Songs with the Greatest Opening Lines

[cosmicfolklore]

Ah, you can talk about the pit, barbecue, the band was jumpin', the people too... Ah, mess around...

 

[Old School 3319]

Scrotum scrotum, just an ugly little bag of skin
scrotum scrotum, that's the bag I keep my testes in

Pete & Wayne

Loved the asylum street spankers version

 

[Casual]

She was a fast machine!

 

[Fiddlepiper]

“She’s a good girl, loves her mama..”

 

[Old School 3319]

There’s a skeeter on my Peter beat it off beat it off

 

[Old School 3319]

If whiskey could talk he’d say I am a good guy at least it ought to as much as I buy
Tyler Childers

 

[Fiddlepiper]

“I'm gonna fight 'em all...”

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Loved the asylum street spankers version

Love those guys. I got to meet them when they came through with the Nut Zippers. Fun peoples.

Red Peters' "You Promised the Moon"

You promised the moon
but I preferred Uranus
the stars must be right
cuz Uranus looks good tonight.

 

[keith929]

"Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste".​

 

[jmill208]

I hear the train a coming
It’s rolling ‘round the bend
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when...

 

[Fiddlepiper]

“Childhood living is easy to do...”

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I hear the drums echoing tonight...

 

[tobefrank]

With so much drama in the L-B-C
It's kind of hard bein' Snoop D-O-double-G
But I, somehow, some way
Keep comin' up with funky ass shit like every single day

 

[STP]

Too many to list, but this quickly came to mind: “Who are you to wave your finger? You must've been out your head”

 

[tobefrank]

I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm gonna set it straight, this Watergate

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lawd...

 

[crawdad]

Hello walls...

Faron Young

 

[cosmicfolklore]

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day...

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Hello walls...

Faron Young

...for the win. Legend says that after Willie first sang that other musicians would come up to him and give him shit with things like “Hello coffee cup,” “Hello alarm clock,” “Hello shoes..” ha ha
