Guess the song from the reworded lyrics

Relax, Frankie Goes to Hollywood. (‘Relax, don’t do it, when you wanna go to it. Relax, don’t do it, when you wanna come.’

Who Let the Dogs Out, which was…the Vengaboys?

Fight For the Right (To Party) - The Beastie Boys (‘You gotta fight! For the right! To paaaaaaaaaaaaarty!’)

Hippy Hollow (if pravnik doesn’t finish them before I post this):

  1. Get Into the Groove

  2. I’m Too Sexy

  3. Who Let the Dogs Out

  4. Can’t Touch This (nice hint!)

  5. You Gotta Fight For Your Right to Party

“Take a Chance on Me,” Abba

Ummm… :confused:

Pixies - “River Euphrates” (“Stuck here out of gas, out here on the Gaza Strip, from driving too fast.”)

Electric Six - “Danger! High Voltage!” (“Don’t you want to know why we keep starting fires? It’s my desire!”)

Sonic Youth - “Teenage Riot” (“It takes a teenage riot to get me out of bed right now.”)

Still unguessed from me:

The priest made a happy facial expression as he communicated his thoughts to me.
He asked me to travel with him for a short distance.
He told me I lacked company, and the money and time to fix that.

Oh wow, this is fun and you all are way too quick… nice work Tengu, Dung Beetle, & pravnik! So far:

  1. You must acclimate yourself to the rhythm. As a male, you must make it evident that your amorous intent directed toward me is legitimate.
    (GET INTO THE GROOVE, MADONNA)

  2. Perhaps I am purposely evading knowledge about your horticultural pursuits; however, I am solely interested in levitating.

  3. A pattern of tick marks was applied to my cerebellum by a large airborne craft. This was far from simple; however, no activity fits this categorization.

  4. Immediately cast yourself in a state of rest and nonexcitement. Do not under any circumstance execute an action. Again, immediately cast yourself in a state of rest and nonexcitement. Do not under any circumstance execute an action. Inform me of the time you intend to arrive.
    (RELAX, FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD)

  5. Demonstrate, illustrate how you perform that sleight of hand, a woman stated. That particular sleight of hand that causes me immense delight resulting in a loud sudden utterance from my mouth, this same woman requested.
    (JUST LIKE HEAVEN, THE CURE)

  6. The level of intimate attraction that I have determined for myself far exceeds this torso covering garment. In fact, the level of veneral appeal is at such a height I actually am experiencing pain.
    (I’M TOO SEXY, RIGHT SAID FRED)

  7. Allow me to extend a greeting as you enter this subtropical zone. My companions and I have assembled pleasant activities and contests.
    (WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, GUNS 'N ROSES)

  8. This rotation of the earth strikes me as pleasing to the senses. You must not allow it to recede.

  9. I am desiring information concerning which individual abetted the escape of several quadripeds. I would really like to know the identity of said individual…
    (WHO LET THE DOGS OUT, BAHA MEN)

  10. I must alert you to the fact that certain features are intangible to you. (Hint: “A particular young woman holds sexually deviant ideas, so unusual that this woman should never be transported to a maternal domicile.”)
    (U CAN’T TOUCH THIS, MC HAMMER/SUPERFREAK, RICK JAMES)

  11. You must embrace the need to take up arms to ensure your freedom to pursue exploits encompassing libations, small talk, and rhythmic movements to music.
    (YOU GOTTA FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO PARTY, BEASTIE BOYS)

2, 3, and 8 are still outstanding…

Blur - “Song 2” (“I got my head checked by a jumbo jet. It wasn’t easy, but nothing is.”)

Both right, by the way.

“September Gurls” by Big Star (“December boys got it bad”)

yep!

“Beautiful Day,” U2

You’re right about #4.

And yeah … #6 is definitely the most difficult that I put up there. I’m certain someone out there will know it - it’s not an especially obscure song and the artist has had several hits from the same album.

Nice. Get out of my head!

Although theoretically possible that I might have been, you were
The one who took on a little more than you could handle
According to you, everything was fine, but you were decieved
That female is evil, no question; perchance the ichor is foul.

  1. The gentlemen from this area are invariably togh minded and rugged. If you speak to them in a manner that is disrespectful, they will take you out of circulation, so to speak. They are very genuine; they would not think to be otherwise. However, do not represent to others that I have supplied you with any information of this nature. I have not.

  2. A number of persons will tell you that my feelings for you are not genuine. Give me the benefit of the doubt, and I shall prove otherwise. I will make presents of objects you previously thought not to exist. I will purloin various astronomical bodies.

I’m too Sexy for My Shirt by Right Said Fred

(I knew all that late-night VH1-watching would come in handy someday)

Huh…the last line may be a misheard lyric on my part. It may actually be “I have written my name on various astronomical bodies.”

NWA - “Boyz N Tha Hood”

Correct sir!

Fun game! Can I play?

Allow me to extemporize regarding an acquaintance with follicle-containing glands
not long before present time, she allowed an hydroxyl-containing liquid to enter her alimentary canal
