Tuesday Favorites… Greatest Single Line in a Song

[ThreatMatrix]

"Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9"

Beatles in case you didn't know.

That song would be a lot better if it hadn’t been so overplayed. From that same album, just about all of “All I really want” is great. Like GBM said, tough to narrow down to just one.

As much as I tried, I couldn't do just one single line. Songs tell a story. So many songs are full of great lines.

I’ll submit:

Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it

So this whole thing was a sham? You don’t even believe in what you’re selling?

 

[ThreatMatrix]

Has to be a single line. hmmm

Jimmy Buffet

Margaritaville​

Yes, and some people claim
That there's a woman to blame
And I know, it's my own damn fault

15 will get you 20... Is a much better quote by Jimmy. The esteemed philosopher has so many to choose from though.


We got to roll with the punches, play all our hunches, make the best of whatever comes your way

Weather is here, wish you were beautiful

If a hurricane doesn’t leave you dead, it will make you strong. Don’t try to explain it, just nod your head. Breathe in, breathe out, move on

Some of it’s magic and some of it’s tragic but I had a good life all the way

Where it all ends, I can’t fathom, my friends. If I knew I might drop my anchor

Life is a journey that’s not measured in miles or years, but in experiences

"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice".


I can do this all day.

We are the people our parents warned us about

Congrats. You just bumped NOLA and his Jimmy Buffet line out of “worst so far” spot.

Kind of the nature of the thread, no?

 

[bradgator2]

Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men

Touché It's a message board. It's what we do best.

Ah crap…. I see threat’s post above. That’s cool

There's nothing deep or philosophical about it, but between the music and his voice and the way words are dragged out, I'll always love...

Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antenna bristle with the energy

 

[Detroitgator]

Let's face it... a LOT of songs are like Seinfeld episodes... they don't have just one great line/segment, they are just classics in their totality

You gonna put a period after that touché?
