"the opening" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their fifth album World Coming Down, released in 1999. This brief, 11-second "joke intro" plays the staccato noise meant to sound like a track is skipping on a CD player before it ends with Kenny Hickey yelling "Sucker!" On the cassette version, it sounds like the tape is being "eaten" by the cassette player.
