First one to guess the original by song title gets a cookie.

"In these present times there is something disturbing occuring across the globe and I cannot pinpoint the specifics. Because something in our vision has changed, the way we view things has become distorted! God himself cannot be blamed! Yet, to me, this is not unexpected.

We all exist solely on the brink.

This problem that exists everywhere -- its as if a light source is being extinguished and an uncontrollable fission reaction is taking place in the heavens. You would only surpass me in value if you had the ability to properly select the man with the most wisdom simply by looking at him.

Again, We all exist solely on the brink and there is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent yourself from plummetting to the ground below..."

There's something happening here
What it is, ain't exactly clear

(I can't remember the rest...)

Edit: Or wait no! I've changed my mind! "Livin' on the Edge" by Aerosmith?

Kitsune · 07-28-2004, 04:29 PM

Yes! Hahahaha! Very good.

The idea is simple: take a song, take it literally and change it around without changing the meaning. Sometimes, they are hilarious. This one took quite sometime, but should be pretty easy. It sounds like a really horrible love letter:

"I have a keen interest in large posteriors and there is no method within my power that I could state otherwise and have you believe me. Even my companions of similar race would not be able to ignore the fact that when a young female with a trim figure and large, shapely buttocks enters the establishment that anyone, including themselves, find that person very sexually appealing to the eyes. I could not bring myself to discontinue watching the woman that fit this discription, so much so that I greatly desired to have our photograph taken together. My closest friends brought it to my attention as a warning, but your posterior "causes my interest to drift to thoughts of sexual intercourse, thereby causing arousal". Your skin, so silken soft, was something I noticed the very moment you mentioned that you wished to ride alongside me in my expensive, imported, car..."

First line was a dead giveaway.

Sir Mix-a-lot's Baby got back.

I'm embarassed to say that I own that CD.

Kitsune · 07-28-2004, 04:36 PM

...and my last one for today, because they start to fry your brain after awhile...

"I desperately want to make love to you, all while thinking of you as if you were something other than human and in this way, I will gain some idea of the texture of your internal organs. My life, as it were, is hardly perfect, but these actions we will take part in will further my spiritual connection with the almighty..."

(maybe really obscure?)

Clodfobble · 07-28-2004, 04:38 PM

"I Wanna Fuck You Like An Animal"

But I can't remember who did it... Blur maybe?

Kitsune · 07-28-2004, 04:39 PM

Closer by Nine Inch Nails. I'm impressed!

"I take slowly my ounce of whiskey, coming as it does through my heart. My child, I credit you with this much; your actions have forever besmirched the giving and taking of love."

That was my first instinct as well.

Shot throught the heart, and you're to blame! You give love, a bad name!

smoothmoniker · 07-28-2004, 04:51 PM

nice. You missed one "Baby", but it was the 80's; it could stand one less "Baby".

The structure and quality of my dancing and general movement, particularly the gyrations of the glands by which I might produce sustaining food for my nursing offspring, attracts the attention and therefore increases the proximity of youthful males, to the point where they cross over the boundaries marking my property line. They are reliable references as to the relative quality. I am considering offering instruction in such movement, but I will be mandated to demand requisite tuition.

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard...

Sometime before noon, on the day coming before this one, they mentioned to me that you were no longer here.
Susanne, the method worked out beforehand for the accomplishment of terminating your existence succeeded.
