Unlikely opening lines of HIT singles

[atitlan]

"Listen to the voice of Buddha
Saying stop your sericulture"

'Being Boiled' - The Human Leage

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Honey, it’s getting close to midnight and all the myths are still in town.

Iron Maiden - Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.

Christmas number 1 some time ago.

Not sure what I can say about this song apart from that I used to like the Maiden in my teenage years.

 

[Radar]

"Listen to the voice of Buddha
Saying stop your sericulture"

'Being Boiled' - The Human Leage

Cheers! now, 24 years later, I finally know what sericulture means

Why didn't we have the internet in the eighties ??

(Actually, thinking about it, we did have dictionaries back then and they would have worked too !)

 

[fishfingerer]

I eat cannibal
Feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me
I eat cannibals

We shall never see the likes of Toto Coelo again.

 

[Velouria]

A great philosopher once wrote:
"Naughyee naughteeee verrry naughteeeeee! Ha ha ha ha ha!"

The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode

 

[Lazy Llama]

Cheers! now, 24 years later, I finally know what sericulture means

All a bit of a mix up too, by the sounds of it:-

Phil Oakey: "It was... er... I'd got some religions mixed up and I thought that, like, Buddhism was the same as Hinduism, and it was sort of a plea for vegetarianism really, against killing the silkworms to make socks or something. I got really confused about it."

 

[Dhimmi]

Not a hit anywhere but my house but...

"I fancy I'll open a stationers, stock quaint notepads for weekend pagans..."

 

[Termite Man]

Not a hit anywhere but my house but...

"I fancy I'll open a stationers, stock quaint notepads for weekend pagans..."

That is a very good opening line but you should at least carry on untill you get to the shed burning incident if your doing it properly !

This is much better though

My Uncle Charlie is a cynical man
And his wifes a touch skeptical, too.
They've got one of those stickers
In the back of their van; it says:
We've seen the prices at the zoo.
Well today I knocked upon their door
And said that I was passing,
And charlie launched a scathing attack.
When I asked him what I'd done, he said
"You stupid bastard! We live in a cul-de-sac!"

 

[Termite Man]

The greatest opening lines ever


Mention the Lord of the Rings just once more,
And I'll more than likely kill you.

 

[D'wards]

Girl - I wanna take you a Gay Bar

 

[Iam]

I want to use:

Ha, Holocaust from the land of the lost,
Behold the pale horse, off course (off course).

But I think it was top 20, and not top 10. Now becoming recognised as a truly great pop song, though... until you actually listen to the words. Still Wu-Tang...
