...and I don't mean, favourite song. I mean, that bridge, or chorus, or guitar lick---any handful of seconds that just does it for you every time, that bit you're waiting for when the song comes on.
I've got an unexpected choice: when Gord's voice breaks at the very end of 'Summer is Killing Us.' You know: '...praise...[HICCUP!]...es.' I love how, just as you're about to wince, he goes 'WHOOO!' and the band kicks in again, letting you know he (and you) are having a blast. At that moment, you know this is gonna be a kick-ass, loose, straight-off-the-floor record. 8)
That, or the 'dorsal fin' part on 'Melt.' Like so many of Gord's invocations of impending violence and doom, that gives me the shivers.

Any point at the end of a song when you can hear the drum sticks click together.

"Yeah I'm too drunk for this" from Makeshift
"We aaaaaaaarrrrrre, we aaaaaaaarrrrrrre" from Makeshift
"just you, and there's the heart of the melt" the tempo picks up

I love the bridge to Summer's Killing Us. It ain't my favorite tune on the record, but man, that bridge is killer.
"It's a time for more to happen sooner, a time to be a person you still know. To float awhile on your shore power, til you say, 'Canada lost, go home'
Absolutely brilliant!

Absolutely the best part is that bridge in The Heart of the Melt where he says "and there's the dorsal fin closing in......."

The babbling quality to his delivery of "Occurring to each other under the setups of the stars!" and the melodic delivery of "we imagine us here, and here we are" are just awesome. The first one makes me smile, the second one gives me shivers.
"When i ride the tiger hanging on by its eyebrow" is a great line too.
There's quite a lot of animal imagery on this album.

I love the fret sounds when they switch chords at the start of One Night In Copenhagen.
Such a great riff.

"Somehowwwww when the gang in meee is being all that iiiiit can be. Somehowwwww ... somehow there's a plaaaan for a vigilaaaan-te streak" in You're Everywhere. For some reason, the delivery of that lyric almost makes me burst into tears.
The "WHOOO!" on SKU and the "heart of the MELLLLLLT" are great, too.
The relentlessness of the repeated "is _that_ what's troublin' ya, Gus?"es is amazing, too.
