QUIZ: Can you identify the famous song from the opening line?

JOE

First impressions count.

Think about the greatest songs of all time and the chances are that many of them have serious lyrical hooks at the start.

Whether it’s Bob Dylan singing about rolling stones or Ice Cube introducing himself on ‘Straight Outta Compton’, many a classic tune starts with a killer line.

“Now this is a story all about how my life got flip turned upside down.”

The chances are you’ll have the theme tune to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air stuck in your head for the rest of the day after reading that. Sorry, but it shows the power of a great opening line.

Anyway, we thought we’d test your knowledge with these memorable openers to famous songs. Can you match the line to the artist and song?

We’ll be impressed if you can get 15/20.

Good luck!
