<p>What&#39;s the first thing that hooks you? Before the vocals kick in, before the chorus lands — it&#39;s that opening riff that either grabs you by the collar or lets you walk away. This week, your ever-enthusiastic host Jamie Ray sits down with the legendary Dame Judy D. to count down their Fave Five opening song riffs that stop you dead in your tracks.</p><p>And here&#39;s the twist: we&#39;re keeping it off the fretboard entirely. No guitar heroes here — this episode is a love letter to the keys, the brass, the bass lines, and every other instrument bold enough to open a song without a six-string in sight.</p><p>From the iconic to the unexpected, Dame Judy D. brings her signature wit and encyclopedic music knowledge to a list that might just change the way you listen to the first five seconds of a song.</p><p>(And yes — we know. &quot;Stairway to Heaven&quot; is not on this list. Move on.)</p><p>🎵 Tune in, make your own list, and let us know: did your favorite make the cut?</p><p>Links can be found on our profile page and at www.linktr.ee/hulkboy.
