3 simple words - You Enjoy Myself

 

I've got to second that one. First song that came to my mind.

 

I also like the nod to Candy's Room. An underappreciate tune there.

I LOVE how "Via Chicago" begins. I was listening to Summerteeth while driving a good friend home the other day, and VC started playing, and after hearing "I dreamed about killing you again last night / and it felt alright with me" my friend told me she thought that was an excellent opening. Coming from a HUGE poetry fan, I accepted that compliment on Jeff's behalf.

 

And I've always been a huge fan of the intro to "Romance In Durango," a lesser known Dylan song. The imagery is INTENSE. "Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun / me and Magdelena on the run." Such a vivid opening to the song, which has a very central American getaway vibe to it.
