    I've always liked how "Hey, Johnny Park!" opens up.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    Good call.

    I always like Where Eagles Dare from Iron Maiden. Great opening for the song and album. It is also a great announcement for the arrival of the new drummer (at the time!), Nicko...

    The OP named two of my faves...Hot for Teacher and Rock'N'Roll.

    Hard to handle is another one I like....I am having trouble thinking but those three def qualify
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river
