    Default Guess the song!

    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.

    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!

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

    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
