Guess the song!

[Robert****]

Just got an idea... post some lines from a song, and we guess what song and artist it is.

You are not allowed to use search engines to look for the lines. Doing so will result in alien abduction with painful probing activities in certain body cavities, as well as mandatory front row seat participation (earplugs not allowed) at the next Britney Spears show.

Here we go!

"The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read"

Now, what song is that?

Don't cheat!

The person who gets it right continues with new song lines. Don't make it too obscure or I suspect the alien probing tools will come out.

Sounds HIP HOP to me. I do not listen to that kind of music. But then again, it could be some of that Heavy Metal, head banging stuff.

Hi Robert,

I seem to remember that one line from a Spinal Tap song. "Big Bottom", is that right? That was one hilarious movie.

Ahh, you got it! I was hoping there would be more wrong guesses... but oh well. Jim, your turn next!

"don't make a fuss - just get on the bus"
"looks just like a Telefunken U47"

[jpfeifer]

OK. Here's one:

"And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?"

How about this one:
"Is this all thats left of my life before me:
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs?
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me."

"don't make a fuss - just get on the bus"

What? You guys jump over one because it's too hard or what?

here's one...

"I've had years of cramped up city life,"
"trapped like a duck in a pen"
"All I know is it's a pity life"
"can't be simple again"

Cheers,

Oooo, I know this and it's driving me crazy that I can't get the title.

Oooo, I know this and it's driving me crazy that I can't get the title.

Hint: It's bluegrass and old. If I put up anymore lyrics, it would give away the title.

Oops almost tanked this one....it's "Rocky Top"

how 'bout:

What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
Its got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?

See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently like rain
