What's your favourite dish?
I'm not gonna cook it but I'll order it from ZANZIBARRRRR!!

-F**k her gently, Tenacious D

(possibly the only line in the song that I can post on a "family" site)

good idea

song lyrics have some wonderful quotes hidden in them.

"they took off their shoes and bared their souls"
-Fly, Moxy Fruvous.

Math

"Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun."

The Beatles (I am the wlarus is the name I know the song by)
Perhaps the only line in that song that makes sense.

Well, since I Am The Walrus is the actual name of the song, you're probably ok.

Best song lyric ever:
He had the same obsequious manner
That was the reason I had him killed

They Might Be Giants

"Throw me to wolves,
because there's order in the pack,
Throw me to the sky,
because I know I'm comming back."

"The story of a woman on the morning of a war,
Remind me if you will exactly what we're fighting for."

"Pour my life into a paper cup,
Ashtray's full an' I'm spilling my guts,
She wants to know am I still a sl*t,
I gotta take it on the otherside."

RHCP.

What about songs that use quotations?

Like the Pretenders quoting (approximately) Oscar Wilde in Message of Love 'We're all of us in the gutter/but some of us are looking at the stars'

"A former cop, undercover, just got shot, now recovered."
IEAIAIO sung by SOAD
Chauncey

"Paranoia Paranoia everybody's comin' to get me
Just say you never met me
I'm runnin' underground with the moles, diggin' holes

Hear the voies in my head I swear to God it sounds like their snoring
But if you're bored than you're boring
The agony and the irony they're killing me."

Flagpole Sitta, Harvey Danger

This is . Here's mine, more Beatles: (and completely random)
"... Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, the girl with kalidescope eyes..."
From "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"

"How about the power to kill a yak...from 200 miles away...WITH MIND BULLETS?!?!?"

Wonderboy, Tenacious D

DZ

that's telekinesis, Kyle

or maybe just coercive telepathy (make them THINK they've been hit by mind bullets, and they're as dead as they think they are)

Oooh, snazoo knows his Tenacious D! Bravo!

"how 'bout the power...to move you..."

DZ

*posting just because I can... *

"And you say, the teachers never taught you anything but white lies"

Elvis Costello - New Lace Sleeves

"It comes all shapes and sizes
It's something you can never buy
Don't wait until it's over
Before you say it's all been fun
Obituary columns are filled with love "

From Shapes And Sizes, by Joan Armatrading.

She is IMHO a musical genius.

Where was I? I forgot
The point that I was making
I said if I was smart that I would
Save up for a piece of string
And a rock to wind the string around
