Do you ever use song lyrics in conversation?

supernova84

I sometimes use song lyrics in day to day conversation. My favourite lines are what's the story morning glory and what's the frequency kenneth for saying hello. I also tend to use parts of the river by Bruce springsteen, so if asked what I do I reply... I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy.
So have you ever used song lyrics in conversation and what lines?

If someone asked me "whats the story morning glory?" at work I think I could punch them in the throat without fear of being fired, HR would understand.

Sang to the lady in the shop that "Gonna to get a Geateax gonna get a Geateax Cake". Is that how's it spelt?

Yes, was just telling a mate earlier that I make a mean milkshake and all the boys came to my yard, one lad asked could I teach him and I said damn right but I'd have to charge.

I've had entire conversations using only Smiths lyrics.

A friend of my brother was in the shop once and whatever he bought cost 50c. When the guy behind the counter said "Fifty cents, please", the friend replied: "You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub!"

EDIT: A joke between me and a Brazilian friend is that whenever we toast, we say "Saúde, guerreiro!" (which means "Cheers, warrior!") instead of "Saúde!". It's a line from a song we both love.

I use the sentence ‘Happy birthday to you‘ all the time!

Me and my brothers used to play games where we could only talk to each other using song lyrics/titles. They used to last a few days sometimes; we were so rare

Probably one of those moments where you just had to be there...

The only one I tend to use is "If youre gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough" (Jackass Theme tune)

No I never use them in conversation but sometimes I feel like I'm knocking on heavens door.

this is gonna hurt a lot of people..

doesn't stop the 'working man' charging the biggest ticket prices I've seen bar Streisand - but even then she provided a plush setting, not like the rds! 'The Boss' may say so but you don't have to pay so!

Everybody's got a hungry heart. Bruce, has a greedy one.

I remember getting an entire chorus of a song into a conversation once. There was a group of us talking about some issue - racism or something - and I squeezed in..

I think what we need is a great big melting pot, big enough to take the world and all it's got, keep it stirring for a hundred years or more, and turn out coffee colored people by the score

.. I said it in a hesitant way as if I was having trouble articulating my thoughts so one or two people were nodding just before a friend who got it exploded in laughter. :pac:

It's actually great fun making up imaginary Smiths song titles.

"Youre nothing! an object of animation. A subjective mannequin! Beaten into submission. Raping again and agaaaain.."

The nature of the music merited it? I trust i'll.. never find myself working this into a conversation.

GunRunner

Yeah, I do it quite often. I find that Manic Street Preachers or Crass lyrics work well. People think they're my own words and usually either think that I'm really intelligent or else a bit mentally I'll.
