Was (Not Was) - Walk the Dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floorEverybody walk the dinosaur
Like, I think it's implied that the dinosaur shows up at his door while he's watching Miami Vice even though it all took place 40 million years ago? I think it might just barely qualify?

"I was surprised to see your suitcase at the door" might be tenuous but I always assume the person is at the door ready to leave in that line, taken from First Choice "Let No Man Put Asunder" and then sampled in Rhythm On The Loose "Break Of Dawn"

boxedjoy - about a week after I left I got offered to put on a regular night which I had to promote and basically it's impossible to do that, at least to start with, if you don't have Facebook. That, and it's very addictive. It was a very good relaxing week though I must say

'The Day Before You Came' is more vague, and possibly more menacing as a result, but that's another thread.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican)
saying "the day before you came" is "sinister" is one step away from saying "in the air tonight" was about that time phil collins saw somebody get murdered
anyway. barnacle bill.
