Music And Lyrics


For the past two days, I have been filling up my new mp3 player with some kickass tune-age. While doing so, I came across the works of one of my favorite bands, The B-52's (above). I shot through a few songs, decided to play "Dance This Mess Around," and actually listened to the lyrics.

And then I heard one of the greatest lines of all time:
"Why don't you dance with me? I'm not no Limburger."
Even though I have heard the song a million times, that line never stuck out in my mind. Eerie. It's a strange one - I guess Kate Pierson is trying to say she doesn't stink like the cheese of the same name - but it's a great one at the same time.

Anyone else have a great/bizarre lyric they want to share?
