(To amazingglass4U) Anything with a beat is music, and anything that is music is a song.

I don't think this song should be #2 on readers' choice of best opening lines, especially topping so many other better ones(but it should be on here).

The haters should at least appreciate that it's not on this site's official list.

Also, I heard that this song was actually "weirdly feminist" from VH1's best video's of the 90s back in 1999. One line reads, "those silicon parts are made for toys", possibly meaning breasts should be real. I think the whole song means he's talking about women who don't starve themselves or alter themselves being sexier than women who do.

But yeah, great opening memorable line(which the list was about), but should've been much lower on this particular list.

Welcome to the Jungle would've been a great choice too.

NO NO NO! There isn't anything great about this line! Who the heck decided to put it here? Where are all the potent metaphorical openings? The lines are getting worse as we get nearer to nuber one, it seems!

This is your idea of the 2nd best opening lyric ever?

You need some serious seat time in a writing class, because on the STUPID SCALE, this line ranks at or near the top!

You guys are douche bags. Maybe your complex, edifying writing classes can teach you to lighten up.

The fact that people bought this crap was even more shocking than the fact that he produced it in the first place. Talk about dragging human beings down to the level of animals. This guy and his ilk treat women like meat. Get out! No, really. Get the hell out!

I was surprised that, on either list, THIS one did not make it:

"Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games."
