Daniel Amos Message Board | Print: Just ONE stupid line please!

Just ONE stupid line please!

Greetings,

OK, just ONE stupid line from one song, please, that has always bugged ya.
My pick:

"Sittin' on the sofa with a sister or two."
-The Beatles from "Lovely Rita"

That is unquestionably THEE stuuuupidist line in the history of music IMHO. Such a great song; such a horrible line. A non-sensical line like that doesn't fit such an otherwise great song.

What do you think is THEE stuuuuuupidist line that anyone ever threw into a song?

Take care,
Jim

A song from the karate kid 2 soundtrack

If I knew back then
All the things I know today
Baby, I wouldn't change a moment
'Cause I learned so much from my mistakes"

Really bad logic at play here. Yikes. I can't believe someone actually wrote this....

"Thatan, bite the dutht!"

Sorry, just couldn't help myself...

Good one.

And shouldn't this be on the off-topic side?

Posted by Mark on 09-05-2002 at19:01:

Yes. I think people don't often realize where they are. Maybe it's because they drank too much bathtub gin.

OK I heard that your bathtub was now nearly empty. You've been drinking it again, haven't you?

Okay, here's a line (from a good song, too) that makes Grammargee cringe. See if you can guess why. It's from the song "Giving It over" on the latest Newsboys album:

"Greed is the word, it's a verb / wants to bind us all."

The amazing thing is, that pathetic line was actually written by the brilliant Steve Taylor...

"I always wanted a shirt like Mark wore", but at least they knew it was just filler.

D&K

"Sun Hot - Snow Cold
Knife Sharp - Spoon Dull
Socks Stink - Flowers Don't"

(The original song, not the Eddies...)

HMMM

I mthink
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two
is a good line-
its conatation (to me)is he likes the girl-
but can't get alone with her.

I also like
"I always wanted a shirt like Mark Wore
The double button type rifleman shirt was very cool when I was growing up
Anyway-WORST LYRIC
goes to 2nd Chapter of Acts-
Singer Sower Record (can't remember what song)

"Satan knows well
that he has fell"
Peeewwwhhhhh!

Posted by jc on 09-06-2002 at10:03:

grammatical error
(or is it grammerical Adder?)
Heh-

Sounds like the missing link between TST & the Tuxedo Clad Megastar (aka "the Don Henley of CCM") to ME... Tongue

How's this for lame: "I never dreamed that I could be holding you, well it's making my dreams come true". By 4-Him.

If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
