Are Fridtjof Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I'm doubt that I'm the only one who ever froze after having heard a brilliant line.

behindblueeyez Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I don't know for coolest... but the funniest to me, just because of the wording, was "In the desert, you can't remember your name cause there ain't no one for to give you no name." -America, Horse With No Name (I think it was America anyway...)

bluesboy Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 One of my favorite cool lines is from - Tom Petty's Breakdown ('76) It's alright if you love me, It's alright if you don't I'm not afraid of you runnin' away honey, I've got this feeling you won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambchop Flansburgh Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Your post quotes Petty, but your signature is Dylan. Where does one start with the cool/funny Dylan lines? Romeo, he said to Juliet, "You got a poor complexion. It doesn't give your appearance a very youthful touch!" Juliet said back to Romeo, "Why don't you just shove off If it bothers you so much."

edna Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 "Bob Dylan´s 115th dream": "I was riding on the Mayflower...etc." I mean, the whole song. I posted this before... and many other Dylan´s songs...Bob Dylan is the funniest rocker in which refers to the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 From the song Third Rate Romance (don't recall the band, maybe The Amazing Rythmn Aces): "She said, 'I've never really done a thing like this before. Have you?' He said, 'Yes I have, but only a time or two.'" Rereading it here it doesn't sound exactly cool or funny, but in the context of the song, it is both.

guitarshredder Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 There?s something very strange about grandpa He used to wear his pants hiked up as far as they would go And now he wears them sagging around his waist so his adult diaper shows He only speaks in ebonics, and he keeps asking for the chronic. -larry weaver ~grandpa's gone gangster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 OK, I´ll post it, this one is (I find...) the funniest... it´s from 1965. BOB DYLAN´S 115the DREAM I was riding on the Mayflower When I thought I spied some land I yelled for Captain Arab I have yuh understand Who came running to the deck Said, "Boys, forget the whale Look on over yonder Cut the engines Change the sail Haul on the bowline" We sang that melody Like all tough sailors do When they are far away at sea "I think I'll call it America" I said as we hit land I took a deep breath I fell down, I could not stand Captain Arab he started Writing up some deeds He said, "Let's set up a fort And start buying the place with beads" Just then this cop comes down the street Crazy as a loon He throw us all in jail For carryin' harpoons Ah me I busted out Don't even ask me how I went to get some help I walked by a Guernsey cow Who directed me down To the Bowery slums Where people carried signs around Saying, "Ban the bums" I jumped right into line Sayin', "I hope that I'm not late" When I realized I hadn't eaten For five days straight I went into a restaurant Lookin' for the cook I told them I was the editor Of a famous etiquette book The waitress he was handsome He wore a powder blue cape I ordered some suzette, I said "Could you please make that crepe" Just then the whole kitchen exploded From boilin' fat Food was flying everywhere And I left without my hat Now, I didn't mean to be nosy But I went into a bank To get some bail for Arab And all the boys back in the tank They asked me for some collateral And I pulled down my pants They threw me in the alley When up comes this girl from France Who invited me to her house I went, but she had a friend Who knocked me out And robbed my boots And I was on the street again Well, I rapped upon a house With the U.S. flag upon display I said, "Could you help me out I got some friends down the way" The man says, "Get out of here I'll tear you limb from limb" I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too" He said, "You're not Him Get out of here before I break your bones I ain't your pop" I decided to have him arrested And I went looking for a cop I ran right outside And I hopped inside a cab I went out the other door This Englishman said, "Fab" As he saw me leap a hot dog stand And a chariot that stood Parked across from a building Advertising brotherhood I ran right through the front door Like a hobo sailor does But it was just a funeral parlor And the man asked me who I was I repeated that my friends Were all in jail, with a sigh He gave me his card He said, "Call me if they die" I shook his hand and said goodbye Ran out to the street When a bowling ball came down the road And knocked me off my feet A pay phone was ringing It just about blew my mind When I picked it up and said hello This foot came through the line Well, by this time I was fed up At tryin' to make a stab At bringin' back any help For my friends and Captain Arab I decided to flip a coin Like either heads or tails Would let me know if I should go Back to ship or back to jail So I hocked my sailor suit And I got a coin to flip It came up tails It rhymed with sails So I made it back to the ship Well, I got back and took The parkin' ticket off the mast I was ripping it to shreds When this coastguard boat went past They asked me my name And I said, "Captain Kidd" They believed me but They wanted to know What exactly that I did I said for the Pope of Eruke I was employed They let me go right away They were very paranoid Well, the last I heard of Arab He was stuck on a whale That was married to the deputy Sheriff of the jail But the funniest thing was When I was leavin' the bay I saw three ships a-sailin' They were all heading my way I asked the captain what his name was And how come he didn't drive a truck He said his name was Columbus I just said, "Good luck."

marko90 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 "Love is the only invincable feeling, Pure, yet haunted, given its the only thing we need but when given too freely from the needy we dont want it, So we lose it, Spend our days tying to find it, when we find it we spend our days walking blinded, Blinded by happiness, Jealousy for the most part confused, Hate to love it, but I do, and them are the love sick...Blues" That is the spoken part at the end of "Love sick Blues" by Kyprios I love this song right now, its a rap song but I'll deal with it!!!

Tybalt Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Cool There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway A song that they sing when they take to the sea A song that they sing of their home in the sky Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep But singing works just fine for me ~ James Taylor, Sweet Baby James Funny (This might need the context and the special delivery) I gave him the money He acted real funny He hocked up a rock and It totalled my car!
