Uhh, what's yours? It can be eerie, stupid, just cool, or whatever.

Eerie:
Billy Joel's "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out On Broadway)"
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway-
I saw the Empire State laid low.
Think back about 2 years & 2 months.

Silly:
Anything from "A Boy named Sue"

Cool:
Again, Billy Joel, this time "Only the Good Die Young"
They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
the Sinners are much more fun...
Cool after the Date from Hell:
Joel's Big Shot

Cool after getting dumped:
Joel's "Stiletto"
She cuts you once, she cuts you twice
But still you believe
The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood
But you don't have strength to leave
You've been bought, you've been sold
You've been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin',
With your insides bleedin',
'Cause you deep down want some more
Then she says she wants forgiveness
It's such a clever masquerade
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't even see the blade

how bout the entire joe diffie song "Pickup Man". That should be the anthem of this site.

"Got my first truck when I was 3, drove 100,000 miles on my knees."

"you could set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill, and I still wouldn't trade it for a coupe de ville."

"bucket a rust or a brand new machine, once around the block and you'll know what I mean"

I love that song.

I like Billy Joel too, especially "The Longest Time."

Also,
"you may be right, I may be crazy,
but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for"

"Ever since the day you left me, I've been so miserable my dear
I feel almost as bad as I did when you were still here"
(Weird Al, who else)

Newsboys:Shine-
out of the shaker and onto the plate
it isn´t Karma
it sure ain´t fate
that would make a Deadhead sell his van
that would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons
Oprah freaks
and science seeks a rationale
that shall excuse
this strange behavior

when you let it shine
you will inspire
the kind of entire turnaround
that would make a bouncer take ballet
(even bouncers who aren´t happy)
but out of the glare
with nowhere to turn
you ain´t gonna learn it on "What´s My Line?"

Newsboys:Take Me To Your Leader-
Isabelle is a belly dancer
with a kleptomaniac's restraint
tried stealing Helena's hand basket,
made a fast getaway,
but McQueen she ain't
at the courtroom Joshua judges her
ruthlessly on account of Ruth walking
out on him

in the Big House Isabelle is a-telling all
to the chaplain who's become her friend

Justin is adjustin' to the odor from
Theodore's Evergreen Incense
but aroma therapy don't make him any
younger than Oliver's All Liver Supplements

his late mate Merrilee merrily said
immortality can't be bought in a jar
this just in: Justin's had enough of cure-
alls, gonna quiz the neighbor kid with the
fish on his car

Trace Adkins sings a song about women, and how they worry about being sexy after a certain age. For any woman, I think this tops them all.

Well i know sometimes you think
that all you really are, is the woman with the kids, and the groceries and car
and you worry about your hips, and you worry about your age
and while i'm trying to catch...the breath you take away
oh and believe me when you do,and baby when i do, all i see is

one hot mama
you turn me on, lets turn it up, and turn this room into a sauna
one hot mama
oh what do you say babe...do you wanna?

"From green to red our days pass by/
and we wait for a sign to tell us 'why?'/
are we dancing all alone?

Collect some stars to shine for you/
but start today, there are only a few/
a sign of times my friend."

In Flames - "Trigger"
