So who’s seen The Big Lebowski, font of the all-time best collection of movie quotes ever? Just listen:
“The Dude abides.”
“I’m calm. Calmer ‘n you are. Calmer ‘n you.”
“Did I micturate on your rug, sir?”
“This aggression will not stand, man.”
And not only does the film boast this collection of bon mots, it also has the most amazing, eclectic, downright hilarious soundtrack. Anchored by Kenny Rogers’ version of “Just Dropped In (to see what condition my condition was in).”
It is the opinion of this Coen brothers aficionado that in this case, the music came first and the movie second. It is clear that they heard Kenny’s song and developed the character of The Dude based on its lyrics.
I woke up this mornin with the sundown shinin in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
