Of course, when the poll ends nd the lines get jumbled, it'll be like D.Bowie's cut-up technique!

― Mark G, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 10:54 (seventeen years ago)

amputee goddamn you ftw

― That mong guy that's shit, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 11:10 (seventeen years ago)

I've seen the "doesn't hurt it feels fine" line get some ILX love before so my chips are on that even if I'm not voting for it myself.

― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 14:38 (seventeen years ago)

"Amputee goddamn you"

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 14:39 (seventeen years ago)

"Curves of your body... Feel a bit naughty... (But no one ever does)"

― DavidM, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 15:47 (seventeen years ago)

Fingertips have memories!!!!

I wanna publish 'zines And rage against machines, I wanna pierce my tongue It doesn't hurt, it feels fine

― and what, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 16:21 (seventeen years ago)

man, it's even more full of awful clams than I remember. this would be really hard to decide on if the poll was "worst line". but i'll vote for publish zines/rage against machines since that's the one part that did make me laugh the first time i heard it.

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 16:29 (seventeen years ago)

^ yes that is the clear winner here.

― Stevie D, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 16:31 (seventeen years ago)

Lotta great phrases, but no "best line".

― Bob Standard, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 16:36 (seventeen years ago)

Should I have split it down more?

Naah.

― Mark G, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 18:38 (seventeen years ago)

"They cut off my legs now I'm an amputee, Goddamn you" <--- shit just got REAL

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 18:40 (seventeen years ago)

Fingertips have memories, Mine can't forget the curves of your body, And when I feel a bit naughty I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes (But no one ever does)

dirty

― Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 18:58 (seventeen years ago)

"Now I'm an amputee, goddamn you" wins, although the preceding few words are less interesting

― Erroneous Botch, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 20:17 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, best kicker in the song.

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 20:38 (seventeen years ago)

I don't think you 'get' the song, Alex in Baltimore.

― milo z, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 21:09 (seventeen years ago)

Hear the voices in my head I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring

― 69, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 21:11 (seventeen years ago)

who sings this?

― m0stlyClean, Thursday, 6 September 2007 02:32 (seventeen years ago)

bob dylan

― max, Thursday, 6 September 2007 02:39 (seventeen years ago)

I think it's time for mid-late-1990s nostalgia to begin in full, and so it is time for the New Pornographers to cover this song.

― Eazy, Thursday, 6 September 2007 02:48 (seventeen years ago)

eminem

― Eisbaer, Thursday, 6 September 2007 02:49 (seventeen years ago)

I'm voting the chorus.

― Eazy, Thursday, 6 September 2007 02:50 (seventeen years ago)

Absolutely the amputee line. I still love how he sounds so peevish and slightly annoyed.

― Telephone thing, Thursday, 6 September 2007 04:19 (seventeen years ago)

I hate this song.

― libcrypt, Thursday, 6 September 2007 04:27 (seventeen years ago)

agreed. this band sucks.

― hstencil, Thursday, 6 September 2007 04:29 (seventeen years ago)

Best single of the 90s?

― Eazy, Thursday, 6 September 2007 04:31 (seventeen years ago)

maybe if you're deaf.

― hstencil, Thursday, 6 September 2007 04:32 (seventeen years ago)

The crepey vid with all the young dot-commers is the absolute WORST.

― libcrypt, Thursday, 6 September 2007 04:36 (seventeen years ago)

is it morrisey?

― m0stlyClean, Thursday, 6 September 2007 05:05 (seventeen years ago)

He's only highstrung 'cause they cut off his legs now he's an amputee.

― The Reverend, Sunday, 9 September 2007 07:17 (seventeen years ago)

He got dissed by a girl at the school dance when this song came on.

― Eazy, Sunday, 9 September 2007 14:05 (seventeen years ago)

I liked the song most the first time I heard it, when I thought the line was "put me in the Hospital for Nerds".

― Nubbelverbrennung, Sunday, 9 September 2007 14:54 (seventeen years ago)

Awesome response, you guys!

I'd have thought the "Paranoia" line would be higher, but hey.
