For some reason, certain arrangements of basic parts of speech attached to pitch and cadence got themselves permanently attached to my (remaining) brain cells.  

What are your favs?

#1:

"Her teeth were like the stars above because they come out every night." Homer and Jethro, Live at the Country Club (Side one)

"He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sunday. "  "My God" by Tull (Ian Anderson.

No changes are permanent but change is.
