We come from the land of the ice and snow,

From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

Hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new land,

To fight the horde, sing and cry: Valhalla, I am coming!

Pomptastic!

OK, the intro is a bit tedious, but "Throw down the Sword" is the start of a great song.

You never listen to a word that I said
You only seen me
For the clothes that I wear
Or did the interest go so much deeper
It must have been
The colour of my hair

If you want an EPIC intro, then it has to be none other than .....Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd.

It's 7 minutes long, and quite frankly, I much prefer the intro to the actual song.

Sadly, it doesn't seem to have a black tie percussionist, so falls at the first hurdle.

Opening line was it? Ahem:

"Punctured bicycle, on a hillside desolate..."
 
We're all going on a summer holiday.
No more working for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on a summer holiday.
No more worries for me and you.
For a week or two.

There's a very fine line between being scared and concerned.
Since I don't like to say I'm scared I say I'm concerned.
But you know what? I really might be a little bit scared.
Yes?

Um, could you tell me a bit about the mechanisms on your bike?

Well, it's a skycycle actually, honey. It's not a bike. A skycycle.
There are only two skycycles in the whole world and I have them both.
I had three, but the third one is in the bottom of the Snake River Canyon.
