As bad as it seems

Keeping the Faith - Billy Joel

I was going to make a smokin' in the boys room reference, but that was The Longest Time. I can't remember what he was doing in this video, except I think there was some doo-wopping and snapping of the fingers going on....

7. A built in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
And anytime an invitation
You can decline

Killer Queen - Queen

An invitation you can't decline. Because she's a killer and all...

8. Other peoples thoughts they ain't your hand-me-downs
Would it be so bad to simply turn around
You cook so well, all nice and French
You do your brain surgery too, Mama, with a monkey wrench

Little Miss Can't Be Wrong - Spin Doctors

Was it Mini that like this song so much? For the longest time (ha!), the only song I knew of theirs was Two Princes, until this kept coming up in LS, or something like that...

9. You missed two classes and no homework
But your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk

Fight for Your Right - Beastie Boys

GIven your dislike for parentheticals, this song must have been a tough one...

10. Yeah he found a six shooter gun.
In his dads closet hidden in a box of fun things
And I don't even know what.
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you.

Pumped Up Kicks - Foster the People

11. Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination...Bangor, Maine.

King of the Road - Roger Miller

Roger Miller Not So Fun Fact: He was the one that found the wreckage of the Patsy Cline plane crash

12. Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul

Werewolves of Alabama All Summer Long - Kid Zevon Skynyrd Rock


Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that references smoking somewhere in the lyrics (but NOT the title!)

Sunday Morning Coming Down - Kris Kristofferson

Image Bonus: Smoke 'em if you got 'em...



So many memes, so little time....
