I like to use 'borrowed' titles for my chapters, and add quotes at the beginning, to set the mood or as a teaser of things to come. Those of you who have read Watership Down know what I'm talking about; those who haven't ought to read it, it's a helluva story.
My question is, what if I just use a couple of lines from a song that is about something else completely? Would that be confusing to those who know the entire referred work?
As an example, probably everyone knows Suzanne Vega's Luca is about an abused child, but if I quoted just these verses:
I live upstairs from you
Yes i think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
and the story was about, say, a werewolf living in an apartment building who has a crush on the girl next door, what would you think? Amused that the verses fit in with the new setup, or offended that I can't come up with something more appropriate?
