No, it was definitely AC/DC’s Back in Black. I think he’s talking about his post: “Recently returned to my domicile from the state which claims flourite as its state mineral. Closed and securely latched the portal to said domicile. Oh boy.” Illinois is the state, but beyond that… ---

BTW 23skidoo, you did nail that first one. DIO! Xgxlx, how long should we go before dropping hints or giving out the answer? Is “never” appropriate? Terminator- was it The Offspring’s “Keep em Seperated”? “Avian! Avian! Avian! The Avian is the conglomeration of letters representing a unit of language!” ---

Here’s an easy one: A diagnosis from the DSM-IV is not the issue. It is merely a state of minor disequilibrium. I am aware that it is impossible for you to evaluate concurrently. ---

“Avian! Avian! Avian! The Avian is the conglomeration of letters representing a unit of language!” It’s “The Bird is the Word.” I don’t know who does it, though. ---

O, massive solar object which - due to having exhausted its supply of fusible matter - has succumbed to its own immense gravity and collapsed in upon itself, I implore you to relocate to my proximity and proceed to cleanse, expunge, and otherwise remove the precipitation which has, of late, befallen the region. ---

Oooh, this looks fun. Lemme throw one out on the floor: The gentleman in question was stubborn, yet graced with rugged good looks. The female personage was attractive in the extreme. The female attempted to gain access to his funds in an illegal manner, whilst he simultaneously attempted to acquire additional funds through placing her in non-consensual custody; these events took place at the approximate geographic center of a non-tropical urban setting. ---

- The sun is arising, much earlier than what is considered normal for that celestial body. It appears to move in the normal fashion of that of the morning star in it’s beauty. I could not go to some sort of store or other selling venue to purchase myself some nocturnal rest. At the time in which the moon is out, apparently having the feeling of a painful muscle or other such things that would throb, I observe mechanical devices used to observe the earth and it’s surronding areas. I was not understood to the fullest, apparently with the above mentioned mechanical devices. I was a being born of pilfered parts. \* 🙂 ---

- A season that is characterized by falling leaves has arrived, and in my excitement at this seasonal change I will use my vocal chords to my upmost. It is time to re-enter the place in which knowledge and facts are told to us, and we are made aware of this by a shrill sounding alarm. I have new footwear, colored mainly blue. I shall climb the chain link and wire wall, with me my fact books, literature, and my writing implements. I am quite sure that we will have a relationship characterized with happy emotions and good actions. \* 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/intellectualize-song-lyrics-game/189056.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/intellectualize-song-lyrics-game/189056.md?page=5)
