VAXman's question 2/10/04

[Rick and Roll]

Avain, can you move his question over to here?

Thanks!

[VAXman(Admin)]

OK. The following phrases imply a song lyric:
one entire line or some part(s) of it.

Figure out the lyric and then state the Artist and song's title. For example:

mixed poultry products ... It's Scrambled Eggs
Genesis: Aisles of Plenty

1. saliva sanitation
2. two jiggers of scotch
3. Edison's company pet
4. sacrosanct annal darkness
5. repeated momento theft
6. settled alientated
7. dark azure timepiece
8. tercentenary expiration
9. any departing comments?
10. everyone genuflected

All of the answers save for one are in the AM playlist. All of the artists are in the playlist.

I hope these aren't too easy or too difficult.

[Bob Lentil]

The word genuflect should be used more often in everyday speech.

[Rick and Roll]

Although the answers are not flowing, I think this is a great question!

I've been really work busy and under the weather, so I'm kinda not up on it lately. I'll try to think harder.

Anybody else with guesses?

[progdirjim(Admin)]

hard, but not too hard! Since I'm currently paying for internet access, I may not get a guess in for a few days, but if the question is still open when I return, watch out!

[Rick and Roll]

the theme from Jaws...........

here he comes!!!!!!!!!

Right Jim.........glad you made it.

Wait 'til tomorrow and you may not even remember that the question exists.

[moses]

This is a good question. Here's a guess:

10. Genesis - Can-Utility And The Coastliners

(all bent their knees)

Follow me!
I'll play the game you want me,
Until I find a way back home.

Follow me!
I give you strength inside you,
Courage to win your battles -

Great job Moses!

There are a few that are so literal in translation that I'm surprised that there aren't more answers.

[Rick and Roll]

I did manage to translate nine of them, but between work and illness, I can't seem match them up to songs. Usually I'd be up on them - so, you all better follow the lead of Moses before Jim and Keith and I get going!

I quoted "One For The Vine" as a way to say follow moses.

If you did translate 9 of then, you should have at least 2 or three of the songs easily. javascript:smilie('')

4 - sacrosanct annal darkness

bible black - Marillion - Bitter Suite

"the sky was bible black in Lyon, when I met the magdalegne; she was paralyzed in her streetlight, she refused to give her name"

I thought somebody would jump to conclusions and say it was Starless and Bible Black but knowing I'm a Marillion maven probably guided you to your answer which is the correct answer.

The simplest clue still remains unanswered.

Score so far:

1 to moses for answering #10
1 to progdirjim for answering #4

actually, I never thought of KC - I dislike that song!

1. - saliva sanitation - Jethro Tull - Two Fingers

"you'd better lick two fingers clean, before you shake his hand"

I sussed out the Two fingers one and Jim got it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to the drawing board.

Wrong on both accounts... but I'll give you a hint:

supplicate for *its* cessation

implies the subsequent line in this verse.

[Rick and Roll]

I really wish I could give this question the time it deserves. For instance, I immediately thought of Tom Sawyer with the spit reference, but it doesn't fit. I can't solve these teasers at work (too busy).

Have fun!

yes, they're too difficult. But I for one am not ready to give up. Here's some wrong guesses just to relieve my frustration:

5. No Souvenirs - Melissa Etheridge
9. Just A Song Before I Go - Crosby, Stills, & Nash

All of the artists are on the playlist.
All of the songs are on the playlist save for one.
This is your first big clue: #5 is the song that does not appear in the playlist.

Now there should be no excuses. You're so close to the answer, don't give up.

As for #9, perhaps you'll do better if you think about this one while your enjoying your morning milk and tea.
The band in question is comprised of four, not three, but one has since left to be free.

#2 is so easy. Are there no bartenders/drinkers amongst us? I'd give you a little pinch of a clue but that would make it too too easy.


OK, I've said enough.
