I'd like to nominate Van Halen's "Jump" for worst intro. I was so excited when that song was coming out. My buddy and I rushed home to hear it on the radio. And then I heard keyboards... from Van Halen. What the duck? Any time I see the music video and Eddie is smiling and playing the keyboard I want to throat punch him. Strap on the guitar and stop the nonsense.
I refuse to post a link to the song.
