We're all stars now in the Dope Wars...
Again, a bastardization of a lyric, this time from "Dope Show" by Marilyn Manson
A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle...
"Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World" - U2

As I say in my post, the inspiration for this line is from Gloria Steinem and originally reads, "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." But a doff of the cap and kudos to U2 for even including it in a song.
Fish heads, fish heads, rolie polie fish heads...
"Fish Heads" by Barnes and Barnes

I really don't know how or why I know this song - probably from the old Dr. Demento shows I used to listen to when I was a young kid. Anyway, since this is a pretty obscure one I thought I'd include the lyrics - you'll probably never hear the song in your life, but it's a good read nonetheless.

(chorus)
fish heads, fish heads, rolie-polie fish heads
fish heads, fish heads, eat them up YUM!

in the morning laughing happy fish heads
in the evening floating in the soup

(chorus)

ask a fish head anything you want to
they won't answer, they can't talk

(chorus)

I took a fish head out to see a movie
didn't have to pay to get it in

(chorus)

they can't play baseball
they don't wear sweaters
they're not good dancers
they don't play drums

(chorus)

rolie-polie fish heads
are never seen drinking cappuccino
in italian restaurants
with oriental women


I go "waken" after midnight...
This is a bastardized lyric of Patsy Cline's, "I go walking after midnight"

Don't touch me I'm a real live wire....
"Psycho Killer" - Talking Heads
