It’s been a few months since we played this, thought I’d start a new game. Here’s the rules: 1. Take any song lyric, be it opening line, chorus, whatever, and replace the words with more verbose synonyms. 2. Post guesses at other players’ lyrics. Let’s go! **b1.** I am unable to recall a single fact. I am not capable of discerning between reality and fantasy. The urge to bellow issues from well within me. **b2.** You have to believe your subconscious apprisals, and release your anguish. **b3.** I intend to repel them, a multinational fighting force would be powerless to restrain me. **b4.** Recessed in an aperture, and I do not believe that I may be rescued. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by brianjedi \* > **b2. You have to believe your subconscious apprisals, and release your anguish.** “You have to trust your instincts and let go of regret” (311–All Mixed Up) Here’s mine: **Km1:** Fall smoothly into the ocular organ of your mental self: are you not aware that you will perhaps discover a more suitable location for frolicking? **Km2:** If you insist that you feel romantic affection for me, why have you forsaken me without companionship? If you insist that my presence is necessary, why do you not contact me on the ubiquitous telecommunictional device? ---

By the way, I think the game might be more fun if we are required to produce the original lyrics along with our answers. The previous Intellectualize Song Lyrics thread always confused me. ---

**b3: White Stripes, Seven Nation Army.** I’m gonna fight em off, a seven-nation army couldn’t hold me down. FG-1: The son of God must have blown air through pursed lips in a melodic manner for amusement and to help pass the hours, days and minutes.

**Nick** , nice try, and I’m impressed you found another lyric that fit, but that wasn’t it. My hints are encoded, so the artist and maybe title are in there. Here’s the first set of hints: b1 - It takes one train to go to the Met. b4 - If she were arrested in Wonderland, she’d be… ---

**manwithaplan** , you got “One.” Here’s a couple more: **b5** - Physician, my ocular receptors have witnessed the Earth’s orbital periods and the gradual progression of dreads without producing saline. **b6** - You have been exposed to reports of affection restoring vision to the impaired, but my lover’s affection causes the fusion of hydrogen into helium in the center of the solar system. **b7** - I began to slumber in Tennessee’s second-largest city, and I awoke in the primary motion picture-production area in the USA. ---

It transpired that he found himself located in an incorrect postion, in regards to a ballistic projector. **SKEE02** : There is an immense quantity of personal riches, simply available to be claimed, somewhere in the world.

**Katisha** , that’s the tune _and_ the lyric. Got it in one.
