1, 2, 3, 4 can be so bland. What ways have people started out sounds live that you've really liked?

Many Ramones songs start out "wu'whofreefore!"
(har-har-har)

At the Drive-In's Enfilade has the kidnapper "hyena" (Iggy Pop!) dialogue. "H-hello?..."
"hello. I have yr cub... [...]"

A good few Refused songs from The Shape Of Punk to Come start out with cool speechs and things.

Thee Silver Mountain Reveries' (SMZ... alter-form) More Action! Less Tears!
starts out with a cool little spoken/yelled part.
"Hellllooo? Heeellooo? There wil*mess up**laugh* Hellllooo!? Heeellllllo! There will beee a meeting of the action committee in fiiiiive minutes! The name of this song is! More Action! The name of this song is! Less Tears! The name of this song is, One-two-three-four!" *song starts now*

When playing string quartets, I used to have to start us of sometimes, when I had the lead in movement - I would make eye contact with everyone and then slightly give the downbeat with my body followed by a quick breath and motion upward that was the upbeat. That should be enough to give the tempo. Very similar to a conductor.

1 2 3 4 5 6....... roasd runner road runner....
the cool groans at the begginning of cannonball by the breeders...

i like how poly styrene starts each song on x ray spex's germ free adolecence by houting thename of the song (ie, "some people say little girls should be seen but not heard, oh bondage up yours!," or "my mind is a plastic bag....")

Any song intro by Warren Ellis of the Dirty Three. Just listen to a live recording of them and you'll understand.
