Cryptically-disguised song lyrics

Feeling hopeless about Song 5 so far.

Maybe Saulaac will airdrop some humanitarian aid on this one. ✈

I feel that one will be hard to get. It is well known, but at the same time it's possible you ain't heard it. I can airdrop clues if you want.

How did you get the little aeroplane? That's cute.

Unless Saulaac wants to try, I'll look to the friendly skies for your hint (if he agrees).

For the little plane, I searched for "airplane emoji" and it turned up. Increased the text size a bit to make it larger.

Me too, I'm flying around in circles trying to get song 5. *draws large SOS in the sand*

Please send beer and clues!

Our ace TH taking the controls at Shannon Airport as we speak. ☘️
The suspense is killing me.
Don't forget Saulaac's beer.
Could you drop some dairy cream fudgees while you're at it?

Saulaac · 02-13-2023, 04:33 PM

Wait, TH! Pls put throttle to idle. And Ribbons, pls stand by for gate number.

I've just found it (although I'm a little ashamed to say that I've never heard it, ever, in my whole life of radio listening).

"I receive a telephone communication initiated by you / You called me from the room in your hotel"

"Separate Lives" - Stephen Bishop.

Or was it Phil Collins? It doesn't sound very Philsy Collinsy?

Shhhhhhhhhhh!

I wanted my Irish fudgees.

I've more than an inkling you're on the right runway, Saulaac!

I've never heard the song either. I think I've only heard "On and On" from him. All the more impressive that you figured it out.

Oh man you got it! It's actually Phil Collins with Marilyn Martin and it reached, uh, number 1 in the US and 4 in the UK! It was from the movie White Nights.

Unlucky for some?

Round 13

Song 1

There is no difference, all that gets altered is appelations
We appear to wither with each passing day.
A further location in which visages look upon me without warmth
I would be willing to take motor transport until morning in order to attain my domicile.

Answer: "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi

Song 2

Ascending, once more standing, paid my dues, grasped my opportunities
Completed the circuit and now I return to the roads of my youth
Merely a gentleman possessing a desire not to die.
Again and again, it occurs too quickly
You amend the conviction within you for fame and fortune
However you should retain your grasp on those visions of yours which do not pertain to the future
It's vital to engage in combat in order that they do not die.

Answer: "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor

Song 3

The witching hour draws near, there is a thing not at all good skulking out of the light.
Beneath the light of Earth's only satellite
A vision comes to your eyes that almost kills you on the spot.
You attempt to attract attention by yelling loudly
But extreme fear swallows up the sound before it can be birthed in your throat
You begin to feel very cold and still
Contemplating the very face of grotesquerie you cannot move.

Answer: "Thriller" by Michael Jackson

Song 4

I am most grateful for the occasions you have afforded me
I retain the images and sounds within my brain.
At this point, when we have reached the termination of the illusion of colour in the sky which is ours
A comment remains for me to voice to you, and not in a whisper.

Answer: "Three Times a Lady" by The Commodores

Song 5

Observing each movement in the amorous entertainment which belongs to me and has no logic
Upon the sea that has no end, at last those who engage in emotional comfort are unaware of any embarrassment.
Rotating and coming back to a particular hidden inner area
Observing with the very least speed possible while you regard me and relate this to me

Answer: "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin

Song 6

I feel I'm being pressured to leave, then you change your mind and reverse your decision
For what reason do you damage me so?
The answer to the question of whether I am an obstacle or the most important thing in your life would really assist me
Credit this, never doubt
I am unable to reason it out
However I do not feel free and that's thanks to your emotional attachment to me
I am shackled to you.

Answer: "Love is a Battlefield" by Pat Benatar
