[Iam]

no no - it's Morrisette

Like Prince
or Madonna

lolz

 

[dilute micro]

You're getting right het up

Transcendental's a shit one too btw, bad luck.

It might vie for the best one yet.

Coldplay - Green Eyes

lighter

[ajk]

Let's have some Mars Volta!

Glossolalia coats my skin

Dear mnemonic, assume the form

Both from "Tetragrammaton".

Caressed your fontanelle

Leech by leech on this catafalque

From "Cassandra Gemini".

To be honest, we could be here all night with this lot. Anyone got any Aqua?

 

[Iam]

cacophony
ratification
dissolution
interment

All the same Propagandhi song.

Course, if you know them, they're probably not really that unlikely.

 

[kained&able]

or pop. But then el jefe put bad religion as an example so you will have to be let off.

Bad Religion would probably need a category of their own, in fairness.

 

[Rizzy]

"The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze"
Duran Duran's The Chauffeur. Not so much a weird word, but unlikely for the band.

"Well I've loved a million women in a belladonic haze"
Queen's Keep Yourself Alive. I heard this song really young and didn't have a clue what they were on about.

 

[El Jefe]

Learning the difference between a verb and an adjective would start you off.

I'm entirely aware of the meaning of 'to deliberate', thanks. I just don't happen to find it particularly impressive. So your rather flaccid attempt at condescension looks pretty sad, no?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

But finding 'deliberate' to be unusual in any way, sort of smacks of illiteracy.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I think 'homosapien', used by Pete Shelley in his song, Homosapien, is unlikely, especially since it's 'homo sapiens'.

Silly pete.

 

[rollinder]

what about Bowie's Homo Superier - Oh You Pretty things innit?

 

[Y_I_Otter]

John Prine, on the Sweet Revenge LP:

Onomatopoeia
I don't wanna see ya
Speaking in a foreign tongue.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Mott the Hoople, Rock and Roll Queen: intelligence. Badly used.

Cause everybody thinks you're a sweet little girl with
intelligence in your
feet

 

[Pieface]

John Prine, on the Sweet Revenge LP:

Onomatopoeia
I don't wanna see ya
Speaking in a foreign tongue.

There's a Kid Creole song with onomatopoeia used as a backing vocal at the end - the scamp

I nicked that one off Dub actually.

 

[seeformiles]

Cantemperaneously - from "Big Muff" by John Martyn

 

[bluestreak]

What I find strange is that nobody bothered to tell her before the song was recorded.

Yeah, indeed. What actually transpired is the opposite of what you would expect to have happened. There's a word for that but I'm buggered if I can remember what it is.

Richie Valens - La Bamba

[Nanker Phelge]

'This is no time for Circumlocution' Lou Reed - There is no Time
