The "Guess the Rock Song in High-Falutin' English" game
Edited on Sun Dec-05-04 01:11 PM by darkstar
(With apologies to Chief Happy Butt who used to start these threads about a year ago. Chief, if you go by another name now, PM me.)

For example: "Greetings and Salutations,'Tis I."

If you guessed "Hello, It's Me," you win a brand new 1995 Range Rover w/ GPS, DVD player, and integrated surround theater.

Well, really the only thing you would have won is the chance to put up the next high-falutin' clue.

My first offering:

"Young Lady with Orbs the Shade of Richest Mahogany."

7. Yeah, I saw your TR/JJ thread.
Big Todd head here too. Did you see the Liars tour this summer? I've got a buddy who's sending me CD of the Central Park show w/ JJ. He raved about it too.

"Hold that line, baby, hold that line!"

15. Of course, I saw the "Liars" tour! :)
Front row center in Lancaster, PA. Spectactular. I heard there were even 3-5 tapes at that out of the way show! Your buddy is absolutely right in his assessment of that Central Park show.

From the frenzy of "Liars" right into the delicate crooning of "Beloved Infidel."

Giving me goosebumps right now....

I was very close to chosing something super-obscure, but I didn't want to become a thread-killer. I must admit though..... pedal defenders is a bit silly, but there are NO synonyms for boot....
