[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Most early Ramones songs.

Good one. Also made me think of the fake band "Sex Bob-Omb" in the movie (and possible in the original graphic novel, can't remember) Scott Pilgrim vs the World -- loved how the drummer always opened the song with a rapidfire count.

Other count-off classics: 

Woolly Bully by Sam the Sham and the Pharaoes

Patience by GnR

Multiple Beatles songs (I Saw Her Standing There, Taxman).

[Juxtatarot]

I take one, one, one 'cause you left me 
And two, two, two for my family 
And three, three, three for my heartache 
And four, four, four for my headaches 
And five, five, five for my lonely 
And six, six, six for my sorrow 
And seven, seven for no tomorrow 
And eight eight I forget what eight was for 
And nine nine nine for a lost God 
And ten, ten, ten, ten for everything, everything, everything, everything
