HOMER SIMPSON: I want to shake off the dust of this one-horse town. I want to explore the world. I want to watch TV in a different time zone. I want to visit strange, exotic malls. I’m sick of eating hoagies! I want a grinder, a sub, a foot-long hero! I want to live, Marge! Won’t you let me live? Won’t you, please? (The Simpsons)

Look at this stuff

Isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the girl

The girl who has ev'rything?

-Ariel, The Little Mermaid

No one saying, "do this"

No one saying, "be there"

No one saying, "stop that"

No one saying, "see here"

-The Lion King

"At last I see the light. It's like the fog has lifted...It's like the sky is new."

-Tangled

"I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans."

-Lou Gehrig

Thought I could fly (fly)

So I stepped off the Golden, mm

Nobody cried (cried, cried, cried, cried)

Nobody even noticed

I saw them standing right there

Kinda thought they might care (might care, might care)

There's certain things you're s'posed to know

When you're a girl who grows up in the south

I try to use my common sense

But my foot always ends up in my mouth

-Pageant Material, Kasey Musgraves

Sometimes I feel

Like I don't have a partner

Sometimes I feel

Like my only friend

Is the city I live in

The city of angels

Lonely as I am

Together we cry

-Under the Bridge, Red Hot Chili Peppers

They'd say I hustled

Put in the work

They wouldn't shake their heads

And question how much of this I deserve

What I was wearing, if I was rude

Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves

And we would toast to me, oh, let the players play

I'd be just like Leo, in Saint-Tropez

-If I was a Man, Taylor Swift

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be,

I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next you

When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

-I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles), The Proclaimers
