This is your idea of the 2nd best opening lyric ever?
You need some serious seat time in a writing class, because on the STUPID SCALE, this line ranks at or near the top!
Danat 8-27-2007
boly, you are absolutely right. Somebody owes somebody something.
kingmrfat 8-27-2007
Of the thousands of songs ever written and this is # 2.I DON'T THINK IT WOULD EVEN BE 200,000
Joshat 8-27-2007
Sir mix alot speaks the truth.
Hollyat 8-27-2007
You guys are douche bags. Maybe your complex, edifying writing classes can teach you to lighten up.
Tiffanyat 8-27-2007
Haha, Holly. That made me laugh
coleyoat 8-27-2007
I like big butts..................And I hate this song GOD I hate this song
Richardat 8-27-2007
The fact that people bought this crap was even more shocking than the fact that he produced it in the first place. Talk about dragging human beings down to the level of animals. This guy and his ilk treat women like meat. Get out! No, really. Get the hell out!
shattered22370at 8-27-2007
I was surprised that, on either list, THIS one did not make it:
"Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games."
Bred Crumat 8-27-2007
OMG this is so dang awsom woot for big butts
Jimat 8-27-2007
I thought this was about opening lyrics not wanna hear about my fetish... oops fits either way.
corkyncat 8-27-2007
My kids love this song especially my daughters. And I have to admit, every time I heard it, I just had to laugh. It could brighten up a rough day.
amazingglass4uat 8-27-2007
Right up there with, "Who let the Dogs out"
doggggzat 8-27-2007
Hardly even qualifies as a song.(I love big butts too, but raps are not songs)
elephantmanat 8-27-2007
Oh yeah this song will be remembered 30 years from now.
Kristaat 8-28-2007
It's not exactly the most artful lyric in the world, but you do have to admit it's one everyone knows.
Amandaat 8-28-2007
I'm pretty sure the first line is actually, "Oh my god, Becky, look at her butt!" It's just not sung. It's still the first phrase of the song.
carsonnikat 8-28-2007
the hell is this? this song is gay any normal person could come up with these lyrics. "I like big butts and I cannot lie?" how is that a great opening line?
Melodyat 8-28-2007
I can't believe this song is #2 and "Little Red Corvette" is #25.
Melodyat 8-28-2007
I can't believe this song is #2 but "Touch Me In the Morning" by Diana Ross didn't even make the list. Even if you've never been dumped, these are great opening lyrics:
"Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away"
