Expressions you use in everyday conversation... that come from prog lyrics

I don't know if it counts, but once in high school, someone threw something (can't remember what it was) that made a high pitched whistling sound. I said, "Sounds just like a flying teapot!"

It got a big laugh if I recall.

I've used these two quite a lot, usually gets a strange look. I tend to use many more Monty Python quotes than prog.

I do use "Happy?" from Mike Oldfield - Amarok quite a lot, my daughter Alex always looks at me sideways when I use it as I used to play Amarok on the school run regularly.

Yes, 'Happy?' is a staple in our family too, from our Amarok parties back in the day. Forgot about that one, although I just used it with my wife a week or so ago. Sometimes I'll preface it with, 'Hap, hap ... happy?'

Once when someone handed me their guitar in front of a crowd, he said, 'Careful with that axe, Eugene'.

I often mutter that phrase upon encountering bad drivers on the highway

[Twelfth Earl of Mar]

Somebody here says this a lot when talk about upcoming concerts: "I'll be there. I'll be there. I will be there!

[Progtopia]

That is the way it is because it is that way.

And the many variations...

Somebody here says this a lot when talk about upcoming concerts: "I'll be there. I'll be there. I will be there!

I've used that one from time to time.

[Digital_Man]

I used to say that one as well as "welcome back my friends to the show that never ends."
