If6was9, you crack me up!
But…Dutchboy is the winnah!
(PS: is there really a “Clarence Carter” song?)
Yes, that is really a song, but I can’t remember the name…
Nope, sorry. Plus, that one’s already been answered. “The Needle and the Spoon” by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Woohoo! I won!
lemme try tossing out one of these… its going to be a toughie…
“I do earnestly desire that you have your affairs in order, I would like it if you have resolved yourself to passing from this world, it appears that things will be unpleasant in the meteorological sense, a Jewish tradition of revenge is adhered to”
Its a verse, not the chorus… good luck, because you’ll need it.
Um, is it CCR’s Bad Moon Rising perhaps?
Dutchboy, I could be wrong, but I believe that CCR tune has been covered earlier in the string. It was a nice shot, though.
Don’t worry about it-this IS a pretty long string, so its bound to happen.
Here are my unsolved ones yet again, but I promise this is the last time. I’m giving out the answers tomorrow night if nobody gets them:
TR3: At intervals I attempt various projects and am simply unsuccessful in achieving my goals.
I feel my efforts are thwarted, I expend great energy in executing it but my the end result is not what I desired.
It is as if I make a great effort to focus but my aim is not reached.
All my actions and all my efforts are constantly wasted.
(skip a few lines… to the chorus, which I admit I totally tweaked – this is more the essence of it)
There is no diagnosis of mental illness for me, in fact the individual who indicates the need for such is yourself, yet I have been placed in a secure living facility.
Mabye it’s too obscure… but think 80’s, think punk with some crossover appeal… and the original didn’t rhyme or scan either.
TR5: (ultra-famous band… pretty famous song I think. First verse)
I am communicating with you through an electomagnetic device. My larynx has been damage through the use of rolled units of tobacco. At intervals I am convinced to return to my dwelling, however I must cope with my mental storage capacity’s inability to fail.
TR10: (This one is new, so I’ll give it a couple of days if the thread lasts. Heard it a lot a couple years ago.)
Yet I luxuriate in cleansing with the liquid of your previous ablutions
Delight in contemplating your inability to become attached to any outsider
Double the use of a dental appliance
You are a member of the set comprised of the males whom I gravitate towards.
I don’t know about DS2, but DS1 sounds like “Blinded by the Light” (at least I think that’s what it’s called) by Bruce Springsteen.
It’s “Strokin” by Clarence Carter. The line goes “When you can make a woman yell Clarence Carter! Clarence Carter! Oh shit, Clarence Carter!, you know you’re Strokin’.” 
Could it be… “Institutionalized” - Suicidal Tendencies?
Fabulous guitar wailing on that one!
Whoops. Sorry about that…
I thought of another good one:
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.
If6was9-OH YEAH! “Strokin” is another one I should have known-I had an uncle who played that at almost every gig he got. It was the band’s #1 or # 2 request.
Yes! Good job, ** if6was9 **
Glad someone else remembers that song!
That was a great one. Anybody heard from Suicidal Tendencies or Infectious Grooves lately?
Alright, since this has gone unanswered for hours, and to bump, MrBoy, I’ve never heard Infectious Grooves. Are they similar to Suicidal?
WHAT? I thought most ST fans would know…
Infectious Grooves is the side project band Mike Muir formed in 1991! Not as heavy as ST, more funk influenced…Mike’s take on what RHCP and FNM were doing at the time. They did at least 2-3 albums that I know of. I was inspired by the solution of TR3 because it suddenly occured to me that I hadn’t heard from Mike in some time; kind of “Where is he now?”

MRB15
“Verdant farmland is the most preferable location,
The agrarian lifestyle is my preferred mode of existence,
Terra fima surrounding in great vistas,
Ignore the greatest American metropolis, merely provide me with an estate.”
Thanks, I think! You’ve just costed me more $$$ cuz I [bb]have** to check out Mike’s later offerings! "Not as heavy as ST 
, more funk influenced…:eek: If you’re talking funk, you’re talking my language!
p.s. Who is FNM?
Well, MrBoy, if Green Acres is the place for you, I’m not going to argue. I prefer Park Avenue, personally…
And, right you are, KRC
