The original thread was acting weirdly, so I'm starting this over.

According to Kent's post on page one of the original thread:
A song title re-written in completely different words (even articles and conjunctions, unless impossible not to use the same ones).

for example: I post "Transport this person in such a way that I arrive on a natural satellite of Earth" = "Fly Me to The Moon."

If hints are necessary, one can include lyrics similarly altered; continuing the previous example: "Allow this person to observe the state of biological existence as it exists for the fourth but also fifth planets that circle the sun" = "let me see what life is like on Jupiter and Mars."

got it?



To which I will add, please use English-language words only (including loan words such as "tortilla" or "façade" that most people would know).


My epic cluelessness in the area of pop music brought the original thread in some interesting directions. laugh

The last clue was my "Cause the Singer to Soar to Our Nearest Extraterrestrial, Non-Planetary Neighbor" to which Paladin correctly replied "Fly Me to the Moon" (Total coincidence!). I'll let him take the next one if he'd like. smile


The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Not at all, though I like a couple of their songs.

Be back later with a new song.

What I usually do is come up with another way of saying the clue, then I Google what I came up with to see if the song I came up with exists (if I don't recognize it). So...?
