The usual trick is to use only the first letters of each word: e.g. something like "Mttboom1cuia!Igdtdts1flIkohd." is reasonably strong and is easy to remember (it's just a song).

Or you use all the characters ?

Okay, I'll bite. Which song is that?

(I was wondering if anyone were to ask ;-) Knocking on Heaven's Door by Guns'n'Roses. (With a couple of l33t character replacements, I admit).

Knocking on Heaven's Door is by Bob Dylan (covered by Guns 'n' Roses).

I stand corrected indeed, sorry. I heard it first played by Guns'n'Roses, and the association is so strong I did not even have a second thought.

Nice. I might have guess it if you'd included the chorus: kkkohdkkkohdkkkohdkkkohd. :)

I thought it'd not be too much entropy, though maybe writing it as "kkkohd{3+1}" could have helped :-)
