I LOVE NEW YORK - MADONNA
I don't like cities, but I like New York
Other places make me feel like a dork
 
MAGGIE MAY - ROD STEWART
I laughed at all of your jokes
My love you didn't need to coax
 
DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME - THE POLICE
It's no use, he sees her, he starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov
 
WHEN I WAS YOUNG - THE ANIMALS
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls, I had a bad yen
 
BALLAD OF A THIN MAN - BOB DYLAN
You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
 
BUG POWDER DUST - BOMB THE BASS
Never been a fake and I'm never phony
I got more flavour than a packet of macaroni
 
SMOOTH CRIMINAL - MICHAEL JACKSON
As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
 
IT'S EVERYDAY BRO - JAKE PAUL
And I just dropped some new merch
And it's selling like a God church
 
BOYFRIEND - JUSTIN BIEBER
Swag, swag, swag on you
Chillin' by the fire while we're eatin' fondue
 
LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE - EMINEM ft. RIHANNA
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane
 
BREAK FREE - ARIANA GRANDE
I only wanna die alive,
Never by the hands of a broken heart
Don't wanna hear you lie tonight,
Now that I've become who I really are
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
RHYTHM IS A DANCER - SNAP
I'm serious as cancer
When I say that rhythm is a dancer
 
CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA - OASIS
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
 
HAPPY TOGETHER - THE TURTLES
So happy together
And how is the weather?
 
HIGHLY STRUNG - SPANDAU BALLET
She used to be a diplomat
But now she's down the laundromat
 
SPEED OF SOUND - COLDPLAY
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
 
LIFE - DES'REE
I'm afraid of the dark
Especially when I'm in a park
 
BUCK ROGERS - FEEDER
Get a house in Devon
Drink cider from a lemon
 
HEY, SOUL SISTER - TRAIN
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
 
SUMMER GIRLS - LFO
New Kids On The Block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
 
A HORSE WITH NO NAME - AMERICA
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
 
AFRICA - TOTO
The wild dogs cry out in the night,
as they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right,
as sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

Made this in 2020 but was never that happy with it and left it unsubmitted. Dimby's recent bad movie quotes quiz reminded me of it.

If you have any suggestions of questionable song lyrics I'd be interested to hear them!

Yes, these lyrics are obviously the best ever written. Ariana’s lines are always delivered so smoothly and clearly, too, which is important to get across their profound meaning.

How about any song that uses “I” as the object of a preposition instead of “me.”

One Direction “Nothing can come between you and I.”

Lady Gaga: “There’s something about you and I.”

Both of these songs are titled “You and I.”
