Songs that start with the chorus

[GuitarGeek]

That is, songs where the first thing that's sung is the chorus. Thought of this while reading the "Songs with no chorus" thread:

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (the verses are the bits with the iconic fuzz guitar riff, the chorus is the bits where the fuzz guitar drops out...so technically the song starts with an instrumental verse, but when Mick starts singing, it's the chorus, which is kind of the inverse of what you hear with a lot of songs)

Hawkwind's Kings Of Speed also starts with the chorus

Fat Bottomed Girls starts with that acappella chorus

Anyone got any other examples?

[ThomasKDye]

"SHOT THROUGH THE HEART! AND YOU'RE TO BLAME!!!!!!"

"I JUST DIED IN YOUR ARMS TONIGHT....." must have been something I ate.

And in a slightly more proggy category..

"No, no, not this confused again, no, no, not the same mistakes again, you're taking it all too hard..."
