I would absolutely agree that this post has zero to do with good story telling and everything to do with having some quick creative fun. Nothing wrong with that, right?

That said, in the context of music, musicians often talk of "best opening songs on an album" or even the "best first lyric of an album."

I've always enjoyed Becks "Put your hand on the wheel, let the golden age begin." but yeah, it's not as prevalent as analyzing a first line of novels. Which is like judging and ice rug (gonna leave that typo -cuz why not) by the small bit you can see above the water.
