I have never heard a better 1-2 opener than "Begin the Begin" and "These Days" from R.E.M.'s "Life's Rich Pageant." Those two are so perfect together it's almost jarring when you hear them separated…

"…this is important, this is important, this is a clue."

I've watched it twice and I still die laughing wen LaFonda goes, "We'll call her 'Woodword,' because calling her 'Deep Throat' would be too on-the-nose."
