"I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire, don't touch me I'm a real live wire."
This was discussed on my facebook status, so I wanted to post it. Psycho Killer is easily one of my most loved songs, how can you not sing along? This song exemplifies how good the Talking Heads are at putting things into words in a way that makes you go "wow that sounds really neat"

"The pump don't work cause the vandals took the handles."
This one's from Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan. Mathias had to know this was coming when he asked me to be a guest writer.
Pretty much every line from this song makes me chuckle, its also famous for the music video in which Bob holds up a series of notecards with words different from the lyrics. I'm not as tech savvy as Mathias so I don't know how to add a youtube video, but I think all here know what video I'm speaking of.
I also like the line "You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows" from the same song.

EDIT:
I kept the video part of this music video intact since it's relevant.

"'Like hell it is.' I took it off and looked at it. I sort of closed one eye, like I was taking aim at it. 'This is a people shooting hat,'"
Oh, except for this one from Catcher in the Rye. this one I'm posting.

"Usually a pale creepy guy staring at you from across the dining area just means you're eating at Denny's."
This is a joke from the Rifftrax version of Twilight. If you don't know what Rifftrax (more famously known as Mystery Science Theater 3000) is, it's basically an audio commentary for a [usually bad] movie. The people doing the commentary spend the whole movie just making fun of everything going on on screen. If you're one of those people who really hates it when people talk during movies (even really bad ones), than this isn't for you; otherwise, you should definitely check this out.

"Fabulous. University education, you can't beat it."
This is from a forgotten gem of the world of British comedy called Blackadder. In fact, it was where quite a few famous comedians got their start, including: Stephen Fry, Hugh Lauri, and Rowan Atkinson.

"I tried to talk with God to no avail calling Him in and out of nowhere said if You won't save me, please don't waste my time."
This is a quote from the song Falling Down, by Oasis. Jamie D. recommended that I put a quote from Noel Gallagher up. Since this is the only song of theirs I listen to, I thought it would be a good pick.
