Bubblemath - Making Light of Traffic. Sounds of a summer evening and someone opening and closing a car door.

The Storm's You Keep Me Waiting opens with thunder and rain effects, setting a dramatic tone for the music that follows.

Money by Pink Floyd features the famous intro created by splicing together recordings of coins being rattled and a cash register ringing.

What tracks do you know that open with environmental sounds? For example, VdGG's Darkness (11-11) opens with the sound of wind, which actually seems like a common way to open a track. It doesn't have to be the wind. For example, Close To The Edge opens with what could be described as sounds of a rainforest. The sound of ocean waves or the seaside is another way a track could open. Or perhaps thunder. However, the sounds need not be of nature. For example, street noise could also be chosen to open a track. Such sounds can be unaccompanied or accompanied by instrumental or vocal sounds.
 
For each track listed, preferably with accompanying video, please indicate the environmental sounds used to open the track.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
