"I got a peg leg at the end of my stump-ah..."


After playing my b-boy cd's all weekend long, I  found some of the best of Yauch.  Popdust listed the 10 greatest Adam Yauch moments. Stereogum upped them and gave the 20 greatest.  I thought it would be fitting to go through a few of the best Yauch lines of all times.  Metrolyrics already did, so did Billboard and diffuser. So along those line, I will leave you with this:

M.c. for what I am and do The a is for adam and the lyrics; true  
So as pray and hope and the message is sent  
And I am living in the dreams that I have dreamt  
Because I'm down with the three the unstoppable three  
Me and adam and d. were born to m.c.  
And my body and soul and mind are pure  
Not polluted or diluted or damaged beyond cure 
Just lyrics from I to you recited  
Arrested, bailed but cuffed and indicted  
Enter the arena as I take center stage  
The lights set low and the night has come of age  
Take the microphone in hand as that I am a professional  
Speak my knowledge to the crowd and the ed. is special  
For I am a bard but not the last one I'm my own king and this is my castle  
Dwell in realms of now but vidi those of the past  
Seen a glimpse from ahead and I don't think it's gonna last  
And you can bet your ass

I drop the l. when I'm skiing  

I'm smoking and peaking I put the skis on the roof almost every single weekend  
Can't stop the mindfuck when it's rolling along  
Can't stop the smooth runnin's when the shit's running strong  
Broke my bindings the lion with wings  
Preaching his word in the b. boy sing 
I am one with myself as I turn to the 
I prefer the dreams to reality  
I prefer my life don't need no other man's wife 
Don't need no crazy lifestyle with stress and strife  
But it's good to have turn to be a king for a day  
Or for a week or for a year or for a year in a day  
Come what may

I'm fishing with my boat and I'm fishing for trout  

Mix the bass ale with the guiness stout  
Fishing for a line inside my brain  
And looking out at the world through my window pane  
Every day has many colors 'cause the glass is stained  
Everything has changed but remains the same  
So once again the mirror raised and I see myself as clear as day 
And I am going to the limits of my ultimate destiny 
Feeling as though somebody were testing me  
He who sees the end from the beginning of time  
Looking forward through all the ages is, was and always shall be  
Check the prophetic sections of the pages

He goes by the name of disco dave
