Meme of musics

[bnewman]

from jere7my and reldnahkram

Whip out your music program, click the random button, and pick out 10 songs. Alter the name by turning it into a convoluted, wordy synonym. For example: Silent Night = Nocturnal Time Completely Lacking Noise. When someone guesses the title correctly, italicize the convoluted one and put the real title and the person who figured it out.

1. The Fabric Banner That Belongs to Us


2. The Nearest Star Approaches This Place
   "Here Comes the Sun", Beatles, reldnahkram


3. Azure Overhead Open Expanse of Immense Extent


4. Be Identical to a Large African Cat with a Mane
   "Be a Lion", The Wiz, gallian


5. A Young Male Child in Conjunction with the Leaping Amphibian Which Belongs to Him
   "A Boy and His Frog", Tom Smith, gallian


6. The Large Body of Running Water at which Location the Aforementioned Female Person Takes Nightly Rest
   "The River, Where She Sleeps", Dave Carter, spiritdance


7. The Female Sovereign over Everyone Whose Practice It Is to Systematically Mislead Others
   "The Queen of All Deceivers", Allison Lonsdale, fiddledragon


8. Deeds Involving the Creation of Derivative Works Which Comment Upon the Original Work

4., 5. — spot on.

1., 8. — not quite.

My first (wrong) thought for #8 was "Plagarize" by Tom Lehrer :-)

#4 is so close to "Be Like a Bird", except for the Large African Cat with a Mane part....

2. Here Comes the Sun

[orawnzva.livejournal.com]

Yep.

I suspect 3) is "Blue Skies"; everyone's already guessed the other ones I recognize.

9. Hymn for a Festival of Sandcastles

[orawnzva.livejournal.com]

But of course.

7 -- The Queen of All Deceivers

1. This Flag is Our Flag

3. The Big Sky

Close, but not quite, on both counts.

hmm, also, i should let you know i guess, that i just posted my own equivalent of this particular meme, due in point fact to a google search to make sure that the "30 Stories" closing track is in fact called "Hymn [and not "Hymnal"] for a Festival of Sandcastles". thanks for leading me on to this... it's pretty ridiculous. (and entries 1 and 3 here certainly seem like they should belong to songs called "Our Flag" and "Big Blue Sky"... not that i know any songs with those titles or anything.)
