Just for fun, I’ve decided to try my hand at creating a bit of a game here on PhilosYphia. I’ve gone and “reinterpreted” some song lyrics, and I’ll let YOU go and figure out what the original ones are, and what song/artist they belong to! Sound like fun? I think so!
And no, this isn’t copied from anywhere — I really did make these up myself. Hence the quality, but…this is what you get. I guarantee that, unless you’ve been under a rock for the past 20 years, you’ve all heard these songs more than once.
Put your answers in a comment — if you’re lucky, I’ll dig up a prize for the person who gets the most right!
1. The poorly-constructed building of affection, is a small location for the gathering of everyone.
2. I am observing a couple from the vantage point of a storage room whilst desiring to exist as things rubbing in your denim pants.
3. Dump a quantity of sucrose on my person.
4. I offer up an invocation for the precipitation that occurs in the continent of the Sahara.
5. I orally-embraced a female and rather enjoyed the experience.
6. To my dismay, I have gone and performed the same action for another occurrence.
7. This evening, I expired while being embraced by your forelimbs.
8. In all events, spin around, spin around, spin around.
9. Trodding upon, stepping ontop of, shattered crystalized silicon.
10. I possess companions in areas that are not high.
11. Leave, illumination! Come in, evening! Grasp my appendage, you and I are traveling to No Possibility, No Chance Area.
12. Becoming emaciated once more in the village of the cocktails, unable to find my container of sodium chloride.
13. You speak the most fluently when you maintain your silence.
14. The person that desires to be in companionship with you is myself. Far to my interior, I dream that you might think likewise.
15. You are the thing that gives definition to my existence, you are the muse.
16. Each inhalation you have, all motions you carry out, each one of the stable investment funds you shatter, all grins you are not truthful about, I shall be observing your person.
17. Funds available for no expenditure, and young females belonging to myself without cost.
18. Is there space in your schedule to hear my complaints concerning not a thing and all things at the same time.
19. Each moment I observe you I make an attempt to conceal myself; however, when we converge I cannot release myself. And each instance that you depart from myself, my emotions resemble a wilting stamen.
20. All of us constructed this metopolitan area using loud, popular music.
Good luck!
give me a day or two… i’ll figure them all out!

I would say number 8 was Kylie Minogues, spinning around but thats probably a bit too aussie. I know she’s not too big over there..

Patrick: Close! Lyrics slightly wrong on 4 and 8, but nice work. You got Roxette, I’m impressed.
Very Shakespearian!
Holy crap I only got half of them!!! Must brush up. Um, and how did I miss the Britney?!?!?!
*hangs head*
kriss blog: Good, good morning
Kris: Oh, you do read here…good! I wondered if you did or not. And yes, you of all sorts should have gotten Britney.
So which ones haven’t been figured out?
Courtneys blog: Lucky You – Three Memes In One Post
Courtney: Well, let’s see: #2 is still open and #14 isn’t guessed. Otherwise, someone’s gotten each of the others.
#14 to Be with you: Mr. Big: I’m the one who wants to be with you. Deep inside I hope you feel it too….and to be honest, this was not me, but Thomas who figured this one out. He got all the others, except #2.
Julie: Very good! Wondered why nobody got that one before.
OK, Folks: #2 is from the song “Sugar, We’re Going Down” by Fall Out Boy. Lyrics are, “I’m watching you two from the closet, wishing to be the friction in your jeans”. I didn’t really expect anyone to get that one, but had to throw at least ONE tough nut in the bunch.
Man, I even really like Fall Out Boy and I know that song! I’m surprised I didn’t get it. Rargh.
