A couple of easy ones to give the game some momentum: L-g-B9)I will violently resist all that threaten me. A military force composed of septuple countries could not force me to seize in my endeavor. L-g-B10)When one is faced with a dilemma, one must strike it forcefully. L-g-B11)A person of mixed racial heritage. A person with a condition that causes skin, eyes, and hair to take on a pale hue. An insect variety in which the female of the species extracts sanguine fluids from mammals. My personal sexual drive. L-g-B12)I possessed a young female at a point in time. Correction: the young female possessed me. ---

L-g-B12: Norwegian Wood, the Beatles And I could find 11 by googling but I’ve never really heard the song and it doesn’t seem fair. ---

Okay, **MrBoy** got **SKEE01** (_Veteran of the Psychic Wars_) Now, with hints: **SKEE02** : Diseased entities in combustion powered conveyances orbit the gaseous stellar bodies that I consider to be personal property. [sub]When this band broke up in the mid 70s, the singer went solo, using the same name[/sub] **SKEE04** : Proceed, and cling to the female under discussion, until the high volume emissions reach a conclusion. Proceed to accept her words at face value when she opines that there is no disturbance of note. There is no other entity but me who would traverse open combustion, simply for your sake. Additionally, none other would be willing to submerse himself in his own yearning for your presence. [sub]Female vocalist, mid 90’s, heavy radio play when it was released[/sub] And: **SKEE05** : It is possible for me to observe all the chromatic hues that pertain to you, in the darkness. I observe these hues, and they are the cause of my emotional attraction to you. [sub]Wasn’t **OS1** actually Julian Lennon, or did he possibly cover it after the fact?[/sub] ---

Everyone got my easy ones! 🙂 L-g-B9) **sturmhauke** –White Stripes - “Seven Nation Army” L-g-B10 and 11) **LilyoftheValley** –“Whip It” and “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, respectively. L-g-B12) **TeaRoses** –The Beatles - “Norwegian Wood” Great job, everyone! I’ll add to my two preexisting songs: L-g-B3)The post office delivered to me a message before noon today. Do you have any insight as to what this note decreed? It cried for me to hasten–the lady I feel affection towards is presently deceased. L-g-B8) If using your voice to loudly emit musical themes is your prerogative, so be it. If you would prefer to emit your musical themes quietly, however, this is also acceptable. The choices you have number a thousand by a thousand, but you possessed this knowledge already. ---

Is **SKEE04** a Melissa Etheridge song? I know I know I know it–it just fizzles out when I try to figure out the rest of the song. I remember! Is it called “The Only One”? Go on and hold her, when this screaming is on Go on, believe her, when she tells you nothing’s wrong And I’m the only one who’d walk across a fire for you And I’m the only one who’d drown in my desire for you Also, George Harrison wrote “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, and it’s on the White Album. I was unaware Julian Lennon covered it. ---

I’m actually really surprised nobody got this one, I thought it would be the first to go: > [@](#): > > **OS2** : You are solely responsible for the events that have inspired me to take rest upon my patellas, while imitating a dog. Here are some new ones: **OS5** : Is the thing you desire regarding the electronic sight and sound box? Or possibly sandwiching yourself between layers of fabric? Or, perhaps you’d most like to engage in a lengthy contemplation of the mysteries of the mute route. Or would you rather ingest sustenance? Or maybe you’d prefer to acquire the ability to defy gravity. Would it amuse you greatly to witness the course of action I take trying to do the latter myself? **OS6** : My mind is in a state of extreme alteration because I have discovered the existence of a divine entity. I’m fairly well stumped on everybody else’s at the moment. ---

This should be easy: At an undetermined point in the past, I was engaging in romantic infatuation, however, at this point I am merely collapsing into an unstable mental state. I cannot accomplish anything; the feeling in my cardiovascular region is likened to the motion of the moon directly between the Sun and the Earth. ---

**KRC** You’re right, except its Commander Cody, not t’other way round. How 'bout these: FD6(1): Exercise some caution with that hand-held log processing implement, Mr. Debs! FD6(2): Dance, dance with abandon, O female who is like unto a refined sweetner. However, please do not disclose that we are acquainted with each other. FD6(3): Here in the purported initial home of the most ancient father and mother of humanity (at least according to the prevailing view held under Judeo-Christian belief structures), are you not aware that I experience the deepest respect, desire, admiriation and affection for you, my companion.
