I would say the three second drum intro to "Jaime's Crying" is way more effective.

Tone Loc agrees 100%

I voted for "other" a.k.a. "Hot for Teacher".  It said "Show Your Work", must've forgot my pencil.

Didn't he have a sundae bar on his bass?

I vote "Mean Streets" because it has some of the craziest EVH shredding at the beginning, also the song has cursing which made me like it when I was 13.
