
