Quoting lyrics and using as your own in real life conversation

empanadamn

this is commonplace among my good friends and i who share a passion for music, but have you ever quoted song lyrics in conversation unbeknown to that person or group? i know i've managed to slip in lyrics to kenny roger's "the gambler" here and there. i've thought of writing a whole letter to a quarreling lover with words swiped from an album (sometimes songs say it best!). i want to try to use something in an upcoming phone interview for a job.

what about you?

For your interview when they ask if you can handle something outside of your comfort zone:

That's not my job, I don't do that, I'm a pimp slash rapper, I thought you knew that. - Mac Dre

Interviewer: So, in a bearish market, what is one method you would use with this company to manage risk?
E: Sir, I would have to say fundamentally, when analyzing risk, one needs to know when to hold em and consequently when to fold em. Additionally, in such a bear market, knowing when to walk away from a stock and knowing when to run is vital in protecting the interests of this company.

I've always wanted to have a fake lovers' quarrel in a public place using the lyrics from "Lookin' At The Front Door."

I've heard Harvey quote another Mac Dre line, much to the confusion of the woman he was addressing:

"What I look like, Mr. Frank Fuck-For-Free?"

She ain't got a snowball's chance in hell.

I'm pretty bad about this. It's gotten to the point where my girl has asked me if there are any situations that cannot be addressed with a rap quotable.
