What if your opinion of the entire song was based on that one lyric? I don’t think it would change much, actually.
What if your #2 on MySpace quoted the last lyric of the song to you? I don’t even remember who my #2 on MySpace is. The last lyric anyway is “all I want is to have some peace of mind”
If this song title was a movie title, what would the movie be about? It would probably be some sort of psychological thriller with a criminal mastermind/murderer or something.
Song # 5
Artist: The Avalanches
Title: Frontier Psychiatrist
What is the most offensive/vulgar lyric in this song? None of the lyrics are offensive/vulgar. “Buttocks” is mentioned once, though. Racy!
What if the 1st word in the song title was replaced with the word “hooker”: I would SO totally listen to “Hooker Psychiatrist”

Does that lyric remind you of a situation you’ve been in? Ha. Yes.
Does this song have a deep meaning, or is it just straightforward? It’s either got some super deep psychological meaning or The Avalanches were just on major drugs when they wrote it.

Artist: OK Go
Title: End Love
What if your last name was included in the song title? OK Mahler Go would be…interesting.

Song #7
Artist: Fleet Foxes
Title: Helplessness Blues
What if the 1st word in the Artist name was replaced with the word “poop”: Poop Foxes! HAHAHAHA. Feces Foxes sounds better.
What is the funniest lyric in this song? “Someday I’ll be like the man on the screen.” It’s funny in an odd way ‘cause it’s the last lyric in the song.
What is the 8th lyric in this song? “I don’t need to be kind to the armies of night that would do such injustice to you”
What if there was a restaurant named from the 1st and 5th word of that lyric: “I Be.” Sounds like some sort of existential diner.

What if your #5 MySpace friend called you and sang the chorus to you? No idea who my #5 is, but this is such a sad song that I’d probably start to cry.
What is the last lyric in the song? “I ache, I ache, I ache inside”
Is that the best lyric in the song? It’s the most impactful, in my opinion.
