    Hard to top,

    Blame it all on my roots
    I showed up in boots
    and ruined her black tie affair

    There are so many to choose from, here are a few:

    "Down in New Orleans where the Blues were born it takes a cool cat to blow a horn"
    -The Hawketts "MARDI GRAS MAMBO"

    "Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans and miss her each night and day I know I'm not wrong because the feeling's getting stronger the longer I stay away..."
    -unknown "DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS"


    "Where stately oaks and broad magnolias shade inspiring halls, there stands our dear old Alma Mater who to us recalls..."
    -If you have to ask, then you do not belong on this board

    The best opening line of any song, EVERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

    Well it was all/
    I could do/
    To keep from crying/

    -David Allan Coe, "You Never Even Call Me By My Name"

    Is there a more unforgettable opening? Gimme a break...I'm from Baton Rouge, and I've heard that song in more country bars and holes in the wall...and as SOON as you hear that opening, drunks from every corner of the room join arm over shoulder, start sloshing bottles around, laughing and singing along...

    The end of the song is pretty damn good....

    I was drunk/
    The day my mom/
    Got out of prison/

    & I went/
    To pick her up/
    In the rain/

    But before I/
    Could get to the station/
    In my pickup truck/
    She got runned over by a damned old train!

    "I like big butts and I can not lie
    You other brothers can't deny
    That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
    And a round thing in your face
    You get sprung, wanna pull out your tongue"

    From the Beatles Tomorrow Never Knows

    Turn off your mind, relax
    and float down stream
    It is not dying
    It is not dying


    From Zebra's Who's Behind the Door

    We sailed away
    We walked two thousand miles and then we slipped away
    We looked so hard
    But couldn't seem to find just what the world was for
    Now we know
    Just what the journey's for

    Looking out to the stars
    Think about what you are
    What do they think of you
    Animals in their zoo
    They haven't got the time
    Landing is not on their minds
    How do they have the nerve
    We're animals in preserve

    They watch us all
    They're only making sure that we don't trip and fall
    They looked so hard
    But they can't tell us why they're here and just what for
    Because they don't know
    Who opened up the door
