We could have a whole new thread for "Funny Video Clips of Leonard," which could include the entire "Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen" video!

(On an oddly related matter, I ignore the advice of The Banana Song, and keep my bananas in the fridge. They taste great cold!)

Closing Time:

"And the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night"

And to add to that.

"She's a hundred, but she's wearing something tight"

Closing Time

All of Dear Heather and

'Look at me Leonard'

Just a lot of things to do"

"I dreamed about you baby
You were wearing half your dress"

After all I did confess"

AMEN

"And then I confess that I tortured the dress
That you wore for the world to look through"

ONE OF US CANNOT BE WRONG

"So the great affair is over,
but who ever would have guessed
it would leave us all so vacant
and so deeply unimpressed"

from Death Of A Ladies' Man

...it was mentioned before, but it's my absolute top favourite one, so here again it comes:

"... and I can't forget,
I can't forget,
I can't forget,
I can't forget,
but I don't remember what"

the entire "Diamonds In The Mine" lyrics


... and many, many more. My mother, by the way, cannot stop laughing at the line

"an eskimo showed me a movie"

from One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong.

The old improv where LC teaches the audiance to sing:
No, it wasn't any good - there's no reason why you should, remember me
to the person next to them.

It was half my fault and half the atmosphere

From the Traitor.
I love that one, so many layers in that line.

Aah, and of cause:

I'm waited at the traffic jam
they're saving me a seat ...

One of the my favorite:

"let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon"

From "Dance Me to the End of Love"!!

But I don't like to eat there all the time . . ."
