Using song lyrics IRL situations

[Girlystevedave]

I find myself quoting lyrics a lot in every day conversation. For instance...

When I answer the phone, a lot of times I say: "Hello, is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes...."

If I say "How cool is that?", I have the urge to quote Weezer's El Scorcho and say: "How cool is that? So I went to your room, and read your diary.."


Alright class, time to share your own. :)

mostly beastie boys stuff.

the one i can think of that is used most often in our house is:

i say "hold it!" to one of the kids. i hear jeff respond with "now hit it!" from the other room, and i have to say "yo, leroy!" back at him.

I like going,

"She said pass the jello and I'm jello baby"

Whenever I'm over at my friends house and want him to pass me a beer, I yell "Pass the brew motherfucker while I tear shit up!"

Whenever I'm waiting on something/anything, I quote Tom Petty: "And the wai-ai-ting is the hardest part" :)

I don't really use any lyrics from his songs in real life situations, but I often think about his music in certain situations.

"Into the Great Wide Open" makes me think about country landscapes because I heard it for the first time when I lived in a very rural community.

When I get impatient, I quote from Paul McCartney's No More Lonely Nights... "I can wait another day..."
