    When we compiled our Best Opening Lyrics, we knew we'd break your little hearts by leaving off some of your favorites. We were also pretty darn sure you'd let us know. Here are the 25 you shouted about the loudest. Hey, no hard feelings.

    "I guess I shoulda known
    by the way you parked your car sideways
    that it wouldn't last"

    --Prince's 'Little Red Corvette'

    Prince is brilliant, i can think of a few better ones than what was posted.
    1. "In France a skinny man died with a big disease with a little name." (SIGN O'THE TIMES)
    2."I was working part-time in a five and dime,my boss was Mr. McGee." (Raspberry Beret)
    3."Until the end of time, I'll be there 4 U, U own my heart and mind, I truly adore U." (ADORE)

    How could the line "People try to put us down, just because we get around", from My Generation by The Who, not make this list?! It should be #1.

    What about, "Her eyes are black, loose shades of grey, oh it's so lonely" .... *Griffin Layne*. I heard him on myspace. Great artist.

    or "when I'm gone, I feel what's left and I paint it for myself".

    Sick lyrics!
