Excuse me while I steal an idea from Mr. and Mrs. The Big Finn<\/a>…which they, BTW, stole from someone else.<\/p>\n

The idea is this…I crank-up my iPod Shuffle and write the opening lyrics to the first ten morsels of iPod meat that come screaming from the ear buds.<\/p>\n

You, gentle readers, must correctly guess each song and its artist.<\/p>\n

And, oh yeah…you are NOT allowed to Google.<\/p>\n

Whoever guesses the most songs correctly will win a valuable prize. Bear in mind, however, that winning a prize and actually collecting it are two very different things.<\/p>\n

And so, without further ado…let’s play “Name That Mystery [iPod] Meat!”<\/p>\n

\n

1. [Oh, dammit! Wouldn’t you know it! The first song was “Pressure Cooker” by Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown. It’s an instrumental. Let’s try again.]<\/p>\n

1. Come stumble my mirth beaten worker\/I’m Jezmund the family berzerker.<\/em><\/p>\n

2. In the mist of sassafrass\/Many things will come to pass.<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Well, I’m standing next to a mountain\/And I’ll chop it down with the edge of my hand.<\/em>
[Caffe Franje guessed “Voodoo Chile” by Jimi Hendrix. Technically, that’s not correct. “Voodoo Chile” is a different song on the same album (Electric Ladyland). The song whose lyrics I quote above is actually “Voodoo Child (Slight Return).” But…since I made the same mistake for nearly twenty years, I’ll give Franje credit for this one.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Crimson flames tied through my ears\/Rollin’ high and mighty traps.<\/em><\/p>\n

5. When the truth is found to be lies\/And all the joy within you dies.<\/em> [Kudos to The Big Finn (TBF) for correctly guessing “Somebody to Love” by Jefferson Airplane!]<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. When I move, I’m feeling alright\/Bing, bing, bang and I’m ready to go.<\/em>
[If anyone guesses this, then I’ll personally fly to their house and eat the insole of their most smelly pair of shoes. And I’ll eat it without ketchup.]
[Oh damn! Harsh correctly guessed “No One’s Lazy in LazyTown” by Sportacus. I sure hope that Harsh has small feet.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. It’s been such a long time\/ I think I should be goin’.<\/em>
[If anyone DOESN’T guess this, then they must eat the insole of my two year old running shoes.]
[TBF strikes again, by correctly guessing “Foreplay\/Long Time” by Boston! Guess I’ll have to let Jasemine eat those shoes.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. When I get off of this mountain\/You know where I wanna go.<\/em>
[Lady Di’s main squeeze, Gert, correctly guessed “Up on Cripple Creek” by The Band. Lady Di remains unamused.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

9. A cheap holiday in other people’s misery!<\/em>
[TBF shows is punker roots by correctly guessing “Holidays in the Sun” by The Sex Pistols!]<\/strong><\/p>\n

10. Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup.<\/em><\/p>\n

[Euro-Trac emerges from her hermetically-sealed cocoon in France and correctly guesses “Across the Universe” by that band that need not be mentioned.]<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Let’s synchronize our watches, shall we? Today is August 24. You have a week to complete this mission.<\/p>\n

Good luck, 007…and God’s speed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
