white-collar tunes: gospel editionyou know the rules: three contemporary songs will have excerpts listed, but have the real lyrics (not-so?) cleverly disguised with matching synonyms (e.g. - "three blind mice" becomes "a trio of visually impaired rodents"). guess the title of all three songs, and you win a prize of undetermined value and origin. guess the artist, and you get bonus points. because i said so. previous winners have been quellers, callmequell, stacheldraht_ls, a___beautiful___disaster, moofaja, and schletz. do you have what it takes? probably not. prove me wrong! song 1:
incredible deus ex machina! like honey to my tongue (only to my ears),
that which rescued a cripple resembling myself.
once upon a time, i was misplaced (but not anymore),
and my eyes were disfunctional, but now i am able to view things through them.
it was this deus ex machina that instructed the blood-pushing organ in my chest to have anxiety,
and the deus ex machina that eased this anxiety, too.
rare and valuable was the appearance of the deus ex machina
the first sixty minutes i had faith. did you know you can sing this song to the tune of "gilligan's island"? song 2:
arc close to the bottom, tasteful horse-drawn wagon,
drawing closer with intent of having me as a passenger 'til the place of my dwelling.
arc close to the bottom, tasteful horse-drawn wagon,
drawing closer with intent of having me as a passenger 'til the place of my dwelling.
i gazed over in that country with a river of the same name that Jesus was baptized in,
and you know what i viewed?
drawing closer with intent of having me as a passenger 'til the place of my dwelling?
a minute orchestra of halo'd beings giving chase to me,
drawing closer with intent of having me as a passenger 'til the place of my dwelling. this one was easy. but i've never sung it in church. song 3:
the One who saves is back from the dead! as they say in Hebrew, "let us praise JAH"!
the third rock from the sun and the realm oft portrayed as clouds and harps together in Hebrew say "let us praise JAH"!
lift your aspirations and conquests up! "let us praise JAH!"
vocalize musically, previously-mentioned cloud-realm, and the third rock responds "let us praise JAH!" like Christmas songs, this tune is only sung about once a year. word of the day:
rescind / rih SINd / verb - to annul, revoke, or repeal |
