I think you guys are missing a key aspect of this thread, which is that it pertains specifically to lyrics penned by The Tragically Hip. Y'know, these guys:



I don't know about best, but the line from Little Bones that's always stuck in my head is

Two-fifty for a hi-ball
And a buck and a half for a beer


The irony of this of course is that Gord never sings the line the same way twice.
