Friday OT #1 - Resonance

[Angie]

What are some song lyrics that have truly resonated with you, and with which you identify/that you try to model actions after/that you just really, really like?

"Never trust a big butt and a smile." - Bell Biv Devoe, "Poison"

 

[Gossamer]

"i like big butts and I cannot lie." - Sir Mix A Lot

 

[BCClone]

Relax, don’t do it.

Frankie goes to Hollywood.

 

[BCClone]

I’m spunky, I like my oatmeal lumpy — humpty dance.

 

[3GenClone]

Whenever I'm driving and someone is on the fence about merging I quote the first line from Rancid's "Time Bomb":

"If you wanna make a move, then you better come in"

 

[SCyclone]

For some reason, a lot of Billy Joel and Harry Chapin songs come to mind. Those guys really tell stories, and I think those lyrics ring true for lots of people.

"....and as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me....he'd grown up just like me....my boy was just like me." (and not in a good way!)

 

[MeanDean]

I can't do what ten people tell me to do, so I guess I'll remain the same.

 

[oldman]

You can't always get what you want...

 

[BCClone]

Seeing how I live in hillbilly heaven, Eminem kind sums that up at the beginning of without me

“two trailer park girls go round the outside, round the outside”

I am taking it literally and not the suggestive nature of it. Also, I do know it’s stolen from somebody but don’t remember who.

"If you wanna make a move, then you better come in"

I have a similar driving line from Soul Coughing when someone is plugging up the fast lane.
“Step aside and let the man come through,let the man come through.”

 

[JMA1125]

“The waiting is the hardest part”

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

 

[pulse]

Standin on the lawn doin jiu jitsu
Girl in a bikini with the Lamborghini shih-tzu

 

[Entropy]

"I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change."
-Radiohead, Lucky

 

[Doc]

"I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change."
-Radiohead, Lucky

Oh, that's such a good moment on that album.

 

[cytor]

Why in a world of ugly faces
should I, be allowed to be so hot
So many people without talent
yet I was born with all the magical gifts I got
The perfect body, the perfect face
it's like god's best work all in one place
But the haters hate perfection
Can't you see
It's a burden being wonderful like me

 

[cytor]

One in a million, are the odds we face
One in a million, That's a chance I'll take
Cuz when the moment comes, I'll take my chance with you

 

[cyclones500]

God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
— "Bastards of Young," The Replacements

 

[Gonzo]

God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
— "Bastards of Young," The Replacements

We could be here all day with the Mats. Here's one I've always liked:

Cerebral rape and pillage, in a village of his choice
Invisible man who could sing in a visible voice

- "Alex Chilton," The Replacements

 

[Gonzo]

The dog lifts his gaze to plead
Believes the wizard has a magic stick
Leans his weight into my tweed
I give an unholy hand to lick

- "Yon Two Crows," Mark Knopfler

 

[Farnsworth]

One of my goals for the new year is to return to being an optimistic person, so I'll decline as lyrics are mostly negative.
