Sometimes, when I hear “year of the cat”, I kinda want to be the protagonist of the song. Right up until the part about the patchouli that is. That is all. Thank you.
Sometimes when I hear the song *What’s New Pussycat *I want to be someone who has never heard the song What’s New Pussycat.

Moving thread from MPSIMS to Cafe Society.
Well, I wanted to tell the protagonist in Chasing Amy to step aside when it became obvious he was making an utter hash of a really nice and rare opportunity.
Despite the OP’s kind of dream state posting, I agree. It’s a song that evokes a pleasant vision. I could handle the patchouli, just for the opportunity.
I could have lived Hollywood Nights. iw as a “Midwestern boy on his own”, and hooked up with a rich girl. But I kept myself grounded. I missed the high, but I missed the getting dumped unceremoniously, too.
I lived "Your Momma Don’t Dance (And Your Daddy Don’t Rock & Roll). All the way through the drive-in, in fact.
Drive-IN? THAT’S why my gf and I got in so much trouble. We mis-remembered the lyric as saying “drive-THROUGH.” :smack:
come to think of it, it wasn’t that dark, either…
I want to be Shane and stay.
I want to be a hero of an anime harem comedy and totally avoid all those unbelievable cliches.
I want to be Kane and not spend my life obsessing about a present I didn’t get when I was ten.
Do we really need to spoiler a film from 1941?
I think you’re misremembering or misunderstanding. Rosebud is not a present he didn’t get. It was a treasured childhood toy, and the last thing he was playing with before his parents sent him away for a “better” life. It represents the loss of childhood, innocence, and the start of a life whose value he is pondering on his deathbed.
I want to be Anarchy.
I wish I were in a Beatles song.
…under the sea in an octopus’s garden.
With you.
I’m not Leon Redbone, but I want to be seduced.
Sedated.
Sometimes when I hear Bron-Y-Aur Stomp by Led Zeppelin, I want to take my dog for a walk.
Then I remember I don’t have a dog.
So, do you want to be running for your life, little girl?
Or be doing it in the road? Being held in his armchair til you feel his disease? Or maybe crawl off to sleep in the bath (then wake to realize you’re all alone)? Me, I used to be cruel to my woman… I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved.
Or do you just want to be the eggman?
Me? I’d love to stroll down Penny Lane.
Your boyfriend.
Maybe I just need Help.
Who do you want me to be, to make you sleep with me?
Whenever I hear Rhiannon, I can picture myself flying through the cool, starry night, at one with nature, toying with mere mortals.
