Some good choices above
2 song intros that make you smile and feel good about life:

'Do I Love You' - Frank Wilson (the Northern Soul classic)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwvpeYiQwss&feature=related
----------------------------------
'Whatever You Want' - Status Quo

The song commences with a quiet introduction, containing a guitar playing notes from chords.
This lasts for approximately 26.54 seconds, and fades out towards the end.
After this, the guitar picks up once more with a D-minor riff, and 40 seconds into the piece,
the familiar D-major riff of the song begins, accompanied by drums from the 56 second mark.

At 1 minute, 11 seconds, all audio pauses for approximately half a second; at this point, the lyrical portion commences

... and it's all downhill from there
