To me, it depends. If a song has a great intro, I'll probably listen to the music, first. Then there are songs which the opening words kind of grab me and make me listen to the message.

It was "Within You, Without You" where I first paid attention to what was being sung rather than the music supporting it.

Years later, as a DJ, I was playing Atlanta Rhythm Section's song "Don't Miss the Message" and thought yeah! Gotta listen to the words 'cause there may be more there that what the music is saying.
