I had Pandora just running on some 80s tunes at random and Safety Dance came on.

I always laugh at the line "Everybody look at your hands!"

In "Dance Hall Days" by Wang Chung there's that line "Take yo' baby by the wrist"

The Smiths' "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" has the line "It was dark as I drove the point home"

Whaddya got?

Billy Bragg has a bunch.
"The chain that fell off my bike last night is now wrapped round my heart"

"I saw two shooting stars last night, I wished on them but they were only satellites, Its wrong to wish on space hardware, I wish, I wish, I wish you cared"

I always though that Springsteen using speedball instead of fastball, in Glory Days, was kinda odd...

You can tell by the beginning of the video that he'd probably never thrown a baseball in his life.

Bruce uses the word "Guts" in multiple songs.

Basically all of "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies, but these lines stand out:

Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurosawa I make mad films
'kay I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai

Cut loose like a deuce is the Springsteen version.
Revved up like a deuce is the Manfred Mann version.

Yeah, I'm aware... I only mentioned it, because the last few posts were about Bruce...

Paul McCartney saying he used to beat his woman in Getting Better.
quote:

I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved

Alice Cooper

"Well we got no class
And we go no principles
And we got innocents
We can't even think of a word that rhymes."

This verse has always bugged me in “Rocket Man”. It doesn’t make any sense.

Ive also always liked (thought not really odd)... I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I'm miserable now..
