Oh shit, how did I miss The Jolly Banker. Greatest line ever: some will rob you win a six-gun and some with a fountain pen.
Hello,

My vote for best line goes to Midnight Oil for "The rich get richer, the poor get the picture" from Read About It.

Rich Girl by Hall & Oates fits the category of one song I like by a band I don't
We reach the parts other combos cannot reach
We beach the beachheads other armies cannot beach
We speak the tongues other mouths cannot speak

Jeebus, way way way too many songs that could be in my top five. The first three are untouchable, the fourth and fifth could switch with at least a dozen others.

1. Carolyn's Fingers
2. Orange Appled
3. Musette and Drums
4. The Spangle Maker
5. Sigh's Smell of Farewell

I mostly know their Frosty the Snowman single, which I love.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Pex Lives!
