Well, my fiends are gone, and my hair is gay,
I "ah" in the places where I used to pay

From mel c:

I turn to glue
Like a flower leaning toward the sun
I turn to glue
'Cos you're the only one
Who can turn me around
when I'm upside down
I turn to glue

Or, from mister Robbie Williams:

with the habits you've learned
but we're the generation thats go to be heard
you're tired of your teachers and your schools a drag
you're not gonna end up like your mum and dad
so come on let me entertain poo
let me entertain poo
let me entertain poo
he may be good he may be outta sight

Gosh. There does seem to be a link between "music" and "limited reading skills". First the shameful music confession thread, and now this. Like little chipmunks, all eager to play...

We built it up and built it up and built it up

And now it's solid
solid as a cock
That's what this love is
that's what we've got.

This is just going to lead to a long and vaguely distressing "God Gave Cock And Roll To You (Part 2)"/"Between A Cock And A Hard Place" thread, isn't it?

That depends on whether people work out the difference between "transpose" and "transform".

I have high hopes.

Well, I did suspect I might be breaking the rules, but "Twattva" made me do it.

I think that as song lyrics are primarily a verbal medium, then some leeway should be given, glue and you and poo and you both rhyme. However if I were to change “I can’t get no satisfaction” into “I can’t get no Satsuma’s” that would be pushing it a bit.

Damn, so I can't have God Shave the Queen? OK, let me think...
Apologies to Faithless, on the theme of plastic surgery;

"..take a face pack face facts/ it's your incision/ you don't need eyes to see/ you need vision"

sorry, that's shit. How about Bob Marley 'Easy Spanking' or Bob Dylan 'Subterranean Holestick Blues' or Alanis 'Isn't it Ironing?' or Kylie's 'Can't get you out of my bread' or... Jesus make me stop...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
10:12 / 06.06.03
So we were the siders?
When the lies tried to beak our balls?
Just the me lig to guide U?
When the kids had illed the ban I had to beak up he ban!


No, doesn't really work, does it? I'll give it more thought and less beer next time. Is actually more relevant to my life, however. I just couldn't tell you how without talking bollocks.

That and the fact that I fucked up on some of the lyrics.

Srr.

Dudes, you can delete characters, you can swap two adjacent letters around. After due consideration, I think one character can be changed in to one other character for comic effect, but only once per, and only if it doesn't affect the sound of the word. (like meet-eet-eat)

This is a more complex operation than "love sounds a bit like 'lav'". Which is why Panrchy is, rather brilliantly, whining when a challenge comes along. I shall thread elsewhere.

You run for cover in the temple of lith, a gnu for a lover and a shop in urine; temple of ovine like underlay
