Time of my life?

In blogdom, which is the most bastardized phrase / line from a song? Here’s my argument …
 
“Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road” (Good Riddance / Greenday/ Nimrod / 1997)

And yes readers, we know that you keep coming back here to hear from my co-blogger. But she is on the verge of having the vacation of her lifetime (or so I think), and so……
