"Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing"
 
- Barenaked Ladies : One Week
 

"Color me once  color me twice
Everything gonna turn out nice"
 
- Violent Femmes : Color me Once
 

"Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase u
Even doves have pride"
 
- Ani Di Franco : When Doves Cry
 
 
 
"Lucas Corso: Porque o garfo e não uma foice?
 Baronesa urgen: Porque a morte ceifa, mas o diabo colhe."
 
- Arturo Pérez-Reverte : O Clube Dumas
 

"Será que eu falei o que ninguém dizia?
Será que eu escutei o que ninguém ouvia?
Não vou, me adaptar
Não vou, me adaptar"
 
- Titãs : Não vou me adaptar
