Capt. Kaos Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well, it does start out with the greatest opening riff in rock n roll history...... Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell...... One more by Chuck: Ridin' along in my automobile My baby beside me at the wheel I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile My curiosity runnin' wild Cruisin' and playin' the radio With no particular place to go.

A couple of my favorites- Tin shacks and catfish bones have been about all I’ve ever known. The junebugs rattle and roll around the old maypole And also- I know we came here to get our good times on, Hold the whole world in our hand and greet the dawn with open arms. So make a contribution if you have been amused But before we depart my brothers and sisters I have some heavy news And lastly- Back again with a quickness, pick it up, pick it up. Master arithmeticness, light it up, light it up. I got the heat in both feets, snake handler’s hands.

mbws Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 one last one...Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now (Judy Collins was a hack)"Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere, i've looked at clouds that way." though one could argue the entire song is a lyrical masterpiece.

PiLfan Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Fixed Think that's the first time i've ever heard her described as a "hack", but to each their own. Joni wrote the song and did a beautiful job recording it as well...Judy's voice (and Rifkin's arrangements) took it to heights no one else could, imo. Anyway, the thread's about best opening lines, so here's another one i thought of: U2 - Bullet the Blue Sky "In the howlin' wind, comes a stingin' rain. See it drivin' nails into the souls on the tree of pain." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
