[QUOTE=sturmhauke] Akon, “I Wanna Fuck You” A new one: The territory of our inception is a place known for H[sub]2[/sub]0 in its low energy state, both in glacial and precipitate forms. During certain months of the year, the axial tilt of the Earth is such that the nearest fiery celestial orb does not pass below the horizon, as it does in more equatorial zones. The generally bleak terrain is punctuated here and there by thermal upwellings of H[sub]2[/sub]0 in a higher energy state. [/QUOTE] Finally someone gets mine. And yours, I think, is Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin? Where’s the screaming, though? 😛 ---

Came up with some new ones. 1. “This is similar to the large body of water which is filled with ionic-bonded sodium, which is beneath the crater-pocked satellite orbiting our planet, the above is identical to the unusual chemical processes going through my brain, which only happen when I am graced with the presence of the one I’m singing to” (easy) * * * 2. “I am very shocked and upset! Which person here is the one producing those sound waves? This is very significant! [using] my musical instrument of strings and hollow boxes! Does the person you’re looking for go by the name of Jim? I am unaware whether the answer to your question is true or false.” (much more difficult, the punctuation is a big help) * * * 3. "You, sir, owned less than a pittiance when you first reached adulthood, and your direct paternal ancestor was able to make his fortunes through his own actions, and your extended ancestors, offshoots, and offspring are rushing posthaste to you, pretending to be familiar with you by hitting you on the spine and begging ‘Will you acquiesce to our request’? ‘Will you acquiesce to our request’? (note that this section is in the bridge of the song) ---

A few more: 1. “I desire that you share the same geographic location I now occupy, Void in the spiritual sense, the two of us perform natatory maneuvers within a glass piscatorial habitat in perpetuity.” 2. “It is not in the least unexpected that I have become the nemesis in the extremis to my existential self, The reason for this non-incredulity? On occasion, I perform pugilistic techniques upon my person, resulting in an unexpected act of waste elimination.” 3. “The current manifestation of a 19th century American literary character achieves an altered state of consciousness from the person or persons currently listening to this composition, In addition, the location he enters in an unwelcome manner becomes passable wholly due to that same person.” ---

(I suspect this might be very easy) I am able to recall, with complete clarity, each minute detail, such that it genuinely seems the event transpired a mere 24 hours ago. My automobile was at rest, abutting a small body of water, and to my eyes, as far as I was able to ascertain, mine was the only automobile in the vicinity. ---

Eh, I’d rather make puzzles than solve them. So, three more. 1. “I, and all the people I favor and favor me, are, in our entirety, completly misrepresented by the population at large. Other people tell us that we have no steadfast moral principles, but the idea of NOT having steadfast moral prinicples is simply unbelievable to us.” * * * 1. “May I make the request for you to sprawl out on the ground as I do, and cease thought on this planet and its machinations? Cease thought on all the things that others have forced us to remember, before time passes and we are required to use that information?” * * * 1. “[I am] reclined in a position where my weight is on my posterior and legs, allowing my skeletal structure to cease movement, and I am unable to shake the idea that I have no other person to reach out to or even talk to, I have meandered aimlessly for 1.609344 \* 10^4 kilometers, simply in order to, as it were, erect my domicile upon this seaport.” Bonus: find the common bond. ---

_I am a young man who’s been endowed with the fantastic qualities of tolerance and endurance. I delay, I linger, I hang on, I pass the time. The minutes, hours, and days of my life are exhausted into the sanitary sewer._ _I am known by the moniker \_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_, in honor of both my immediate predecessor and the ancestor of the previous generation. Said ancestor, two generations removed from me, was rarely noticed in this locale, as he graced us with his presence only semi-annually._ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/intellectualize-song-lyrics-game-lives/452640.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/intellectualize-song-lyrics-game-lives/452640.md?page=4)
