Other than "Money", this is probably the most iconic. Can't believe nobody's mentioned it yet.

You actually posted a video without the start fade-in. But that's a good call anyway.

You May Be Right starts with breaking glass
Sometimes a Fantasy starts with with a phone dialing
Sleeping with the Television On begins with an audio recording of the national anthem playing from a television.

All three of these songs appear on Bill Joel's Glass Houses. I remember when I bought this album back in the 80's and noticing that so many of the tracks started with an effect. I know I have others that feature an effect before, after or during a song, but I don't think any of the albums I owned before started so many tracks off this way.

Another would be Tough Guys by REO Speedwagon. The song starts with an audio clip from the "Little Rascals".

Just about every Techno-Industrial/EBM song since about 1988 or so

How THE hell did I forget this..Just listened to it..don't know if it's already been mentioned..don't think so..

Paranoid - Grand Funk Railroad

I'll be damned if that air raid/tornado siren isn't more terrifying somehow than "War Pigs" by Sabbath!
