How about:

I broke up with my girlfriend because she was doing nothing to improve my mental health. My mental health is a concern for most people because I always look unhappy.

And then matters got uncontrollable,
She was reluctant,
He got things how he wanted,
She told him "leave me alone",
He replied, "don't move a muscle".

Come on, you're in luck,
Be quiet, we shall undertake this as how I would like it,
Be brave and let us get this finished,
Only for dating a woman and forcing her into sex, I would never lose my virginity.

Hint: it's a 90s ska punk song.

Opening line to a popular beat song:
"Young Man, one would wager you surmise that leaping at three and a half day intervals is a good idea."

"Jump" is also a euphemism for sex.

Correct.
Next One:
"Of all the substances I have hitherto encountered, you caused the highest reading on my blood glucose monitor,
But I'm ambivalent to sucrose, my sweet, if you are unobtainable to me
From the moment you left me with no intention of returning,
My entire existence has collapsed.
I implore you to gather up the constituent parts,
because my tibial nerve has sensed a fractured compound of Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Carbonate & Sand."

Probably wrong on this one but U2 - "The Sweetest Thing".

Correct!
I took a bit of artistic license with the last line, it probably should have read "because my tibial nerve has sensed that one is ambulating upon a fractured compound of Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Carbonate & Sand."
...but that would have been a bit wordy.

"Don't return until the early ours of tomorrow
Scrumping, baking tarts
Spike our citrus soft drink
And transport it

Skip lightly across our sparkling metropolis
In our jewel encrusted loafers
Perform our happy sliding dance
Sialia sialis where the pirate's parrot perches

Make it dark, bid a pleasant evening
Quiet the mind for a time
We should solve the problem incrementally
You're difficult to trace as you drop from the atmosphere"

I've left out the chorus. It would make it too easy, if you like this band.

You are correct.

Recently with greater frequency than previously,
my mentality prefers meandering into reverse chronology.
Once more I locate me musing
upon the concept of how situations may have differed.
The earth rotations pop in and out like a bat out of hell,
leaving me to doubt the endurance of my myocardium from cradle to grave,
subsisting locally, devoid of your company.


Hint: it's an oldie

MikeyTaylor

OK here goes...

And please, please, please, please inform that young gentleman
I have elsewhere to locate myself in at this point in history.
And I refuse, resist, decline, turn down the opportunity,
To be decapitated for any mere mortal.
And if one must ask the question:
Is that young man worthy of my trust?
Ergo, that is most unlikely,
And I recommend he evacuate the premises.

Hint: she's Scottish.

Gregg Allman - The Things That Might Have Been?

Apologies for reviving an old thread. I was hosting our mates weekly Zoom table quiz and get together. I made a round based on the posts in this thread. Most are copies or at least heavily plagiarised from this thread so thanks to all the posters who contributed.

Here are the ones I used in the quiz. Enjoy.


1. You could say that I'm a sleeping visionary,
However there are more like me,
I'm wishful that in the future you will add to our group,
And the earth will unite as a singular entity

2. Nourish the globe. Inform them it is currently the feast of St. Nicholas

3. Cease and Desist, It's time for us to use a carpentry tool

4. I'm out of the house at the wrong times.
And I've now't going on in my head.
That is according to others anyway
That is according to others anyway

5. My large snake doesn't.
My large snake doesn't
My large snake doesn't want anything to do with you, oh unless you have baked goods, love.

6. Do not hold daytime illumination responsible
Do not hold night time illumination responsible
Do not hold great occasions responsible
Hold the choreography responsible

7. I'm glad you like my hair, I've only recently purchased it. Ah shur, when I come across these things and if I like them I just buy them and don’t spend much time thinking about it.

8. Well, at least we've completed 50% of our journey. We're dwelling on a religious chant.

9. There were a few lads acting the maggot and doing stuff they shouldn't have been doing, then they started to cause hassle in the my area. I had ficticuffs which caused my parent to get frightened and as a result I'm going to live on the west coast - of America.

10. Come on pussycat,
Your mother has some special snacks for you.
Come on pussycat,
you definitely won't find this flavour in any other sanctuary

11. If you desire what's ahead of me, you best not remember what's behind me.
If you desire to flatter me, you'd best not delay

12. My flavoured dairy beverage attracts all the young lads to the vicinity of my garden and they exclaim it's of superior quality to your equivalent beverage, that's correct, it is of superior quality to your equivalent beverage. I could tutor you but I would need compensation.

13. I purchased my first six string guitar, I bought it at a shop selling a wide variety of inexpensive personal and household goods.

14. On the occasion that something is amiss in your locality,
To whom shall you make direct communication with a telephone?

15. Under no circumstance interrupt my progress, I'm currently enjoying myself. My fun can be described as a spherical object.

2. Feed the world - do they know it's christmas
6. Blame it on the boogie
8. Living on a prayer
9. The fresh prince
12. The milkshake song
14. Ghostbusters
15. Don't stop me now

Put your maulers up high, on the condition that you are certainly cool
I'm best pleased when you refer to me as large father
Addressing the females receiving pay, treating black folk as fools
I'm best pleased when you refer to me as large father
You have a pistol on your hip, I request you refrain from targeting the building (what would make you ask such?)
For I view some females this late evening
That should be bearing my child (uh) my child
