Reba McEntire - "If I Were A Boy" Y'all can hate on that song all you want, but there is no question that the rich texture of the low ranges of Reba's voice commands attention from the very first note  |

I agree with the previously mentioned songs “Brother Jukebox”, “Don’t Rock the Jukebox”, and “Why’d You Come In Here Looking Like That” as those are probably my top 3 favorite cold opens. More recent ones that I love would be “Diane” that .indulgecountry mentioned and “If I Die Young” mentioned by Cody Wants Out.... Here’s a few from George Strait that I know of off the top of my head: “The King of Broken Hearts” “You’re Right I’m Wrong” “My Life’s Been Grand” “If Heartaches Were Horses” “Let’s Fall to Pieces Together” almost counts but there’s about one second of intro from the steel guitar lol |

“Let’s Fall to Pieces Together” almost counts but there’s about one second of intro from the steel guitar lol There's quite a few songs like that. Jason Aldean's "You Make It Easy" has just over a second of faint music before the vocals kick in. The radio edit we played of "Legends" by Kelsea Ballerini had a 1.3 second intro before the lyrics kicked in, which I think is super annoying lol. Either keep the whole intro or have it be a true cold open. James Otto's "The Ball" is another cold open. |

How Am I Doin' by Dierks has like one guitar strum before the vocals start - which is why I haven't posted it already, lol. |

A few of mine: * "Make a Little" and "Burn Out" by Midland * "Thinkin' Problem" by David Ball. "Yes, I admiiiiieeeeeeeet..." * "Atlanta Burned Again Last Night" by Atlanta * The radio edit of "Heart Hold On" by the Buffalo Club had a neat cold open. * "The Door Is Always Open" by Dave & Sugar * "Fall Into Me" by Emerson Drive. "Right here waiting, staying strong, come and fall into meeeee..." WHAM. No idea why they cut that from the radio edit when it's only 2:30. * "Down the Road" by Kenny Chesney/Mac McAnally * "Let the Heartache Ride" by Restless Heart Also, lest we forget... BOB THAT HEAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!Just kidding. |

Ten Pound Hammer, some programmers in radio don’t like cold opens. Some even edit out cold opens just for their station. If it’s live, on-air personalities have to manually put a stop in to talk before the song starts. I’m guessing DreamWorks did them the favor by editing out the cold open for “Fall Into Me”.

Reminds me of when WKJC used to do their own edits of songs. They actually cut the bridge out of "Stuck Like Glue" themselves (and thus remain the ONLY station I've ever heard that objected to that song's bridge). They also cut "kiss my ass" out of "Drunk on a Plane" and just let the song skip a beat there. I think this was because at the time, they sped up all their songs about 5% to fit in more jibber-jabber and commercial breaks (I've actually heard FIVE MINUTE ad breaks on this station, and as few as TWO songs in an entire hour). My mom is friends with the PD and he said that they've stopped doing this, however, and they play songs at normal speed now. |
