Paraphrased Lyrics

[Jack_Batty]

My two hangers …

JB1: You informed me that you would prefer go on haitus and decrease speed in order to achieve a personal sense of self-gratification. As a result I would like to inform you that I dislike you in the harshest possible terms.

JB3: I am aware that those under a suggestive spell always tell the truth.
And one more for the heck of it:

JB4: I desire to oscillate back and forth and perform somersaults for the duration of the darkened hours of the day, and to celebrate wildly every 24 hour period thereafter.

Kiss - Rock and Roll All Nite

[Ponch8]

@Jack_Batty

I can hum the tune, after which I must punch myself in the head because I hate it, but all I know is that it’s by Sean Penn’s brother and the line is something like:

“What if I was Romeo in black jeans. What if I was Heathcliff, it’s no lie.”

Close. It’s actually “No Myth” by Michael Penn.

@Tengu

Gu7 ** - Thank you, AI-san.

Styx, “Mr. Roboto”

@Jack_Batty

JB3: I am aware that those under a suggestive spell always tell the truth.

The Who, “Won’t Get Fooled Again”

BtES3: My nativity took place amidst a severe weather disturbance and gunshots from both sides. I vocalized loudly towards she who bore me among that heavy precipitation.

[Kamino_Neko]

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Mr Roboto are all correct.

[Tom_Scud]

@Tengu

Gu5 - One of our protagonists was male, the other female - I’m sure you can see where this is going.

Avril Lavigne, sk8rboi or however it’s spelled.

Scud1: The low-level programmer arises, consumes a stimulant, and proceeds to his employment.

[Finagle]

@Hoopy_Frood

All I can think of is “99 Red Balloons/99 Luftbalons” due to the fact that they cause WWIII, but I don’t think that actual lyric shows up. (Nena is the group.)

Well, it was ** heavily ** paraphrased. But that’s correct.

[Kamino_Neko]

@Tom_Scud

Avril Lavigne, sk8rboi or however it’s spelled.

Sk8er Boi is the correct spelling. And, yes, that’s the song.

Huzzah, only the hard one left from this set.

Might as well clear up the two missing from my original set, too, since they’ve been out there for a while, and are going to get lost in the crowd.

Gu2 - Please, tell me about his sanity, eyesight, and mobility.

Iron Man - Black Sabbath. (Has he lost his mind? Can he see, or is he blind? Can he walk at all, or if he moves, will he fall?)

Gu3 - My acquaintances are too well informed, therefor they cannot bring themselves to publicly be in my presence.

No More Mr Nice Guy - Alice Cooper. (I’ve got no friends, 'cuz they read the paper, they can’t be seen with me.)

BtES3: My nativity took place amidst a severe weather disturbance and gunshots from both sides. I vocalized loudly towards she who bore me among that heavy precipitation.

Rolling Stones - Jumping Jack Flash … “I was born, in crossfire hurricane …”

[Jack_Batty]

I’m going to out my last hanger too … just because I want to:

JB1: You informed me that you would prefer go on haitus and decrease speed in order to achieve a personal sense of self-gratification. As a result I would like to inform you that I dislike you in the harshest possible terms.
Song for the Dumped - Ben Folds Five …

“So you wanted
To take a break.
Slow things down some
And have some space.
Well fuck you too!”

John Coulton - Code Monkey

@Really_Not_All_That_Bright

RN7: Female canines adore me because they are aware I am able to spin verse in which the ends of each line utilize similar sounds

Mindless Self Indulgence - Bitches

[Tom_Scud]

@Really_Not_All_That_Bright

John Coulton - Code Monkey

Yes. (Technically, Jonathan Coulton, not quite the same name. In the real world he might be a bit obscure, but I figured on teh interwebs, not so much.)

.
R6: I command you to exit your dwelling places, men bedecked in two-tone uniforms, and to engage me in masculine physical combat.

I know enough history to find this one on Wiki, but that’s cheating. The first one I can’t get at all, though it sounds familiar.

I’ll give you more of a hint, Finagle, because I really want someone to get these two. The name “Behan” is used in both songs, although it refers to two different (though related) people.

Well, as I said, with even moderate Google skills, it’s not that hard to find the answer. But that’s cheating. However, if you insist …

Streams of Whiskey by the Pogues

followed by

Come Out Ye Black and Tans by Dominic Behan, son of the Behan mentioned in song #1.

[RedRosesForMe]

Yay. Although Brendan and Dominic are brothers.

Thanks, I just didn’t want to “out” my own lyrics. Even if someone had to “cheat” to get them.
