Just to clear it off the board, I’ll expand ast2: ast2- “Before her love, I was cruel and mean. I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been.” A few more now: ast30) “A dirt road main street, she walked off in her bare feet.” ast31) “I think it’s true what they say about the squeaky wheel” ast32) “Your hands build me up when I’m sinking.” ast33) “The beat-up sneakers and the ponytail.” ast34) “He who made kittens put snakes in the grass.” ast35) “Gypsy lady, your miracle worked for me.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/that-70s-song-name-that-tune-for-old-fogeys/187256.md?page=12) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/that-70s-song-name-that-tune-for-old-fogeys/187256.md?page=14)
