Great intros that lead to disappointing songs

I was just thinking about this while listening to "because you're young" off Bowie's "Scary Monsters".   It has a really great intro that gets me excited every time I listen before I remember that the song isn't all that great.  

 

What other songs can't live up to their promising intros?

This is a really, really good discussion topic.

 

Unfortunately I can't think of anything right now. So if my post was made into song, it would work quite well here.

Slipknot's first single off their newest record, "Psychosocial" has a great intro, and then just sounds like a bad Metallica rehash...

Crazy Train. I love the intro, but after that... blah. It looses all excitement.

^ Seriously? I could not disagree more. Crazy train is full of Randy Rhoad's excitement.

Most Van Halen songs 

 

The opening of Lamb of God's Wrath album is so epic that it could not be sustained and I wish that weren't the case.

Oh yeah. How about Metallica's "Enter Sandman"?

 

And Dream Theater's "6:00". The opening drums are fantastic. A lot of progressive music has a great intro but falters in the end once all 27 instruments have entered.

Enrique Iglesias's "Tired Of Being Sorry" had a nice intro. It went downhill from there.
