Well, I’m feeling less confident at this now, but I think this goes “If I leave here tomorrow, will you still remember me?” which of course would mean _Free Bird_ by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Yup, that’s it **Marley23**. He’s all excited somebody got it. You made his night.

Oh, and unless I missed it, nobody’s answered this one yet, so I’ll repost it. If nobody gets it by the end of the page, I’ll add some hints:

Can’t believe nobody’s gotten this one. It’s “I Got You” by  
James Brown\*. (I feeeeel good, I knew that I would…)

\*I figured out what the song was right away, but I admit I cheated to get the title and artist. That’s what Google is _for_.

Ah. That’s _Otherside_, by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. (I did have to look up the title, but I knew the song.)

BJ13 - The total of information I educated her in was all-encompassing. She made a gift to me of all the clothing that she used.

BJ14 - Seated upon a disgruntled throne, enraged partitions that burgle the atmosphere. My belly causes discomfort, but I express no consideration.

BJ15 - Ravish me. Ravish me, my comrade.

First, let me say that I’m terribly upset that I didn’t get here nearly in time to get “Walk the Dinosaur”.

Now. BJ13 is “Black”, by Pearl Jam.

And some new ones…

DS1 - Insane person rhythm sectionists people who are depressed natives in a hot season along with an adolescent governmental employee / depressed with a childhood disease as the aforementioned teenager ejaculates into his headgear

DS2 - Should it occur that there’s a person whose presence isn’t mandatory for your survival, then survive without them. Also, should it occur that there’s someone that you can push through an exit, then push them through the exit.

D’OH! I missed “Black”!

What really surprises me is how many of these reworked songs are among my faves for particular bands…AND I STILL DON’T GUESS THEM!!!

Meaningful letter conglomerations akin to doing harm,  
disrupt the lack of audible stimuli,  
Penetrating with great force

Oops, I forgot about this one. I believe it’s still unanswered:

In unison you inquire of me what our collective options are, now that you two have developed twin deposits of great affection for me, and in turn, I’ve developed great affection for each of you. I’m struggling to gain insight into the reasons that prevent us from evolving into a set of triplets.

I haven’t read all **10** frickin pages, but I bet these haven’t been done yet.  
**I6W9 1:** In the future, I will have a grand ole time in his locality. Then I will ejaculate on his betrothed.

**I6W9 2:** It’s 4:30 and I’m selecting a new ratio.

**I6W9 3:** Swallow a hallucinogenic substance to dispel all of your worries, then sit back in your favorite chair and wait placently until you are figuratively transported down the waterway to a lower elevation.
