So, taken from rain_luong, a list of my favorite first lines in songs.

"My dog ran over a car today" (The Consortium of Genius, So Confuse)

"A public service announcement followed me home the other day" (R.E.M., Bad Day)

"Well I thought about the army, dad said, Son you're fuckin' high" (Ben Folds Five, Army)

"Southbound again; I don't know if I'm going or leaving home" (Dire Straits, Southbound Again)

"'Pathological monsters!' cried the terrified mathematician, 'every one of them a splinter in my eye.'" (Jonathan Coulton, Mandelbrot Set)

"How do you document real life when real life's getting more like fiction each day?" (RENT, Rent)

"Wearing a raincoat is flying around in an airplane made of a raincoat." (They Might Be Giants, Wearing a Raincoat)

I'd have more, but I'm fairly musically uncultured.


While I'm on the subject of music, I found this video of a group playing Smells Like Teen Spirit on ukuleles. With an Al Gore impersonator singing.
