Song Lyrics I Can't Listen to Without Singing Aloud

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com


I think there are a million lines I love to sing, but these are my favorites that I could think of off the top of my head. Or "I spit these straight from the dome" as us freestylers say rap.

Song title (Musician): Lyrics



Last Christmas (Wham): "I wrapped it up and sent it, with a note saying "I love you" I meant it"

The Girl is Mine (Michael Jackson feat. Paul McCartney): tie "Paul, I think I told you. I'm a lover, not a fighter." and Michael saying "I don't belieeeeeeve it"

Here Comes Santa Claus (Elvis): The opening line- "Here comes Santa Claus, uh-here comes Santa Claus."

Contagious (R. Kelly featuring Ron Isley): "Drive me crazy....drive me wiiiiiiiild" AND "I'm about to catch a caaa-aassse." Ok, really this is the best song ever to sing along with. All the lines are great.

Mack the Knife (Louis Armstrong): "Tsuki Tawdry, Jenny Diver, Lottie Lanyard, Sweet Lucy Brown, Ohhhh the line forms on the right, dear."

The New Style (Beastie Boys): "I roll up the woolie and I watched Columbo"

Pour Some Sugar on me (Def Leppard): "Do you take your sugar one lump or two?"

Rebel Yell (Billy Idol): "In the Midnight hour, she screamed 'More, more, more'"

Don't Mean a Thing (Louis Armstrong): "It don't mean a thing-a if it aint-a got-a that-a swing-a."

100 Miles and Runnin' (NWA)- "A 100 Miles from home and yo, it's a long stretch. A little sprintin' mutherfucker that they won't catch."

Gangsta Gangsta (NWA)- "My homey Dre will fuck you up in a minute with right, left, right, left you're toothless then you say 'Goddamn they ruthless' "

Strangers in the Night (Frank Sinatra)- "Love was just a glance away, warm embracing dance and play."

Frank Sinatra (Miss Kitten and The Hacker)- "....we talk about Frank Sinatra. Do you know Frank Sinatra? He's dead....ha ha...dead."

You Rock My World (Michael Jackson)- (in the beginning part with Chris Tucker and Michael are talking) "...she is bangin'....she looks good, you're right" Real believable, Michael

Notorious Thugs (Just Bone n' Biggie)- The entire song, but especially when Puff Daddy does the voiceover where he misquotes scripture and says "Please forgive me, for you know not what you do." to that end, I also love his voiceover in Big Poppa "Tell your friends, to get with my friends, we can be friends. We can do dis every weekend? Dat aight? Dat aight wichu?"

Hey Ma (Cam'ron)- the telephonic conversation between Killer Cam and his friend "L"

"Yo L., I hit it."
"What else?"
"Plus dome."
"Say Word?"

Starry Eyed Surprise (Paul Oakenfold feat. Shifty): "Ladies of the evenin' drinking booze and minglin' "

Welcome to Atlanta Remix (Jermaine Dupri feat. Puff Daddy, Nelly, and Snoop): "St. Louis is the Truth like Sojourner/ Don't need to burn 'er, we learned from Ike Turner/I tried to told you/Don't cross that bridge without permission from the St. Lunatics"
