Lyric Fragment Quiz Answers

Never got around to providing the answers to this quiz, but I guess George, Morpheus, Michelle and other readers got almost all of them. Still, just to make it official, here are the songs:


1. "US inflation" Wall of Voodoo, Mexican Radio

2. "put an arrow" Ratt, Round and Round

3. "take me bottom to top" Donna Summer's Dim All the Lights, which I thought was just a sort of sweet song about romancin' and dancin', but nope, turns out the lyrics are pretty dirty.

4. "elders of the gentle race" Led Zep, Kashmir

5. "cold in the gutter" I don't think anyone got this-- TLC, Waterfalls.

6. "empty by definition" -- Scritti Politti, A Perfect Way

7. "a trace of/hypocrisy" -- Extreme, Rest in Peace (Make Love Not War)

8. "thick and juicy" -- Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-lot. I don't think anyone got this, which surprised me.

9. "wild-eyed boys" -- Thin Lizzy, The Boys are Back in Town

10. "you could sex her" -- Young MC, Bust a Move

11. "Dealin' in multiplication" -- Eddie Grant, Electric Avenue

12. "this issue's gone" -- J. Geils Band, Centerfold

13. "I just drove by" -- Vanilla Ice, Ice Ice Baby

14. "feedin' me soup" -- Another one no one got. I'm not big on hip hop, but man, when I heard this song six or seven years ago, I cracked up laughing. It's Positive K, I Got a Man.

15. "ass like John McEnroe" -- House of Pain, Jump Around

16. "your price for flight" (CHANGED: Was "desperately pondered." Decided that was too obscure. The new lyric is for a new song entirely.) Nightranger, Sister Christian (way easy). The old lyric was from Lovefool by... um, the Cranberries? I forget.

17. "virginal brides" -- Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus

18. "lost my light" -- Tainted Love by Soft Cell.

19. "your exclusive company" (HINT: Spoken word part.) -- Popular by Nada Surf

20. "act like an imbecile" Safety Dance, Men Without Hats

21. "shoot it in" -- Relax, Frankie Goes to Hollywood

22. "great big world" -- I was suprised that no one seemed to get this. It's from American Girl by Tom Petty. After all, it was a great big world...

23. "subtle innuendoes" or "subtle innuendo" Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant

24. "raw like sushi" Ahem. Rico Suave, by Geraldo, or whatever his name was.

25. "little bit terrified" Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bonnie Tyler. Written by Jim Steinman.

26. "tuning in on you" -- Video Killed the Radio Star, the Buggles

27. "eight by twelve four-bit" -- King of the Road by Roger Miller

28. "hating you for loving me" -- Berlin, The Metro

29. "host of holy horrors" -- Rush, Freewill

30. "oatmeal lumpy" -- the Humpty Dance by the Digital Underground

FAA fines SpaceX $633K for acting without its permission "These fines therefore are simply because FAA management has hurt feelings because SpaceX wouldn't wait for it to twiddle its thumbs for a few more weeks. The fines also suggest that FAA management is either being pressured to hinder SpaceX's commercial operations by higher ups in the White House, or that management itself is trying to exert more power over the company, for apparently very petty reasons."

1) Individuals, on camera and audio, stating what they saw is "unconfirmed" with "no specific reports"

2) anonymous bomb threats with no arrests or suspects is "Republicans threatening Haitians."

Well fuck them, I called the hospital and they said there's no confirmed reports of specific individual Republicans making any bomb threats.

Supposedly a Twitter account called "The Black Insurrectionist" has a signed affidavit from an anonymous ABC "News" staffer, alleging that Muir and Kamala's sorority sister exchanged questions behind the scenes. I don't know if this is true. He says he's keeping the name of the staffer anonymous, so there will be no way to verify it even if he publishes it. Shrug. It's not much but a claim.

I thought Donny Iris was super-obscure, but then like 20 commenters told me "Oh I've always been a big Donny Iris fan, he was huge in Pittsburgh (or wherever)." So maybe people will tell me "I still play this album" or something.

Mind blown: "Adult" and "adolescent" are the same word!
So "adolescent" is basically the progressive form of the verb adolscere, to grow, to mature, so an adolescent is maturing. Adult, from adoltus, is the part tense of the verb, which means, "matured."
I looked it up because I started to wonder why these near-opposite terms looked so much alike.
Nostalgia for you all. Autumn...

Way back in my childhood, around 9 years old, there was a day in late September, no specific date, I was skipping (half walk, half run) down my driveway to see if other kids on my street were out throwing ball, or riding bikes, and the afternoon sun was had a certain brilliance and the air was sharp in my nostrils with the smell of sycamore leaves and pine.

And it was as if I could actually feel the earth ...tilt... ever so slightly and the air was suddenly cooler yet charged with a kind of electricity which hit me with the urge to run down the rest of my driveway and sprint up the street to play with whoever I could find and I welcomed Autumn.

Much Older now I am, but I awaited this day as always throughout my life wherever I was. Some years I 'caught" it...other years I missed it.

This year, I await that day. I want to catch it again.

Often called "the black Brian Dennehy," he famously played the voice of Yaphet Kotto and once donkey-punched a sea monster
Update: Now Michigan's Democrat-controlled Supreme Court reverses the Appeals Court, demands that RFKJr.'s name be kept on the ballot despite withdrawing from the race and filing to remove it. The Democrat vote-rigging machine is in high gear now, boy.
Thanks to Sharon (willow's apprentice).
