What's the best first 10 seconds of any song?

Be My Baby. Tons of bands have tried to start a song exactly like Be My Baby thinking it's been long enough that we all forgot Be My Baby.

I adore that song.
It's powerful on its own but I'll never forget the first time I heard it while listening to the album in order. From the first couple seconds really I was in a trance. Gorgeous beat, gorgeous lyrics, it's a timeless feel good song for me.

Was going to go with Black Sabbath's Iron Man... but that was more like a 30 second intro.

So here's Paranoid, instead, with an unforgettable riff that winds you up before the kickoff. :D

Semi-Charmed Life came to mind for me, the drums are hype right from the jump. The "do do do" part starts at exactly 11 seconds in
