classic intros

[splange]

Can anybody help - I need to think of a pop song that has a classic intro, the type that is instantly recognised from the opening bar, before a word has been sung, like the piano intro in 'I Will Survive' etc. I would appreciate as many suggestions as possible. I know there has been a similar post but most of the offerings are heavy rock, this has to be upbeat. Thanks folks!

Holding out for a hero has a really recognisable intro... as does Bohemian Rhapsody. Just look on any CD of Greatest Hits of all time or classic love songs etc.
