Disclaimer: What you see isn’t perfect thread title. Would be useful if smb. English-friendly advised apt title.
This is interesting topic, looks like. You listen to songs by different people & hear many interestingly structured/ lined-up songs. F.ex., I deem it really cool when song starts with, say, melody, next hi-hats start, next bass is joined etc. till everything else simultaneously. I’d like people bring songs with such steps. To begin & to give idea,
New Zealand Trading Company ''Could Be''
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgHz9MM073s
Hearts and Flowers ''Please''
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A9EIXUeeFI
The Kaleidoscope, U.S. band's original "Please"; distinct steps
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-b_uECsdBc
Secret Service ''L. A . Goodbye''
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDD5Y4VinWI
The Gladiolas - "Little Darlin'"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHsSkI81Sgk
The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band ''High Coin''
https://youtu.be/MLc_T-JQQ4I?t=24
Jan & Dean "Jennie Lee"

Who's next.

Nice idea, RR. The title's fine--the important thing is everyone knows what you mean.
Captain Beefheart's "I'm Gonna Booglarize You, Baby" is the one I thought of first because of your mention of hi-hats.
1 - Guitar I (funky rhythm)
2 - Guitar 2 (slashes)
3 - Bass joins guitar 2
4 - Hi-hat, possibly snare
5 - Vocals

ISAAC HAYES' skills as a composer/arranger brought this concept to a high artistic place:

Perhaps "Pass the Hatchet" by Roger and the Gypsies?
This was a regional hit back in the day. Good old fashioned 60s hometown funk.

If I understand what RangeRover is saying correctly, these are usually called layered openings.
Tons of great examples. One of my favorites:

A lot of the records that Norman Whitfield produced by The Temptations are like that. Probably the most well known is "Papa Was A Rolling Stone".

If you mean parts that enter in succession I agree. Maybe it's my cloth ears but I don't hear that in "YATSOML"...
Here's a sterling example of what I think RR means: it's the title track from Robert Fripp's 1979 solo album
Exposure.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzFsDQeTUT4
The successive entries are as follows:
1) Guitar tremolo
2) Spoken text (J.G. Bennett)
3) Drums
4) Guitar loops ("Frippertronics")
5) Bass and "XPOSURE" spelled out by Fripp and Eno
6) Piano
7) Rhythm guitar
6) Title screeched by Terre Roche

This is off topic, but I never noticed the similarity of the beginning to "WATSOML", and then beginning of Dennis's "You And I".

In YATSOML, the layering includes the vocals.
1. Keyboard and drums
2. Male vocals
3. Female vocals and background singers
3. Stevie Wonder and trumpets
One of the most well done song openings ever IMO.

Thanks, S-a. I stand corrected. I must listen to it again--properly.

SBonilla, checked the Isaak Hayes link, it says "Not available in your country". Could you bring different link with it? Thanks in advance.
I wouldn't catch layers in "Sunshine" either if SA didn't explain - it's difficult to do in this specific song.

You know, I had
no idea
that was another singer on those first two lines! Cloth ears, you see. And I've never looked at the wiki page. It's Jim Gilstrap of "Swing Your Daddy" fame (followed up by Lani Groves).
That's a stroke of absolute genius! There's one other song I can think of right now where the first verse is sung by someone other than the principal singer. Brian May does that on his composition "Who Wants To Live Forever". It's chill's-down-the-spinesville when Freddie takes over for verse two--my goodness.

In a way, it does.
So does this, in a way. It's "The Intro And The Outro" by The Bonzo Dog Band:

"Frikadelki TV" by St. Petersburg band Soup Chic (pun at "supchik", diminutive in Russian to "sup"="soup").
Slap bass joined by piano, it joined by bass, it joined by drums, it joined by banjo, it joined by acoustic guitar, it joined by tambourine, it joined by whistles, it joined by harmonica, it joined by tube, it joined by canon singing vocs.

That sounds like a classic example. Pity it's not on YouTube--at least I couldn't find it, even in Russian.

Good call there, B.E.. Tommy James was responsible for some highly original singles.

It suits this thread. Thanks. Incidentally, that band never been favorite. I find their songs really abrasive, ear-attacking, singer's voice very not my cup of tea.
