What is the best first line of a song?

[REDEYE]

I'm so happy 'cause today I've found my friends ... They're in my head

 

[jimmythegreek]

Something familiar, Something peculiar, Something for everyone: A comedy tonight

 

[jimmythegreek]

[Peron:] People of Europe, I send you the Rainbow of Argentina [Che:] Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita She can do what she likes, it doesn't matter much

 

[daboyzinblue]

And now the end is near
and so I face the final curtain

 

[daboyzinblue]

Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i

 

[The Guesser]

Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest

 

[The Guesser]

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go beserk

 

[The Guesser]

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street

 

[The Guesser]

Who's gonna tell you when, it's too late
Who's gonna tell you things, aren't so great
You can't go on, thinkin, nothin's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

 

[ANOTHERDAY]

When the night has come
and the land is dark
and the moon is the only light we"ll see
no I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid

 

[camy]

"whiskey and women... just about done wrecked my life"

[MikeB]

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light

-Francis Scott Key (1814)

 

[packer2012]

He said I'll love you till I die (Greatest song of all time!)

On a warm summer's evening, on a train bound for nowhere (Who on here would not like this song)

This town ain't big, this town ain't small (Come on.... it's baseball season)

 

[doubledeuce22]

Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night...

 

[jimmythegreek]

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh

 

[GoSooners]

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light

-Francis Scott Key (1814)

A one hit wonder..But a big hit

 

[carlspackler]

Oh Loretta she's a barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tell me lies I love to believe
Her age is always 22
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like water falls
Loves me like I want her to

 

[GoSooners]

Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee


-Captain Beefheart-

 

[joebatters]

I'm a flea-bit peanut monkey, all my friends are junkies.

 

[The Guesser]

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A B C's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
