If all you want to do is set the mode, you can do that on the *second*
line of the file. From the "Major Modes" node of the emacs manual:
,----
| You can specify which major mode should be used for editing a certain
| file by a special sort of text in the first nonblank line of the file.
| The mode name should appear in this line both preceded and followed by
| `-*-'. Other text may appear on the line as well. For example,
|
| ;-*-Lisp-*-
|
| tells Emacs to use Lisp mode. Such an explicit specification overrides
| any defaults based on the file name. Note how the semicolon is used to
| make Lisp treat this line as a comment.
|
| <snip>
|
| When a file's contents begin with `#!', it can serve as an
| executable shell command, which works by running an interpreter named on
| the file's first line. The rest of the file is used as input to the
| interpreter.
|
| <snip>
|
| When the first line starts with `#!', you cannot (on many systems)
| use the `-*-' feature on the first line, because the system would get
| confused when running the interpreter. So Emacs looks for `-*-' on the
| second line in such files as well as on the first line.
`----
so:
#!/bin/bash
# -*-sh-*-
