Intellectualize Song Lyrics Game Lives!

Original Thread

I thought it was time to dust off the idea and start a new thread. The idea is simple - take a song and pimp it out with as many 10 dollar words as you can. Other people have to guess the song title and artist. I’ll start things off:

  • What will be the disposition of that collection of sundry items contained within that voluminous storage device in your possesion?
  • It is a means by which to intoxicate onlookers with fantastic promises of enjoyable, perhaps salacious, activities done together.

Is the first one “My Humps” by Black Eyed Peas?

I think they both refer to “My Humps.” Not my own, actual humps, but… never mind.

Joe

I observe your gyrations, and can intuit that you are cognizant of my attention. Not only that, but you are aware that I would like to copulate with you. You already can discern this.

Yeah, I was trying to get across that there were two people singing different lines.

Here’s another one:

Within a Gulf Coast municipality that lies below sea level, known for jazz music and Cajun cooking, there is an establishment named for that hour when Helios’ chariot first blazes across the sky. Myriad are they who met with ill fortune in that place; I declare by the name of the Creator that I am such a man.

House of the Rising Sun.

The person with whom I am currently in a committed long-term romantic relationship is not overly fond of dramatic presentations of fiction. Neither does this person enjoy fashion, and the wearing thereof. In fact, the only thing which excites interest in this person is myself.

“I have obtained a set of hubcaps, made fully of the homogenous combination of iron and carbon and shined fully,
I have obtained rubber coverings for these hubcaps that are able to grip the asphalt quite easily,
I have obtained cushions which will allow many people whom I favor to place themselves upon them,
and I have obtained a back storage device that is most large and weight-bearing.”

(hard)

The era favoring the Pan genus corresponds to the time I found myself in the simiiformes infraorder: a smaller example of the species found therein, containing not blood within the vessels leading back to the heart, but rather an unbranched alkane with four carbon atoms.

::blushes:: Um, in the last line, that “I have obtained” should be in brackets.
Anyway, on to the next (easier) one.

“But let us stop our pondering on the subject,
And–if you are able to locate it–tell me the set of numerals I asked about,
In order that I may dial it and talk to her remotely, to make small chitchat and prove
that I have recovered from the great emotional pain she’s put me through”

Operator, Jim Croce

Yup.

“Continue what you are doing, my male genetic offspring, though we had a falling out,
when you have finished, all the fighting will have ceased,
prepare your most exausted top part of your body for sleep,
there’s no need to emit saline from your ocular orbs.”

Is the second one The Look of Love by ABC?

Ahhh, well, mine was mentioned in the last thread. Although since no one’s gotten it yet it must not have been that easy :slight_smile:

Carry on, my wayward son (don’t know artist)

I embark on foot in a most expeditiously rapid fashion,
Yet I do not exhibit haste
One who enjoys bonds of comity and affection with a mythological being featured prominently in the works of John Milton
May also enjoy such bonds with myself
In the event that I return to my principal place of dwelling prior to the appearance of the solar orb over the horizon,
The possibility exists that I might enter into a state characterized by paralysis and rapid eye movements prior to the aforementioned celestial event

Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas

Good one! Try this:

“Through intellectual deduction, it would appear that the citizenry has reached a surfeit of frivolous musical expressions of affection,
But my empirical observation reveals this to be incorrect,
However, there are those within the populace who would wish upon the Earth a deluge of such amorous pseudo-arias,
Why are such things inappropriate?”

Friend of the Devil by the Grateful Dead?

“Indigenous beings of the planet Earth continually attempt to denigrate our existence,
For no other apparent reason save that we move expeditiously from place to place,
My surrounding environment appears to exist at an ambient temperature below the accepted level of comfort,
My wish is that I arrive at my demise prior to the occurrence of my frail dotage.”

Silly Love Songs by Paul McCartney?

(the following is not a song lyric ;))
I have nothing to contribute right now, (I’d have to really think about it) but please keep playing - these are fun

Groovy, you are correct, man.

Yours appears to be “My Generation”, by The Who (or, for purposes of this thread, perhaps The Whom)

Yes indeedy!

You are correct as well, sir.
