"Hallelujah" would have worked.
Steph,
I would have laughed out loud if they had used it. I'm glad they didn't.
Monty: Whaddya mean she ain't my wife? Mal: She ain't your wife... cause she's married to me.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
The most egregious use I can think of was in goddamn Watchmen. I actually started laughing loudly enough to annoy the people around me in the movie theater.
That was so OTT that I would say it was a deliberate parody, except nothing else in the movie indicated anyone involved with making it had the self-awareness to make that kind of joke.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
When Hurley asked Ben to help him with the whole protect-the-glowy-cave mission, and Ben accepted, The Boy said, "And now Hurley's going to whip a Hot Pocket at Ben's head!"
Don't ask me why I just recalled that.

Also, when Lapidas was getting ready to take off and saw Sawyer, Claire, and Kate, I was unreasonably happy that he got to say "What the HELL?!?" one more time.
I think that was the basis of casting him: ability to say "What the HELL?!?" repeatedly, without it ever getting old.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
What also never got old -- Sawyer said "Sonofabitch!" at least three times last night.

The only thing I'm irritated I didn't see is Claire reuniting with Aaron. I would have loved that, but oh well.

Art Crawl!!!
Right.
Naturally, I want to see the lives that Claire, Kate, Sawyer and Richard made for themselves post-Island.
And just what the reign of Hurley was like.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I loved Miles "I don't believe in a lot of things, but I DO believe in Duck Tape!"
I deleted the episode when I should have gone back to rewatch the last few scenes - were Miles, Frank, Daniel, etc. in the Church of the Departed at the end? I don't remember seeing any of them.
And the tailies - was Libby there? I figured Ekko wouldn't be there for meta-reasons, but I'm pretty sure Anna Lucia wasn't, either, and she had made a (great) reappearence.
I did feel bad that Michael and Walt were noticeably absent from the original gang.

Oh, and Richard wasn't there either, was he?

Miles, Frank, Daniel, Charlotte, Richard, and Ana-Lucia weren't in the church.
Libby was with Hurley.
