[kj] Sehr OT - Lyrics referring to "hands",

[Leigh Newton]

For the record, I'd like to add that the Canadian equivalent to PBR is Labbat 50. Cheap, shitty beer that hipsters guzzle down to be funny and ironic.

body{font-family:Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9pt;background-color:#ffffff;color:black;}I'm more into foreign beers than microbrews, actually. I'm a sucker for Peroni, Sapporo, Singha, Tiger, etc. 
But, y'know, PBR is cheap and has ironic hipster cool cache. Budweiser is just bad and boring.

 That sucks--plus beer went up in price due to a hops shortage. My favorite blue-collar beer is
Shaefer (not a punk rock as PBR, but it has a bit of taste)...

I'm drinkin' PBR because until recently, I'd been outta work for nine months, and can't afford precious micro-brews like Brooklyn Lager, etc.

Alex, now you're REALLY disappointing me..you're drinking PBR when you could be drinking wonderful Brooklyn Pennant Ale
or Brown Ale or even Lager? That's one of my favorite breweries in the US!

No. I mean, I'm well aware of the Dennis Hopper line, but I was legitimately drinking PBR at the time.

Alex, are you referring to the line from Blue Velvet, "Fuck Heineken, Pabst Blue Ribbon!"?

Holy Crap! DAMN YOU, PABST BLUE RIBBON!


Not only is "Praying Hands" an utter, utter classic, but I was listening to it JUST YESTERDAY!


I'm a bad spud.

Alex! HOw could you forget "Praying Hands" by Devo, you drunken idiot?
Also, I think there's a reggae or reggae-ish song that has a line like "never never never use your hands" or something...

  Any lyrics off the top of your heads [that you've heard - no Googling] that directly

  I can mostly only think of 80s songs that do (and Seconds and The Cutter allude
very well to hands, IMHO) but i don't think it was some trend then.
 
Nothing to struggle over, just whatever  comes to mind. thanks.
