Christian rock?
No offense meant. I honestly don’t know.
@Ssounder, what are you referring to? The songs before yours are The Walrus and Time, and your last post was It’s Too Late… not a Messiah in the mix.
My error. Should have quoted.
I was referring to Dr._Paprika’s lyrics above.
I’m not trying to make an issue out of it.
As said, this Shakespearean quote is in a short speech near the ending to I Am The Walrus (Beatles). It’s not really the best single line in music, but it has some class.
A whistling woman with a comb in her hand is abomination unto the Lord!

But in the town it was well known when they went home at night their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them within inches of their lives.

“We have to shout above the din of our Rice Krispies.” -The Police
I didn’t find anybody else mentioning that the source is King Lear, Act 4, Scene 6.
John wanted something random for that part of the song, so they tuned to one of the BBC radio stations, and that’s what was playing.
Roger Waters line in Pink Floyd “Echoes”
Strangers passing in the street,
By chance, two separate glances meet,
And I am you, and what I see is me
One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer. George Thorogood and the Destroyers. Saw them in New Orleans at Tchoupitoulas, they tore the house down. Great showmanship, amazing singer and guitarist.
Bad To the Bone and Move It On Over are pretty cool lines of theirs too.
Very similar to the Beatles “I am you and you are me and we are all together”.
“One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” is not a Thorogood original.
ETA:
“Move It On Over” is a Hank Williams cover, IIRC his first single from 1948, and one of the songs often named as the first rock’n’roll song.
George’s best line in that song is:
everybody funny, now you funny too
It’s also not a good thing to try. After a shot of bourbon, the scotch shot tastes awful and the beer chaser is not good either.
And yet I’ve done it a few times just for fun.
Oh yes. That is just brilliant.

All the time in the world to regret what we’ve done.
