From the New Wave of the mid '80’s comes…

It is my profoundest desire to be located in a Mexican tourist town (which is not where I am currently), consuming a large, tropical American lizard that has been roasted whole over an open fire.  
Note- this is not the chorus, the chorus is a dead givaway.

“Mexican Radio” by Wall of Voodoo.

\*" . . . . wish I was in / Tiajuana / eatin’ bar-be-q iguana"

Ah, those halcyon days of yut, as Fred Gwynn would have said if he were still around.

Sorry I don’t have one for the list; this was a drive-by thread-scan.

Last chance! 20 minutes til midnight here…

I6W9 1: In the future, I will have a grand ole time in his locality. Then I will ejaculate on his betrothed.

Kind of obscure, rap. Colorful answer…  
I6W9 2: It’s 4:30 and I’m selecting a new ratio.

Little band, BIG hit. This is so easy you’ll smack yourself when you hear it.  
I6W9 4: You can tug on my appendage, you can turn my circular arm, but don’t emerge from unconscienceness, when the hyrogen/helium mass comes back into view, and then try to show your gratitude. You are spending time that I could be exploiting elsewhere.

One hint: N.R.A.

Ding Ding Ding! Johnny, tell him what he’s won! (close enough)

I6W9 1: In the future, I will have a grand ole time in his locality. Then I will ejaculate on his betrothed.

Kind of obscure, rap. Colorful answer…

_I’m ‘o’n’ paint his town red  
and paint his wife white. UHHNNNN!_  
Kid Rock - _Cowboy_  
I6W9 2: It’s 4:30 and I’m selecting a new ratio.

Little band, BIG hit. This is so easy you’ll smack yourself when you hear it.

So easy…  
_It’s a half past four and I’m a shifting gears._  
_Radar Love_ - Golden Earring  
I6W9 4: You can tug on my appendage, you can turn my circular arm, but don’t emerge from unconscienceness, when the hyrogen/helium mass comes back into view, and then try to show your gratitude. You are spending time that I could be exploiting elsewhere.

One hint: N.R.A.

The only winner…

_Well you can yank me  
And you can crank me  
But don’t you wake up  
And don’t you try to thank me  
(You’re wasting my time!)_

Ted Nugent
