Like the master said: “FULL POINT!” Skeezix is EN FUEGO! You nailed all of those you guessed, even the Living Colour one I messed up slightly.

And yeah, that was Sabbath w/Dio, with one version on the Heavy Metal soundtrack and one on “Mob Rules”.

…but the remaining ones are damn nasty, if I may say so myself. Here’s one that has a killer video…

“The woman vocalized “I will dispose of myself”  
“These are two-dimensional representations of reality at a specific space-time”  
I am unable to coerce you to remain in the vicinity  
I cannot douse you from my epidermis  
Beyond the metaphorical confines of the aforementioned representations is what you and I are excluding  
Your neurons will not form nor maintain the neccessary synapses to recollect these events, at any rate-”

It is my sincere wish that you should have collected all your possesions and put them in their proper places; also that you should have written such papers as would redistribute such possesions in a manner of your choosing, and made your peace with such people as you deemed necessary.

If it is your desire to obliterate this knitted garment currently concealing portions of my anatomy, close your hand around this spun fiber as I proceed along a heading which does not intersect yours.

Lo there, nubile one, would it behoove you to become prostrate or supine adjacent to my person?

Sturmhauke- is that last one Primus’ “Tommy the Cat”

The monarch summoned the country’s military forces consisting of aircraft that are propelled by rearward exhaust of air. Spoke he: “You shall work so as to justify the money you receive. Cast the explosive devices that you carry in the midst of the mosque towers in the vicinity of the native area of this North African city.”

Wow, it been a few days and no one has guessed mine yet. Well, here it is again:

We are observing the setting in the municipality in the hours of darkness. We are on a quest to find you to instigate a conflict. There is a feeling of malevolence within our cortexes, but it is not novel, and it is known that it negatively affects our mental health.

**Aslan** , no one’s gotten mine yet either.

Boy, you’re all going to be kicking yourself…

\*I myself ambulated across a transportation artery  
I never fathomed the thought that a particular female such as yourself and myself would ever make aquaintances  
Shake hands with a ovaried-maternal-type such as yourself  
with hair of a reddish-brown color and eyes of a warm sandy color like that of well-tanned skin;  
The sort of organ viewing spheres which are quite capable and have in the past seduced me into a state of total compliance with the wills of the seducer, completely;  
To dazzle or overcome by or as if by suggestion throughout me

Also I made the motion to move at a fast springing gait in which both feet are momentarily off the ground in the course of each pace, I quickly traversed a great distance from my original starting point  
Specifically, I sprinted, I sprinted all through the nocturnal period wherein the hemisphere I reside in (which, in future reference shall be the ‘western hemisphere’), because of the nature of the Earth’s rotation and revolution about the sun and of itself, is (only temporarily so) no longer capable of recieving light rays from the sun and hence it is “dark” outside, I also sprinted during the period of the day when the reverse is true and the sun is quite visible. \*

_My father escaped our domestic premises when I was but a wee lad. He left my mother and myself with very little - in fact, all we had left was this six-stringed accoustic instrument and a used container of alcoholic beverages._

That one ought to take no more than 2 minutes. 🙂
