there's this song, Silver Screen by Beat Connection. The first lines of the first verse are ' [ [ [the best version] / [of what I could imagine] ] / [ just happened ]] ' And of the second: ' [ She [ just whispered / [ the best [ thing I could imagine ] ] / [ it's like magic] '

The reuse of the words ('best', 'I could imagine' in a subordinate clause) and the alignment between the phrases and the melody – even though it's different in the two verses – really tickles my brain www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fT_...#linguistics
