Well, I'm officially a stay-at-home dad for the time being, so I guess it's time to start this silly little list that nobody's even going to read. Oh well. It'll keep me occupied.
For each song, I will follow the same format:
"song title" by artist (album it's from)
Short little blurb (in most cases. Some of them may be a tad longer)
Line: from the song that I think is the best line of the song.
Hopefully people actually read this. If not, oh well. But if you do read it, drop me a line on facebook or leave a comment here and let me know what you think.
And away we go...
156. "Don't Believe It" by Jesus Jones (Perverse)
I'm still a fan of Jesus Jones. Had they come out about 6 years earlier than they did, they probably would have been huge, but they really had horrible timing, with their one big song, "Right Here, Right Now" coming out right before "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. This song was on their 3rd album, Perverse, which is overall a pretty solid album.
Line: "You came at the right time, filled the right space, and ever since then I've never seen your true face."

155. "Under Pressure" by Queen with David Bowie (Hot Space)
Not the greatest Queen song, sure. But it's still one of my favorites by them, Vanilla Ice rip offs and all. Great hook, good lyrics, and, oh yeah, David Bowie.
Line: "Why can't we give love one more chance?"
154. "What A Good Boy" by Barenaked Ladies (Gordon)
While BNL are mostly known for the sillier songs, like "If I Had $1,000,000" or "Pinch Me," it's on the more serious songs where they really shine, I think. This is one of the better examples of such, off their debut album.
Line: "I wake up scared, I wake up strange, I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever gonna change."
