Songs that begin with other than music (effects, sounds etc)

You know the kind of thing: "Black Sabbath", "Time", "Powerslave". What songs do you know that open with not music, but sounds or effects like maybe thunder, wind, bells, chimes, screaming, laughter etc? Instrumentals are ok too, like this one...

Bomb the music industry has a bunch like that.
I also know a few with ones at the end instead of the beginning.

I think Rick Wakeman was using the moog synth to recreate the sound of thunder(?) and wind. The sound effect is easy to do with a synth, it's done with white noise generator.

Thinking about the Flaming Lips they seem to have quite a few

Flight Test with the spoken opening, and reverb effects all around.

The static that opens up Chewin On The Apple of Your Eye

The outdoor ambiance on both Sleeping On The Rooftop, and Jesus Song No.7

And the weird electronics that start off 7 Skies H3
