    Not sure if that counts, but it cracks me up. Sweet Leaf is the undisputed champion of songs starting with a cough on a loop.

    "I will now proceed to entangle the entire area." Intro to "Almost Cut My Hair," CSNY.

    Jimi Hendrix also had a couple of good ones: the stoned conversation over the saxophone solo at the beginning of Rainy Day, Dream Away," on Electric Ladyland, and the rap right before, "Machine Gun," on Band of Gypsies, in which he dedicates the song to, "all the soldiers fighting in Chicago and Milwaukee, oh, and all the soldiers fighting in Vietnam."
