Guess the song from the reworded lyrics

Also known as Oakie’s entrance music when I’m working heel…

Brown Eyed Women - the Dead

Buddy, the life of a nomad was intended to maintain both your liberty and your hygiene. Instead, you’re epidermis is almost armored, and your exhalations practically flammable.

You got that in two minutes? WTF, you looking over my shoulder?

I was trying to figure out another one to post. And listening to a show from '77 - that didn’t hurt.

Pancho and Lefty by Willie Nelson

Another hanging curve…

For 72 hours we were conveyed across the waves, and she was always on my mind.

Louie Louie, the original performers of which I can’t remember.

sigh Getting lit up like a pinball machine. Thinking my ERA gotta be in triple digits by now.

How about…

The singer has avoided import duties, has also transported reasonable proportions of ‘Mother Nature’…

I’m working on it, Biffy! I even called my fourteen-year-old to help me. Don’t tell us yet!

OK, here are the answers to this set:

  1. “Whatsoever I fear has come to life,” Soundgarden, “Fell on Black Days”
  2. “I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night,” Linkin Park, “A Place For My Head”
  3. “Sad suffering, I knew him when,” Alice in Chains, “Get Born Again”
  4. “Hey mister, where you headed? Are you in a hurry?” Green Day, Hitchin’ A Ride

I’ll come up with some easier ones in a bit.

OK, try these. A bit simpler, I hope:

  1. Fantastic, it commences with a temblor…
  2. We are not aged, emotional distress to emotional distress we upspring…
  3. Encased in my ocular organs, unable to respond…
  4. I am the male offspring of irrational anger and devotion, the Messiah of the outlying residential area…
  5. Verdant existence is quite difficult…
  6. No one on the expressway, no one on the sedimentary border of the body of water…
  1. It’s The End of the World as We Know It
  2. Love is a Battlefield
  3. It’s Not Easy Being Green
  4. Boys of Summer

Wow, got those pretty quickly, didn’t you?

But not quite all of them…

  1. Homecoming

Whoops! Wrong song, right album.

  1. Jesus Of Suburbia.
  1. A certain non-commissioned officer had a prosthesis, which he gained one year before the end of World War II.
  2. You, I shall eviscerate, eventually.
  3. Drive that sucker into the nearest fusion reactor!
  4. Zeus and Cronos, The King of the Faeries, the Daighter of the Duke and the Queen of the Faeries, Poseidon, a Child of Uranus and Gaea, luminous gases are capable of unnerving.
  5. We shall meditate, we shall exhibit great discipline, we shall gain proficiency in the Japanese method of empty hand fighting. Then we shall lift ourselves, and bring tears to the eyes of the unpleasant fellow.
  6. All across the land things are in order, but an occultation has occurred.
  1. One of These Days
  2. Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun
  3. Sheep
  4. Eclipse

Nice. :slight_smile: Can you get the last two?

These of mine haven’t been guessed yet. Hint: They’re all singles from this decade.

  1. You claim that all music contains the same aural qualities, yet you purchase it anyway. You cannot explain it away, pal. We should break new ground.

  2. You may not answer to the title of a popular song by Duran Duran, but this does not bother me as I have no fondness for the material often found on beaches or in playgrounds.

  3. Young man, I have not discovered a method by which I can expel your kind from my cerebral cortex. I contemplate only the affectionate feelings and activities directed by your person towards myself.
    And three new ones, in order of easiest to most difficult:

  4. Ever you should alter your decision from its current state, I shall be at the head of the queue.

  5. I lack the ability to verbalize my emotions. However, these affectionate feelings of mine are available at any given hour.

  6. This unspecified thing lacks the capacity to change my position and also does not assist in my getting started in the least. (nonsense syllables) This aforementioned thing cannot bring me from point A to point B, as it is not really my bag.
