'Money for Nothing' by Dire Straits.
Not that I'm a fan but it's a cracking intro.

[v64paul]

the o'jays, backstabbers! the intro starts with a bare piano and builds into a brilliant vocal. angie stone sampled it in i wish i did'nt miss you anymore for all you young un's...

[Ward-Minter]

Without a shadow of doubt it has to be David Bowie's "Absolute Beginners"
