songs with one memorable line

pickarooney

You know those songs that you never learned the lyrics of but come one particular line you're in there with it, singing along, only to fade back out to hum/stop after a few seconds. Especially funny/weird in supermarkets, where everyone hums quietly then mouths/sings one line and then gets some beans. I can't think of many right now, except...

Clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee - you're so vain
..termite, chokin' on the splinters - loser
chan-GER - seven seconds

"Just because your paranoid, dos'nt mean they're not after you" - Nirvana

And this poped into my head completely randomly today

"You spin me right round
Baby right round
Like a record baby right round
spin me right round"

I always thought it was clowns in the coffee... but I guess clouds makes slightly more sense...

Oh yeah, I forgot to say the chorus/song title don't count.
I thought of that Bono line as well, but I reckoned most people know the other lyrics after being subjected to three different takes on it.

my fave line from that song is:

Stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast.

well take me to the station
and put me on a train
i got no expectations

The entire 'Nobody' song by Mr. Cash:

When life seems full
Of clouds and rain
And I'm full
Of nothin' but pain
Who soothes my thumpin', bumpin' brain?
Nobody

When Wintertime comes
With its snow and sleet
And me with hunger
And cold feet
Who says "Here's two bits, go and eat"?
Nobody

Well, I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until I get something from somebody, sometime
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time

When Summertime comes
All warm and clear
And my friends see me
Drawin' near
Who says "come on in and have a beer"?
Nobody

Well one time when things was
Lookin' bright
I started to whittlin' on a stick one night
Who said "Hey! That's dynamite!"?
Nobody

Mmmm, I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until I get something from somebody, sometime
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until I get something from somebody, sometime
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time
