songs remembered from just one line

"I remember when Rock was young." -
I get those 2 confused, too. "ROBIN HOOD-PRINCE OF THIEVES." (Will Scarlet, Christian Slater.)

Sam Kinison died in a CAR crash. I'd heard it was a T-Bone crash, but apparently it was a head-on collision with a pickup truck driven by a 17-year old who had been drinking and had crossed the center line while trying to pass someone. (So, he drove head-on into oncoming highway traffic and rammed Sam's car.) BTW, some people might find Sam's last words interesting. He was dying on the scene. He was heard to be having an argument with nobody. ""I don't want to die. I don't want to die." (Pause) ""But why?" (Pause) "Okay, okay, okay." Opinions on this can vary between "the eyewitness made it up or was imagining it" through "Sam was messing with someone in his final moments" and "Sam was hallucinating in his last moments like in 'rapture of the deep' " and "Sam was communicating with someone who was there but not seen". Arguments can be made for all of them, take your pick.

The sentiment sounds like Billy Joel, but I can't pin it to any song I recognize.

Taking one of my wild swings here..... "Letters From Iwo Jima", with the shared characteristic of neither movie being released with English audio??

I actually resorted to sitting with lists of the names of the Beatles albums and the songs on them, then tried to hear each song in my head until I thought I heard that one. -
"HERE'S JOHNNY!"
-
It was a short quote, so it could have appeared somewhere else. Ok, let's see,,,,,

I know the artists, but which song..... "I Am The Walrus??" -
Harrison Ford the Fugitive Joe Pantoliano
-
The theme song lacked the name of the show- "KOTTER." The song had the right idea and was called "Welcome Back." So, they changed the name of the show to "Welcome back Kotter."
-
That's it!
-
That meant my guess was "the Mask of Zorro."
-
"The Mask of the Fox."

If this place wasn't full of Mel Brooks fans, this would not be an "easy" quote. Bart in "BLAZING SADDLES." (Although, I suppose, it could also have shown up in another movie.)
-
No. Abe Vigoda was older than 68 when he finally died (94). Did the show really have a "heartthrob" in the cast?
-
-The theme song hit the charts. It had lyrics. It lacked something important- which sent the show's management rushing to make a last-minute change to the show to accommodate the theme song.
-
-Most of the principal cast went on to do smaller things. 1 has done plays, another has done a one-man show, but another became VERY famous. -One character's last name supposedly translates to "the cattle are dying." -All of the characters were of course fictional, but four of them were notably inspired by real-life people, whose names were partially used for the characters (a first name or a last name.) -In the show's final season, we see little of the show's main heartthrob (another is introduced) and even less of the title character (although he didn't disappear entirely.) -If you like really, really old jokes, this show might be for you. On the other hand, if you've never heard all of the really, really old jokes yet, this show might be for you also, since they're new to you. (The Mrs quite liked that about watching this show.) -This show was never shot on-location, so all its scenes were filmed on sets, which explains why they all seemed to happen in about 3-4 places per season (like this character's home, that character's home, this one's office, that one's work area, one spot outdoors, a hallway.) That having been said, anyone watching all of any episode should have a general idea of where the show was set. -Most of the time, cooking wasn't a subject of discussion- but one character was infamous for making a frightening dish when they made Tuna Casserole. (Even Mad Magazine's spoof mentioned it.) -One character introduced himself by name, adding "The Last." "Tell them why you're The Last." "Because when they made me, they broke the mold." That character's actor had a Dad with severe breathing problems, which inspired the actor to add something to his character. -The show's curmudgeon was played by the oldest actor in the group. (He later passed away at age 68.) The character was actually really good at his previous job, just too jaded to care to make the effort anymore. His age and height (or lack thereof) were often commented on during episodes.

I thought Rush's "THE SPIRIT OF RADIO" was better-known than that. Oh, well. Moving on... -

You couldn't have gone with "Galaxy Quest", where he played Guy?
