- Ed’s Redeeming Qualities, “Pegged In The Head With a Lawn Dart”
Not sure why I like this one so much. Seems to capture something.
- Billy Joel, “It’s still Rock and Roll to Me”
OK. It’s Billy Joel. What are ya gonna do? He could have been the “rick rolled” guy.
- 4 Hr. Ramona, “Any Day Now”
Classic Seattle band 4 Hr. Ramona. Try asking your local reference librarian this question.
- Beastie Boys, “Egg Man”
One of my all time favorite rock couplets. Fun to say over and over.
- Cake, “Sheep go to Heaven”
One of my favorite “is it deep or not” lyrics. Just two dumb silly lines, but if you look at them with a tilted head, it becomes a profound statement. Or, then again, maybe not. Like one of those 3D-style photos that shows you two images depending on what angle you look at it.
- Modest Mouse, “Float On“
- Kenny Rogers “Just Dropped In”
What condition is your condition in?
- Social Distortion, “Ball and Chain”
The great thing here is how much they are able to fit into so little. With just two lines of poetry, you get a detailed vision of a moment and a life.
- The Clash, “Death or Glory”
The “test by research” part kills me.
-melodynife, “Yours Eternally”
I’m going to start off with my favorite 2-liner from my brother’s band. Also my favorite “so shallow it’s deep and vice versa” couplet.
