Lyrical Befuddlement 1

February 8, 2011

In this game, I have taken three songs and twisted their lyrics around so much that they are hardly recognizable. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to figure out what the three songs are. I have shortened any repeating lines (for instance, Hey Jude would go from “na na na na na na na na na na na hey Jude” to “na hey Jude”), as this might give the song away too easily. Because of this, the song’s music will probably not match up to my puzzle. I have also tried to vary my choice of genre so that everyone might have a fighting chance. For anyone still confused, I have included this example.

I have added links to the answers, but make your own guess first.

Song 1:

I found a witch

Who cast a spell of darkness upon me

She’s a witch

And wants to make me a fiend

She’d better not turn around and utilize her various techniques

She’d better not turn around or my magic wand might activate

I’m hexed

And petrified

I must stay with her

I can’t leave her side

Song 2:

She’s nocturnal, thin, and ravenous

But that’s nothing I didn’t know

Being patient, she may be with you but desires to exit

There is a fee to view; did you think there wasn’t?

She is feral, a feline who responds only to the call of her kind

Funds are significant

Romance will only get you so far

(chorus)

She is nigh

Beware, she’ll masticate you

She is nigh

She eats people

Song 3:

Take me to our satellite

And permit me to caper amidst the heavenly bodies

Reveal to me the nature of the vernal equinox on different planets

Or, grasp me

Or, canoodle me

Saturate my circulatory system with a ditty

And make that ditty perpetual

My hankering is yourself

As is my reverence and idolization

Or, be factual

Or, I am amorously infatuated with you

    Still working on the first.

    The second is “Maneater” by Hall & Oates, I believe.

    The third is “Fly Me to the Moon” as performed by Frank Sinatra.

    While I labor upon the first, here is one for you:

    You are the quintessence of my thoughts

    Yet assets are required

    A great fortune is needed

    For correct execution.

    An era is demanded,

    A great and costly span,

    Forbearance and eons,

    For correct execution.
