I was under the impression that girls just want to have fun (from "Girls just want to have fun" by Lolly) but you're twisting my melon man (from Happy Monday's).

So I wanna know, oh yes I wanna know, what's the (ABBA) "twisting my melon man" line mean?

Ith a mysthewy, oh itth a mythtewy! (Toyah Wilcox)

Did you know...

I got my invitation to the annual levity ball, Seeing the location is within the mirrored room, Walking in my room I found I had nothing to find, I got into my evening wear and left my clothes behind, I sat down at the stairway seven hours at a time, Writing all of this poetry that I knew would never rhyme, The memory I know I must have had when I came in, Was of some place I'd never ever been, And then in came a cake all decorated in my name, With four paper brown candles are all spelling out this name, The clock was passing out from time to time, I saw it all at the beginning of the ending of my first levity ball.

I bet you didn't

Alice Cooper says 'Hi!'

I went to the same place: I must say that I had the time of my life. No I've never felt like that before. Yes I swear, it is true. And I owe it all to you...

I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want: I wanna be 'Lucy' in the Sky with Diamonds.

{and, critically, expensive diamonds please!}

"twisting my melon man" means messing with my head.

shuddupa ya face.

I just complained about this list, as it is using copyrighted song lyrics in a conversation un-connected with a music review.
Let's see what happens.

You didn't hit the button!? Rats: now they're trying to get to me, to take my liberty. Gotta go-go, get out of here, oh no-no: they don't want me here. Got to go-go, get out of here - go home! I said this means nothing to me, to me: the way we were is the way I wanna be. {Levellers}

I can't see anything happening - they seem to have turned their copyright policy into something sensible while nobody was watching...

We've just got permission to reproduce short extracts of song lyrics in postings. So these can stay! Oh goody.

"We fought the law and" we one!

Hi Peta - just two Qs:
1) what about entries?
2) the relevant rules and guidelines have already been updated, right?

MyRedDice - Can't fight the moonlight.

Doesn't that kind of take away the point of this game.

Now you really are being spoil sports

yep: I've modified the entry this is hanging off appropriately - I'll have to think of another game to play with some other aspect of squacking...

We don't need no moderation
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the fora
Squacket - leave us kids alone!
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall.

I have created a new game, which those who enjoyed this last game may be interested in: it's at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A530849

Incidentally, *prostrates self*, my apologies to Peta - I got a little over-involved back there. I was *so* convinced that it would be allowed through that it took me totally by surprise...

Imagine that I sprinkled my post with smileys - is it better now?

Yes it's fine - Lucinda who *likes* trying to walk the fine line.

As I managed to get the complete lyrics to a song in one posting, do I win £5?

No, you get points. And you know what points mean? That's right: nothing. :-p

{Apologies those who haven't seen Generation Game with the chinned wonder, to whom this post will make no sense.}
