Ugly on Purpose

In listening to as many versions of Think Of Laura as I can find, I discover something.  The intro is ugly on purpose.  Somebody thought the song wasn't long enough or too repetitive or too soft so they added something hard on the front- Christopher Cross doesn't do anything like that in concert.

Somebody thought that in the short time of the intro, few people would change the station, and then when the soft rolling and repetitive phrases arrived it would be soothing and add some drama resolution and interest.
