I hear "bacon and cigarettes." Then again, I always wanted it to be "thinking to yourself, he's a moron" in One Wink at a Time.

I'm pretty sure it's "bacon and cigarettes"… regardless of what's been written down. There's no way he sings "fingernails" on the record.

I'm shocked that you didn't include "Gary's Got a Boner!" What kind of list is this, anyways?

Lovelines has always cracked me up since the early 80s. The reader/city pages kind of papers are moslty gone and are now more of a moment in time, but I must say even 5 year olds know a catchy tune when they hear it. I know it may be a pg rated song, but when my daughter screams "turn the lights out", while singing with young paul, I can't help but know she has a good ear. Call me imperfect if you will, call me on wednesday oh better still.

"…with a microwave and a library card, it'll taste like plastic, but it'll be fast and hot.

Men without ties don't dress for dinner, it's a Friday night frozen pizza thing…"

I could just hug the big dorky genius, while simultaniously kicking his ass for imploding before I got a chance to see the bastards live.

Solution:

Paul + Tommy + Soul Assylum = reunion!

Call it the "Replacement Soul" tour.

Can I get a 'hell yes?'

The 'Mats were sui generis — whatever the eff that means.

Others: How about, "You're the coolest cat that I ever did smell"? Or: "The plan was to sweep the world off its feet, so you sweep the garage so the neighbors can see"?
