Sum up a song using a single lyric from it!

Yeah, I'm snowcloning that thread from the Film subforum.

• "The day the music died..." Don Mc Lean, "American Pie"
• "Got to be a joker, he just do what he please." The Beatles, "Come Together"
• "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY SEXY LA-DY" Psy, "Gangam Style".

This opening post will never become dated.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

I walk alone like a concrete lion in the concrete wilderness. Somewhere deep in the concrete jungle is a concrete lioness.

Concrete - The Darkness

We'll make heaven a place on earth!

EAT HIS BODY DRINK HIS BLOOD, THEN WE SING A SONG OF LOVE!

But baaaaby, eh, I loove you, OOHH

TRAYIN TELL YOU NO, BUT MAH BEDY'S GET ME SO ATTA BRETH, EH

Clique, clique, clique, clique, clique

This beat is a shit, feces

Booty booty booty, boom bo-bo-boom boom boom bo-boom boom, drap

If you wanna PM me, send it to my mrsunshinesprinkles account; this one is blorked.

I remember being surprised when I opened up the booklet in Slash's first solo album to find there weren't any lyrics written in it. Instead it listed the songs near the back with an excerpt taken from them.

• Ghost: Wipe the blood from your halo, open wound that you hide your shadow's pride.
• Crucify the Dead: The thorns are not around your head, your ego cut you till you bled, you cannot crucify the dead.
• Beautiful Dangerous: I hear the thunder thumping, and my heart starts jumping, and that's when I spin on the pole.
• Back From Cali: You'll have to carry me back from Cali, the angel city where the devils play.
• Promise: A heaven's light shined down upon you and the whole room filled up with life.
• By The Sword: With the horses that you ride, and the feelings left inside, comes a time you need to leave all that behind.
• Gotten: Maybe it's a bitter wind, a chill from the pacific rim that brought you this way.
• Doctor Alibi: Doctor, I ain't gonna die, just write me an alibi.
• Watch This: Watch this.
• I Hold On: Conscience fades and some let go but I hang on cause I know.
• Starlight: As the fallout of a world divided, it brings her tears and so much pain.
• A Saint is a Sinner Too: What's coming for you is coming for me, I hear the choir sing, calling me on back to you.
• We're All Gonna Die: Gee I really like your tits. I'll say anything that fits.

• Jumping jack flash is a gas, gas, gas! The Rolling Stones - Jumping Jack Flash
• Live and learn! Hanging on the edge of tomorrow! Crush 40 - Live & Learn
• Let's get started, Ready Steady Go!! L'Arc-en-Ciel - Ready Steady Go!
• Gone in a second, ultimate destruction! Kidneythieves - God In Fire
• And the one who's last to fall...the winner takes all! David Glen Eisley - Sweet Victory
• It's gonna be a brighter day... Richard Jacques - Can You Feel The Sunshine?

Don't stop, just proceed, 'cause this is what you need-proceed, just proceed, 'cause this is what you need!

'And I know, it's only rock and roll, but I like it!'

Actually, this line perfectly sums up not only that song, but also my stance in the whole Beatles - Stones debate. I prefer the Stones over the Beatles because while the Beatles' material was ten times more complex and innovative, the Stones win on energy and emotional intensity. So, the Stones' music was much simpler (hence 'only'), but it rocked more (hence 'rock and roll').

Mache dich, mein Herze, rein...

x4. That's kind of a cool idea. The closest thing I can think of for another band doing that is Nirvana's Nevermind - instead of a lyric sheet it just has one long paragraph of cryptic sentences that turn out to be one line each from all of the songs *

... But I don't think they were meant to sum up the songs as a whole (and maybe you couldn't do that with most of them, because Kurt Cobain loved his Word Salad Lyrics).

Technically, this is a couplet, but it's too perfect:

go into the woods and live with the bears
that way you can kill someone and nobody cares

I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.

Well, I'm a HUGE Three Days Grace fan (As you may see) So I'll do the album One-X.

1. It's All Over: It's all over for yooooouuuuu.....

2. Pain: Anger and agony are better than misery....

3. Animal I Have Become: I can't escape this hell....

4. Never Too Late: Maybe we'll turn it all around cause it's not too late.

5. On My Own: Lied too much, I think that I've had enough.

6. Riot: If you feel so angry just get up....

7. Get Out Alive: "Don't put your life in someone's hands, they're bound to steal it away."

8. Let It Die: You blame me but it's not fair when you say that I didn't try.

9. Over And Over: It's dragging me down and I can't pull away, so here I go again.

10. Time Of Dying: I will survive.

11. Gone Forever: It's coming clear that I don't need you here, and in this world around me, I'm glad you disappeared.

12. One-X: We are one.

I am expressing multiple attitudes simultaneously. To which are you referring?

Aw, hell, I'll do Abbey Road:

1. Come Together: "He say, I know you, you know me / One thing I can tell you, you just got to be free."
2. Something: "You're asking me, 'Will my love grow?' / I don't know, I don't know."
3. Maxwell's Silver Hammer: "Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead!"
4. Oh! Darling: "Believe me when I tell you, I'll never do you no harm."
5. Octopus's Garden: "*while gargling* AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaaaah, aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAaaaaaaaah, AAAaaaaAAAaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
6. I Want You (She's So Heavy): "I want you so bad, it's driving me mad, it's driving me—"
7. Here Comes the Sun: "Little darling, it's been a long, cold, lonely winter."
8. Because: "Love is old, love is new / Love is all, love is you."
9. You Never Give Me Your Money: "But, oh, that magic feelin' / Nowhere to go."
10. Sun King: "Everybody's laughing, everybody's happy."
11. Mean Mr. Mustard: "Dirty old man"
12. Polythene Pam: "She's the kind of a girl who'll make the News of the World!"
13. She Came in Through the Bathroom Window: "Sunday's on the phone 'til Monday / Tuesday's on the phone to me."
14. Golden Slumbers: "Sleep pretty darling, do not cry / And I will sing a lullaby."
15. Carry That Weight: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY YER GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT, CARRY THAT WEIGHT A LOOOOONG TIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!"
16. The End: "And, in the end, the love you make is equal to the love you take."
17. Her Majesty: Just listen to the whole damn thing, it's not even half a minute long.
