Terrible sing openings

Following on from my thread on great song openings (which has been fun to listen to)

Can I now have your suggestions for terrible song openers (with or without a good song to follow)
I just heard (again) the new song by Elton John and someone else. The opening "Never too late never too late.." make me just want to turn the radio straight off. It really sets my teeth on edge 😆
The rest of the song is meh but inoffensive.

Of course the title should say song not sing

Actually one of my absolute favourite opening lines purely because of its terribleness. David Bowie's Station to Station - 'The return of the thin white duke, throwing darts in lovers' eyes'.

The entire extended instrumental intro to the song is fabulous and, if you watch the live version on Youtube, after it builds to crescendo, when he comes on alone and sings that line.....
