Like the title says, what are your favorite lyrics?

I just heard one of my favorite verses today:

“In a seedy karaoke bar by the banks of the mighty Bosporus Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits”

    Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.


    Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma’s a removed, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.

    – Electric Six, (It Gets a Little) Jumpy


    Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air ⋅ Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire ⋅ This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys ⋅ Who sing their way into our hearts ⋅ Backstreet’s back, alright

    – Electric Six, Jimmy Carter


    Next thing that I did was tap out Morse code ⋅ With a wooden nickel on the receiver of the phone ⋅ Before I could complete it, I was quickly overtaken ⋅ By the angry spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan

    – Clutch, X-Ray Visions
