Songs with off-beat intros that confuse you when the drums kick in...

I've noticed that a lot of songs I own have kinda 'false' intros (or at least I get tricked when listening to them). I mean songs where the riff starts with an anacrusis and you start getting into it until the drums come in and then it kinda 'resets' your brain to where the first beat really is!

I can name a few but anyone know any others??

Soundgarden 'Rusty Cage'
Elbow 'Mirrorball'
Super Furry Animals 'Pan Ddaw'r Waw'r' and also 'Sarn Helen'

I love being thrown by rhythms!
