The "Guess the Rock Song in High-Falutin' English" game

[darkstar]

(With apologies to Chief Happy Butt who used to start these threads about a year ago. Chief, if you go by another name now, PM me.)

For example: "Greetings and Salutations,'Tis I."

If you guessed "Hello, It's Me," you win a brand new 1995 Range Rover w/ GPS, DVD player, and integrated surround theater.

Well, really the only thing you would have won is the chance to put up the next high-falutin' clue.

My first offering:

"Young Lady with Orbs the Shade of Richest Mahogany."

7. Yeah, I saw your TR/JJ thread.

Big Todd head here too. Did you see the Liars tour this summer? I've got a buddy who's sending me CD of the Central Park show w/ JJ. He raved about it too.

"Hold that line, baby, hold that line!"

:toast:

[bbernardini]

15. Of course, I saw the "Liars" tour! :)

Front row center in Lancaster, PA. Spectactular. I heard there were even 3-5 tapes at that out of the way show! Your buddy is absolutely right in his assessment of that Central Park show.

[darkstar]

19. I caught them in New Orlean, HOB

From the frenzy of "Liars" right into the delicate crooning of "Beloved Infidel."

Giving me goosebumps right now....

:toast:

Is it worth it?

[Ediacara]

38. I don't :-(

I was very close to chosing something super-obscure, but I didn't want to become a thread-killer. I must admit though..... pedal defenders is a bit silly, but there are NO synonyms for boot....
