Zoidberg away!



Round 10

Song 1

During the early sixties your voice came to my ears via the radio
As I failed to sleep and moved the dial to the station from which you were being broadcast
If my tender age did not prevent you.
You did not receive due renown for your sophomore composition
Edited and amended with the latest state-of-the-art machinery
And at this point, the issue becomes clear to me, as you note
I encountered your offspring though I have no idea what the gist of your conversation with them was.

Answer: "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles

Song 2

Claim I am a stranger to you, that my face is unknown to you
Advise me that it is a matter of pure indifference to you who attends such an establishment
Almost waist-deep in the unnecessary fuss and kerfuffle,
Floundering in the combat in which you are engaged
More children leaving home than you can count consuming the darkest hours.
Inventor of the telegraph broadcasts dance music, give your ear to the wireless, do you not recall?

Answer: "We Built This City" by Starship

Song 3

It is indeed good luck that you possess a person who is dependent upon you
You and I began as companions but thinking about you creates a landslide in my mind
The disease has progressed too far and the time to ignore it has now passed
You and I began as companions.

Answer: "Sign Your Name" by Terence Trent D'Arby

Song 4

We do not depart separately yet even so this is goodbye
Perhaps we shall return one day to our home planet, who knows what may happen?
It must be supposed that nobody is culpable
We ascend into the sky
Is it possible, at some point, that our situation will once again be as it is now?

Answer: "The Final Countdown" by Europe

Song 5

I must set aside some of my day in order to cogitate upon this situation
And become adept at diving the true meaning, should this be a requirement as I age
This high peak I have to ascend takes on the aspect of the planet upon my back
Beyond the thunderheads I observe our star giving its light
Helps me to retain warmth as existence chills.

I have experienced bad things as I grow to maturity
Unsure if it is possible for me to relive them
Nevertheless, I am unable to arrest my progress having journeyed such a distance
And alter my existence, in which I have no company at present.

Answer: "I Want to Know What Love is" by Foreigner

Song 6

I have laboured so much, clocking in, a full working day, and to what end?
Please relate to me what it is I possess.
I have a notion that hours, minutes and seconds are creating a physical drag upon me
I fear I shall impact the roof or, alternatively, wreak havoc and destruction upon my home city.

Answer: "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins
