That’s a bingo !

It is merely comprised of a high angle, self-propelled aerial impulse in an azimuth arbitrarily defined based on the speaker’s position, followed by a rapid locomotive manoeuvre in the opposite direction. Perform a pelvico-phalangial adjunction, endeavour to minimize the spatial gap between the joints of your lower extremities. Only repetitive mock-copulation induces a psychiatric disorder however: I enjoin you to reiterate the chronological distortion with yours truly.

_Hot Blooded_, Foreigner

_I’m hot blooded, check it and see,  
Got a fever of a hundred and three,  
Come on, baby, do you do more than dance?_

Which is a cover of Benny Goodman’s 1938 classic. 😉

Boy, am I ever late to this party! Lemme see…here we go:

The luminous acouterments of a famous southern city have come into view  
As well as the temporary housing named after a nautical rank  
Outdoors, in a well-lit location  
I made the acquaintance of a young lady of the local persuasion

Heh…you had me going there for a minute. 😉 “Hot Blooded” is correct.

C) My solitary, vertical position has been observed by a prehistoric satellite, which emits sinusoidal waves in the range of 4,300 to 4,550 angstroms. Not only is my major circulatory organ bereft of somnolent ideation, but I possess no romantic relationship with any other human individual.

😃  
It’s just a jump to the left  
And then a step to the right  
Put your hands on your hips  
And bring your knees in tight  
But it’s the pelvic thrust  
That really drives you insane  
Let’s do the time warp again!

A few more:

(a) The female in question descends the topological feature named for part of the visual spectrum. Across a near-ebony, level area she is transported upon an equine named for a conflagration; and accompanied by a strong weather feature.

(b) Pyrotechnic devices arching their way through the firmament, happiness in the postmeridian hours.

© This evening is a fine one for lunar rhythmic movements, accompanied by points of light from the heavens reflected in your ocular organs.

(d) It is possible for you to order anything you desire in the eating establishment owned and operated by a woman who shares her first name with the housekeeper on an old but well-known situation comedy involving the blending of two families.

Correct.

It was the evening that the sources of illumination were extinguished in the Peach State  
It was the evening that they executed an adult male who was not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing

“Wildfire” (Michael Martin Murphey)

(1)  
It is of no consequence to me should you choose to refrain from dancing to the music that is currently in progress. The vocalizations that you engage in are of no more than minimal amplitude, while your failure to register sound vibrations is itself a vocalization of high volume. It is possible for me to provoke an emotional response from you, but I would not succeed if I tried to cause you to engage in cogitation. Your procreative substance can be found in the channel for refuse at the side of the road, while your amorous capacity resides in the bathroom basin.

(2)  
In bygone days your speech was admirably eloquent and well modulated. You also engaged in acts of charity towards citizens who had fallen upon hard times when you yourself were in your salad days. Do you agree that this is an accurate assessment of the situation?
