OK, try this one on for size: Fleets, regiments, squadrons, and other groupings of those who are innately maleficient, appearing in scenes created by neurons firing while in a state of torpidity, which scenes primarily comprise countenances decorated in an allegedly humorous fashion; said groupings made illegal and attempted to expunge all such auditory stimuli created with the intent that those who became cognizant of the stimuli should desire to repeat the experience, by the use of a false airtight container in which certain persons should be exposed to emmisions which are quite inimical to essential cellular functions. ---

Johnny Cash, A boy named Sue? If I get it right, that’d be awesome seeing as I’ve only heard two lines of it and also a small decription. ---

Apparently, I have trouble spelling “delivered”. I have no clue where “metamorphosize” came from, either (metamorphose, I think). ---

**L-g-B1** : _Ticket to Ride_ ~ The Beatles (Just heard this one this afternoon on the radio, oddly enough.) **L-g-B4** : _Don’t You Want Me?_ ~ Human League (This one, too, actually.) [sub]So, do we listen to the same stations, or does every oldies/80s station rotate the same twenty or thirty songs all damned week?[/sub] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lisa-go-Blind \* > \*\*“We Are Going to Be Friends” by the White Stripes \*\* Kee-rect. And Coldy, will you authorize me on ICQ? It gets so cold and lonely at night, especially when I’m reporting tinfoil hatters in ATMB, and I need someone to talk to… So lonely… ☹ 😃 Still to be guessed: - 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. \* New one, this time it’s rap: \* Move your posterior in a circular fashion, but take care to see every action that you do as a person. Move your posterior in a circular fashion, but take care to see every action that you do as a person. I arrived at this place carrying my genitals, which are those of a male. Do not make me leave this place with my feet up your posterior, I wish to request you act like you are degree that is much below hot or humid. And do not have any worrisome emotions while I am taking large amounts of feces and cutting and ripping them into considerable smaller portions. While I am jumping in a motion that is similar to a hand stand, I will be moving my foot to the body of people of african heiritage, in a manner that would not be decribed as friendly, as I am accustomed to doing. \* Rap is fun. ---

Skeezix and I seem to have similar tastes in music…OR HE IS IN MY HEAD! (Shootin’ em down as fast as I set em up.) Yep-you got it. Terminator…I swear that song sounds familiar…I’m going to have to kick myself when that one gets solved. Quiet Riot, perhaps? Or was I closer with the Offspring? === “Oh my goodness” spake the homeless one, “That which you offer unto others and that which you recieve are completely dissimilar. Consume what is set before you Malevolent zephyrs tug your endoskeleton to putrecense Malevolent zephyrs that will release, release me from bondage.” “Liberate your center of conscious thought, and your gluteus maximus shall fall into formation” “THEREFORE, let it be herin resolved, stated and proclaimed that I, herinafter referred to as the party of the first part, commit to you, herinafter referred to as the party of the second part, that the party of the first part shall always, eternally, and without ceasing, be in an agapic and erotic relationship with the party of the second part.” ---

Both are right, **Skeezix** , although I haven’t listened to the radio in a long time (other than the one I have on Launchcast). These songs just popped into my head, possibly since my friend’s ska band does an awesome cover of “Don’t You Want Me?” ---

Terminator, it has been a glacial age since I listened to their stuff, so forgive me if I mangle, Quiet Riot: “Mama we’re all krazee now” or is it “Metal Health”? ---

No it’s not MrBoy1967, but the reason i said you were closer with quiet riot was because my song is a heavy metal song. A somewhat obscure metal song, however. ---

# Way to go, LGB! I thought for sure someone would go down the route of En Vogue who paraphrased it in the 90’s, but you got it in one! “So I am controlling a personal automobile that is traversing along a major thoroughfare infamous for being a shopping mecca for the extremely wealthy, all the while having in my posession a firearm that combines short range with high lethality-the assembled personages have not personally witnessed the presence of a person of swarthy appearance since their progenitor’s progenitors purchased one.” ---

Slay. Me. This has gotta be _the_ most “lawyered up” way to say five simple words I have ever seen. Brilliant. _I Will Always Love You_ ~ various, including most notably Whitney Houston and Dolly Parton (who actually wrote the thing, I think.) ---

Grrr! “He tasks me, he tasks me but I shall have him!” I’ll get you Terminator, and your little dog too! I know that song! It is sitting in my wall of music, I know it! Is the song a big song by an obscure band (like a one-hit wonder), or is it an obscure song by a big band? ---

It is an obscure song by a big band, but devoted fans of the band know it as a classic. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/intellectualize-song-lyrics-game/189056.md?page=8) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/intellectualize-song-lyrics-game/189056.md?page=10)
