Oh Oh Oh-Oh Sweet Child of mi-ine...followed by the
solo...great song but after "n" plays - where "n" is a positive integer between 50 and Omigod I burst my brain,
it gets a little wearing!

When it comes to memorable lyrics, nobody can beat Neil Young.

I of course am thinking of his classic hit "Mashed Potatoes," which, as I recall, nearly filled up the entire "B" side of one of his albums. If you had an underprivileged adolescence and never heard this classic, here are the lyrics as near as I can remember:

[minute or two of guitars and drums]
[another minute or two of guitars and drums]
[another minute or two of guitars and drums]
[another minute or two of guitars and drums. Be patient! Vocals coming up soon!]
[another minute or two of guitars and drums. Almost there. I promise.]
[another minute or two of guitars and drums. OK! Here they come!!!]
"Got mashed potatoes". [pause]
"Got mashed potatoes". [pause]
"Ain't got no T-bone". [pause]
"Ain't got no T-bone". [pause]
[Another 20-25 minutes of jamming]
[End of song. Would you like to hear it again?!?]
