Red Hot Chili Pepper's Can't Stop really fails to deliver on the promise of its first ~30 seconds, to me, which is 'The Most Badass Display Of Prowess You've Ever Seen Is About To Take Place', like the most gonzo anime-ass K.O. is about to happen, and then it just... Goes into a suprisingly mellow RHCP song.
It's a nice song! I like listening to everything after the intro, but... I really enjoy the trope of the super-dramatic-epic-walk-up like they're winding up a baseball swing in slow mo or brandishing guns akimbo...
Actually - do you know any examples like the above? Scenes from media that have the kind of intro/music/windup that Can't Stop has, but actually delivers on that promise? I'm sure I know more, but I can't think of any, for the life of me.
Baby Got Back, Sir Mix-a-lot
maybe Sabotage by the Beastie Boys
Um
Hmm
This is actually harder than I thought
