I was listening to Atlantic City by Bruce Springsteen and even though it’s a serious sounding song, and I don’t know the history of Atlantic city, everytime I hear the opening lyric “they blew up the Chicken man” I cannot help but think of the Family Guy chicken that fights Peter. Then I started to think about other songs that are considered be serious affair but that opening lyric is so silly sounding that you can’t help but laugh a little. I immediately then thought of the Skunk Anansie song Selling Jesus with the opening lyric “they kill you with your smelly fingers, your smelly fingers from the sex u had on Christmas Day” . But then everything else in the song is pretty straight forward to the tone of it. What about you?
