MindCrime Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Posted May 21, 2009 For rap... "We been spending most our lives living in a Gangsta's Paradise..." Not rap, but from the same exact time... "Don't go chasing waterfalls"
_Laurie_ Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 When they sang "dont go chasing waterfalls"...I always thought they were saying "dont go chasing mothballs"....that's what it sounded like to me....
Viaene Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 "Don't ask me cause I don't know but it's like that, and that's the way it is!" Now that's a very knows Run Dmc line because even my professor of mathematics knew it. He used it as a quote on one of our exams
MindCrime Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Posted May 22, 2009 We all need somebody to lean on A-B-C as easy as 1-2-3 At first I was afraid, I was petrified, thinking I could never live without you by my side
shardsofme Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 and iiiiiiiii will always love yoooouuu lol what the world needs now is... love sweet love. and then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on... i wanna hold your hand... little ditty, bout jack & diane..
pinkstones Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 I think Pink Floyd has a couple: "Money, get back...." "Hello? Is there anybody in there?" Most people know those songs even if they aren't fans of the band or have heard anything else. As for other more recognizable lyrics, I would go with these: "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave." "Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona...." "Is this the real life, is this just fantasy?" "If I leave here tomorrow...."
Epiphany Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 "It doesn't matter what you wear Just as long as you are there" "Take me to another place Take me to another land" "It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away"
Dappled Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 "Wish I was a Kellogg's cornflake Floating in my bowl making movies" Maybe not the most recognizable lines, but nice!
BlueAngel Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 I was always partial to Rice Krispies myself. "Snap, Crackle, Pop, Kellogg's Rice Krispies!"
Steel2Velvet Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 "I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night; and still have begged for more."
Endymion1977 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 I didn't read through all the pages, and it was probably suggested already, but the most recognizable lyric line ever is most definitely... "she's got the jack"
JackieBlue Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Oh Geeze...there's like a ton in my head, but here's just a few: "People dancing, people laughing a man selling ice cream" "Check the mirror, we're looking fly, round up the posse" "Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies" "And he's talking with Davy who's still in the navy" "It's a traffic jam when you're already late" And the probably the monster of them all: "I'm not much into health food I am into champagne"
Farin Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 I believe its AC/DC Farin... not any song I know, I'm afraid and I only immediately recognise two of your examples, Jackie (and I wouldn't call them "most recognisable" from these songs even...)
JackieBlue Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 "People dancing, people laughing a man selling ice cream = Saturday In The Park "Check the mirror, we're looking fly, round up the posse = Just Got Paid "Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies" = Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds "And he's talking with Davy who's still in the navy" = Piano Man "It's a traffic jam when you're already late" = Ironic And the probably the monster of them all: "I'm not much into health food I am into champagne" = The Pina Colada Song I guess like previously stated in other posts, one man's hit is another man's miss.
_Laurie_ Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 I recognized all of them except the second one...
Farin Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 "It's a traffic jam when you're already late" = Ironic whoa! I know that song very well and didn't recognise it at first
Farin Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 I guess like previously stated in other posts, one man's hit is another man's miss. yeah, that's true... for me to make a line one of the 'most recognisable' ones, means that (almost) everybody reads the line and immediately thinks of the specific song the best examples have been given early in the thread...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 "Check the mirror, we're looking fly, round up the posse = Just Got Paid. Woop woop! Where've you been, child? We miss you!
little Rascal Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 She had My balls in a vice but she left the dick, I guess it's still hooked on but now it shoots too Quick!....(Frank Zappa Bobby Brown). I played it at my My kids Party last Year. Their friends will never forget that One. & My kids won't let Me forget it either!!
bluesboy Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Man, I love the way Zappa's music brings families closer together.
