From Harvey Danger’s “Flagpole Sitta”
Been around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And I don’t even own a TV
Bloodhound gang’s “Fire,Water,Burn” This line always gives me the giggles. 
“Cause I’m kind of like Han Solo always stroking my own wookie,
I’m the root of all that’s evil yeah but you can call me cookie”
Not sure if this qualifies but…oh, heck, I’ve been meaning to get this off my chest for so long, I’m putting it here. Big Time, by Peter Gabriel.
Supposedly…so I’ve heard…a mockery of 80’s materalistic values. (Someone said it was about Phil Collins, but I find that unlikely.) Money, money, money. Wretched excess. Shallowness.
I couldn’t help but notice, however, a number of things suspiciously missing:
- Drug abuse
- An absolutely horrible, miserable, doomed, all-the-wrong-reasons marriage
- Badly raised children out of wedlock and/or the doomed marriage
- Unbelievably stupid petty crime
- Unbelievably stupid not-so-petty crime
- Mobs of paid-off sycophants
- Did I mention drug abuse?
- Publicly blathering mind-blowingly offensive/dirty/shocking statments in public
- Lawsuits
- Incredibly wrongheaded, money-draining “investments” and “business ventures”
- Taking up criminal/insane/bass-ackwards causes
And so on. Gabriel’s picture of conspicuous extravagance wouldn’t amount to a decent Spring Break for most big names these days.
And I also couldn’t help but notice that although this song wasn’t meant to be autobiographical, pretty much everything in it eventually came true for him.
Certainly gives me a smile. 
Made my will

Gonna keep a walkin’ till my straw hat floats

The perfect country & western song as mentioned in “You Never Even Called me by my Name” by David Allan Coe:
Well, we’re big rock singers
We got golden fingers
And we’re loved everywhere we go (that sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten-thousand dollars a show (right)
We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we’ve never known
Is the thrill that’ll gitcha when you get your picture
On the cover of the rollin stone
Dr. Hook’s “On the Cover of the Rollin’ Stone”
Ray Charles’ - “I’ve got news for you”
You said before we met
That your life was awfl tame
Well, I took you to a nightclub
And the whole band knew your name
…
Oh, you wore a diamond watch
Claimed it was from Uncle Joe
When I looked at the inscription
It said, “Love from Daddy-O.”
Meat Loaf “Paradise by the Dashboard Light”
Girl:
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me!!!?
Will you love me forever!!!?
Boy:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I’ll give you my answer in the morning
A few lines later…
I started swearing to my god and on my mother’s grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I’m praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don’t think that I can really survive
