Genny came over and told me 'bout Fred
" He's such a hairy behemoth, " she said
" Dumb as a box of hammers
But he's such a handsome guy. "
And I opened up and told her 'bout Larry
And yesterday how he asked me to marry
I'm not giving him an answer yet
I think I can do better
So we laughed
Compared notes
We had a drink, we had a smoke
She took off her over coat
I kissed a girl
So she called home to say she'd be late
He said he'd worried but now he feels safe
" I'm glad you're with your girlfriend, tell her hi for me "
So I looked at you, you had guilt in your eyes
But it only lasted a little while
And then I felt your hand above my knee
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
I kissed a girl, won't change the world
But I'm so glad I kissed a girl
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
For the first time
I kissed a girl
And I may do it again
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
But better
I kissed a girl
Won't change the world
But I'm so glad
I kissed a girl
For the first time

I don't believe that's correct. According to the link, the lead singer of "Build Me Up, Buttercup" was Mike d'Abo, who indeed went on to join Manfred Mann in the late '60s. But d'Abo had departed long before "Runner." The lead singer of Manfred Mann's Earth Band of that era was Chris Thompson.

The Mechanical aeronautical vehicles that move by use of a reactive engine are going to be in possession of a 24 hour period designated as theirs, during the titled time period.
Any of numerous mostly marine cartilaginous fishes of medium to large size that have a fusiform body, lateral branchial clefts, and a tough usually dull gray skin roughened by minute tubercles and are typically active predators sometimes dangerous to humans will be in possession of their own opportunity, capability, or fact of doing as one pleases, during the titled time period.
The bad news is I'm drawing a total blank here. The good news is I discovered some really cool websites that stockpile songs about the moon.
OK The next lines. If no one gets it by Sunday, I'll go with a new song.
The inhabitants of a Caribbean island that is a self-governing Commonwealth and an unincorporated territory of the United States mutter in discontent "An altercation conforming to established rules"
Yet in the event that the afore-mentioned people commence a street fight usually between gangs
The singers will street fight the afore-mentioned people in a correct fashion
This is turning into an awesomely cool song in my head;
'The flying rocket submarines will have their day, during the new moon/eclipse!'
'The sharks will run rampant during the new moon/eclipse!'
I'll do one more verse.
A certain Ms. Bryant's namesake will come into possession of what she considers fun activities
During the titled time period
She and another will engage in a minute blending together that is not public
During the titled time period
The male participant of this assignation will arrive without the use of any mechanical means of locomotion and in a state of having a temperature above 98.6 degrees and suffering from exhaustion
the singer indicates a lack of concern for this state
His state of exhaustion is irrelevant
in the event that he is also sexually attractive
During the titled time period
"Tonight" from "West Side Story"?
That is the song. And the movie version was on TV today.
Am I missing something? I don't see how your rewording--A period of time in which the nearest luminous celestial body is obscured by the very celestial body upon which the observer is located; said time period occurs in the present rather than the past or the future--is completely represented in the single-word title, "Tonight."
Night is when the Sun (the nearest luminous celestial body) is obscured by the Earth, the celestial body upon which a person observing that it is night is standing. That it occurs in the present makes it Tonight as opposed to yesterday night or tomorrow night.
Oh. Okay.
It makes perfect sense now. I yield to your genius, Quis!
Next:
Distributing contaminated foodstuffs within the confines of a publicly-accessible region of grass, trees, and/or other flora situated in an urban area (and usually maintained by the local municipal government) with the intent that said foodstuffs should be consumed by avians of the genus Columba and with the further intent that said avians should be harmed, perhaps even fatally, by the consumption of said foodstuffs.

"Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof?
"Alliterative Legion Worlder"
I think we need a lyric hit, Rocky
I thought this would be an easy one. I only know one Legion Worlder whose screen name is a song title.
The original clue was "Alliterative Legion Worlder".
The song itself begins:
Raise the uppermost appendage, person to whom I am speaking,
Dab away the cosmetic on the eyelashes.
At this place obtain the brand of facial tissue belonging to the speaker,
Remove the color on the outside of the mouth
I notice that we have somebody named "Old Man" and somebody named "Comfortably Numb," both of which are song titles. However, I'm still drawing a blank here.
It's from a musical, if that helps.
"Suddenly Seymour" from Little Shop of Horrors
I was checking my post count when I noticed the name below mine. Duhhh.
That's it! And apologies to my buddy the real Suddenly Seymour.
Here goes, probably another easy one.
The nocturnal time which is currently upon us is still being utilized by me.
Nope.
The artist was somewhat feline.
A verse:
You affirm it is acceptable, grasp snugly

Well, it's acceptable, grasp snugly
We can utilize the full daytime hours or we may ambulate quickly during darkness,
Well it's acceptable, during darkness,
Well it is time to return to our dwelling
And I ain't even done with the night,
but the nocturnal time which is currently upon us is still being utilized by me.
(Tee Hee! I kind of enjoy being the stumper, not the stumped!)
The title includes the word "Ain't"
"Ain't Done With The Night " - John Cougar Mellencamp ?

"You Got Lucky" by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers?
Good guess, but no.
Here's part of the chorus:
During the interval in which the person spoken to beholds a fortuity, that person should act upon the fortuity. Locate a love story, feign same.
"While you see a chance, take it - find romance, fake it."
While You See a Chance - Steve Winwood
Although I always thought it was "WHEN you see a chance." Hurm.
That's it, Gamara--and just in time, too. I was beginning to think I'd have to reword the first verse.
Some Of us am nOT edjamacated.
Funny--of all the song titles I've posted, this was the one I didn't try very hard to reword. I posted it eight minutes after Lardy confirmed the previous answer with just some help from my trusty thesaurus. I figured someone would get it quickly.
Edjamacated or obscure on my part?
Nah. I'm just dense. I didn't get the last few either.
OK, sorry to take so lng, slipped my mind!
Next one:
Entirely, in fact quite, non-deceased.
Simple Minds: Alive and Kicking ?
Nope once again. SO close, though.
OK looks like this one is stuck. Here's the first line:
The speaker is unaware of the specific hue of the visual organs of the addressed, however, the locks of same are rather extensive and match the tint of chocolate. The mobility-oriented appendages of the addressed are powerful and the addressed is considerably lengthier then the average and the owner thereof is not originally for the same municipality in which the conversation occurs.
Anyone? Buehler?
Correction - not originally FROM the same municipality.

Amazing; I thought this one was easy ...

-the title is also the first line of the song.
-two of the words in LardLad's guess are in the title, but the song is older.

New song title:

Men In My Life by Anita Baker is not the one I am looking for.

How do you solve a problem like Maria?
You are correct about mine.

OK, here goes - though honestly I don't imagine it will help:

The singer is combusting on behalf of the person addressed.
"Burning for You" by Blue Oyster Cult?
This one must have disconcerted everybody. Here's the first verse:
Multitudes transport themselves to an exterior location
Multitudes transport themselves to an interior location
Wherefore owing to an epidermal pigmentation
Abscond, abscond, abscond; however, the person being addressed lacks the capacity for concealment
A light-detecting organ to be traded for same; a mandibular canine likewise.

I'll defer to you, Quis, or anybody who wants it.
OK
An atmosphere of good fellowship in regards to the 1440 minute period marking the anniversary of the listener's emergence from the maternal cavity is extended to the listener.

The singer is ambulating atop the direct rays of the closest stellar mass in relation to our terrestrial sphere
Yes. Although I remembered (incorrectly) the title as "I'm ..." Hence the "The singer is..."
Clue time?
Here's the first verse:
Deep hole in the ground, the speaker encountered a divine descendent
Sauntering abreast of a certain thoroughfare
Thereupon the speaker inquired of the other’s destination
As follows the other responded
Declared, the other intends to descend upon a grange owned by a Russian-Jewish scion
To affiliate with a indigenous American music assemblage.
Must return to topsoil thereupon to manumit the immaterial force within self.
Still no takers?
Here are two more clues:
1. One-word title, mentioned only once in the song, and
2. The chorus:
The collective singers claim to be the answer to cleome's previous puzzle;
They also claim to be of yellow or yellowish-brown color.
Furthermore, they require return transportation for those identical ones that they are toward a particular plot of ground where herbs, fruits, flowers, or vegetables are cultivated.
Come on, classic rock fans: You should know this!
Joni Mitchell's
Woodstock ?
That's it, cleome! Also a hit single for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, who were actually at Woodstock. Mitchell wasn't--she watched it on TV.
(I think she drew/painted the cover of the CSN&Y album that has their version of the song, as well.)
Permit Pleasurable Moments To Move As Does A Round Stone When Pushed By Gravity Down A Hill
(Note: More Than One "Classic" Song exists with this title. I can think of two off the top of my head, and I will accept either one.)
Okay, hint:
Five Words in the title.
The earlier song containing the title opens with the following lines:
Attention, all people, permit us all to enjoy ourselves
Second party (pl.) gets a single go-round on the mortal plane. After that it's all finished.
Permit Pleasurable Moments To Move As Does A Round Stone When Pushed By Gravity Down A Hill
Age is of no consequence. I insist: permit Pleasurable Moments To Move As Does A Round Stone When Pushed By Gravity Down A Hill...
The other song that's well-known and has the same title begins as follows:
Permit Pleasurable Moments To Move As Does A Round Stone When Pushed By Gravity Down A Hill
Permit such moments to impact the second party as though said party were the ball in a game of racquetball
Permit Pleasurable Moments To Move As Does A Round Stone When Pushed By Gravity Down A Hill
Permit such moments to induce comical behavior in the second party...
Yep. Louis Jordan or The Cars. Take your pick.
The singer will be immortal
"Fame," as sung by Irene Cara?
'I Will Survive,' by Gloria Gaynor?
Cleome is close. Set is incorrect.
Actually cleome has it. I thought that the title was Fame (I'm gonna live forever) and when I first looked it up found the song named "I'm Gonna Live Forever". Now upon checking again, I see the song titled "Fame".
If I had "Fame" or "Fame (I'm gonna live forever)" as the title, my alternative title would have been:
Public estimation or popular acclaim
Okay then. Here's another:
Keep a tight grip upon an object generally perceived as straight and narrow. [Could be a rope, for example.]
First lyric:
The narrator denies the importance of the manner the second party employs when gripping the narrator
Likewise the importance of the manner the second party employs while expressing feelings of empathy
The narrator denies the importance of the manner the second party employs while interacting with the narrator's closest associates
Likewise the importance of the manner the second party employs while remaining present, even when events have concluded
The narrator denies the importance of the manner the second party employs when presenting herself/himself physically
Much less what actions the second party verbally notes s/he plans on pursuing at some future date
Additional hints. Here's the chorus:
Keep a tight grip upon an object generally perceived as straight and narrow.
Affection doesn't stick to a set schedule.
(Repeat twice.)
By the way, the title is three words long.
Hold the Line by Toto? (I haven't read the hints yet, so I could be way off. I just wanted to try based off of the first post.)
Set is correct!
The listener is admonished to regard with no apprehension the symbolic embodiment of the permanant cessation of vital functions.
Exactly so, your turn, Jerry.
A fine piece of material, of the darkest color and of significant measurement from end to end, that is used to cover the face.
Any guesses? This shouldn't be too hard. I'm assuming people are bored with the game instead of stumped. If anyone is trying and needs a clue let me know.
Still interested, Jerry, but haven't a clue. Neither do the guys in my art/writing group with whom I just shared your puzzle.
Would that be Johnny Cash's "Long Black Veil"?
That's it, Cleome. You're up.
Okay, then.
Spectral formation, contained by s/he whom the narrator addresses.
Title is four words long
First set of lyrics:
One person bearing XY chromosomes, and who wears the narrator's footwear as his own, moves through an intersection without heeding proper traffic procedures
Also, printed media is not to be trusted this evening
However, current events descend upon s/he whom the narrator addresses
Seraphs descend as if they were the proverbial "cats and dogs"
Also affection can be found in the total distance between here and Paradise
Chorus:
Contained by the person addressed, exists the measure of a mobile duration
Also, that duration (using a feminine pronoun) fails to vanish
Spectral formation, contained by s/he whom the narrator addresses
Also, that duration (in the feminine tense) fails to vanish...
Second set of lyrics:
Competition ensues (as in an athletic or vehicular endeavor), the narrator expresses feelings of kinship with the addressed party
Also, the narrator hears his/her motor cease operation
The narrator's emotional state is that of desiring the addressed party's company, desiring an escape (perhaps by foot)
Celestial bodies descend like the proverbial "cats and dogs"
Also, affection isn't transferable for free
[Or, colloquially: affection exists for the taking, but nobody seems to want it]
[repeat chorus]
Forget departure,
That defies logic
Considering the totality of mega-powered males in the addressed party's possession
Only subtract/remove measurements as seen on a clock
Also affection can be found in the total distance between here and Paradise
[repeat chorus]
Additional hint:
Popular song in the 1980s, though not in the American Top 40.
The only one that fits seems to be 'Ghost in You' by Counting Crows, but that's only three words for the title...
Set wins on a technicality.
"The Ghost In You" is originally by the Psychedelic Furs. It reached No. 59 on the U.S. charts in 1984. (No. 68 in the U.K.)
Woot, technicality for the win!
Engaged in an accelerated state of ambulation adjacent to the personification of Judeo-Christian evil.
Running With the Devil by Van Halen?
Running it is, He Who Wanders is up!
Irrecoverable position surrounded by a strong feeling of regard
That's it, Lardy. I'm not a fan of Air Supply (too tame!), but I did enjoy this, their first hit, when it hit the airwaves in 1980.
presence or participation not wanted
Some lyrical hints, then?
As every individual would feel in this situation
This speaker feels complimented with the one spoken to's obsession of the speaker
As every fiery-sanguined female
This speaker has only desired something to hunger for
Wow! I didn't think this one would be so tuff!
Here's the refrain...in other words, of course:
However the one spoken to is denied
The second person's participation unwanted
An infelicitous affront
Man, can't believe this one is so hard! Never thought of it as an obscure song, but I may be mistaken. Some nonlyrical clues, perhaps?
Female solo artist. Title is one word long which contains a prefix. Song was featured in the soundtrack of a film with heavenly implications.
Does that help?
Drawing a blank here.
Sorry, L.
Uninvited, Alanis Morrissette.
YES!! FINALLY!!!
Your turn, Set!
Woot. New song title;
Position in physical space representing the terminus of a journey, which remains unidentified.
Destination Unknown by Missing Persons?
That was fast! Yes!
I love glam rock.
Brought to destruction or ruin-the lyrical composition about a knitted jacket or jersey
Wow, I thought this was easy! Maybe it was more obscure than I thought, like "Uninvited"?
Lyrics?
Chorus:
Should the listener desire to annhilate my cardigan, tow this braid while the singer advances hence.
Observe as I unwind, for the singer shall forthwith become disrobed.
Reclining atop the ground, the singer has emerged destroyed.
The verses are pretty unrecognizable, but if you've ever heard this song, this refrain is what will ring a bell.
Undone (The Sweater Song) by Weezer
A person with a diminutive epithet meaning light can be found in the firmament accompanied by an allotrope of carbon.
(edited only to correct the spelling of "diminutive")
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star ??
Nope, not Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
That would be:
Shine with a flickering or sparkling light and again, the opposite of a massive stellar body
Shine On You Crazy Diamond?
Nope. I have never heard of that song.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds it is.
Cool, new one;
Male Homo Sapiens Sapiens herein differentiated from others of that morphology for the action of completing a commercial transaction for goods and / or services of the entire physical planetary body.
The Man Who Sold the World
And Stealth got it the same day it was posted! I need to try harder.
On a higher plane of existence, there is awareness that one individual is currently feeling unhappy.
It's a song of more recent vintage than My Blue Heaven; you're on the right track, though, because "Heaven" is in the title.
"Heaven knows I'm miserable now"-The Smiths
Lardi's got it! My favourite Smiths song.
Maybe this one will be easier than my last two:
The period during which the earth makes one rotation on its axis which won't arrive at any point in time.
Another stumper, huh? Since I'm not in the mood to translate lyrics, shall we try an opposite title? Here goes:
The Evening Which Always Leaves
(Since I made it fairly easy, please include the atrist. Thanks!)
If Tomorrow Never Comes ?
Nope! But two of the words are right. This song is barely a year old, btw.
I'll try to simplify. The title except for two words:
The ____ ____ Never Comes
The act that created this song has been pretty much the most successful and long-lived metal band dating back to the '80s.
The Day that Never Comes by Metallica
oops, left this one for a while. Lets try...
A collection of water droplets high in the atmosphere floating above a populous western state.
A hint might help. The only song I can think of is "It Never Rains In Southern California," but that doesn't match all of the words.
nope thats not it....
The group is a metal band, their name in other words would be...
Satan's chauffeur
The line right before the title goes...
A singular person refering to themselves is a holy person in a mildly evil persons occular orbs
Alright, noone has it yet so I'll revel the answer.
The song title is "Clouds over California"
the band is "Devildriver"
The line I gave is "I'm a saint in a sinners eyes"
Next person to post can take over.
Let's try to revive this game:
"Cause the Singer to Soar to Our Nearest Extraterrestrial, Non-Planetary Neighbor"
That's it, Chief. Funny thing is after I posted and went back the first post in the thread and saw that Kent had used the same song for his starting example!
Have at it, Chief!
"an unspecified place in upward proximity to an anomaly caused by the refraction and reflection of the sun's rays through rain or mist "
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Yup...an easy one!
Yer up, Quis!
"a toy figure of a man jointed and made to dance by means of strings or a sliding stick of sudden origin and short duration"
Is a gas, gas, gas!
Back to you Chief

"Rain On the Scarecrow" by John "Cougar" Mellencamp
Rain on the Scarecrow? (I've never heard the song, but I recognized Amanda King from the show the Scarecrow and Mrs. King, even before your hint)

Huey was first and has the next song! Did you need the hint to get it?
Too bad you weren't familiar with the song, Quis, because you got the clue right off the bat. I felt giving the definition would've been too obvious, so I opted for the untraditional method of using a TV reference instead. (It's a good song, by the way!)
I did need the hint, because I never watched "Scarecrow and Mrs. King," so I had to look up who Amanda King was. I do know the song, though.
Next song:
Returning anew to a position of support upon the terminal portion of limbs which enable locomotion
That's it, Quis.
A hit by the Babys, 1980.
To currently ambulate in a position of contact with a combination of bright light and radiant heat
And don't it feel good?
You are up Jerry.
well almost 2 years since the last post. Let's see if this thread can come back from the dead.

Lardy, you are getting closer with Bad Love, but that is not the song I am thinking of. Nor are these the droids you are looking for.
Um..."Mad Love" by whoever?
Is "love" right, at least?

Waitaminute! Was that Star Wars reference a hint?!? Is there a song called "Bad Feeling"?
The Star Wars reference was not a clue, just me trying to be funny. Emphasis on trying.
I don't know of any song named Bad Feeling.
As for a clue, as per the rules here is a line from the song also in other words
Exclamation, entangled within an unfavorable emotional attraction.
I should be ashamed for being familiar with this song but is it
Bad Romance by Lady Gaga?
It's been so long, I had to think about it. But yes it is Bad Romance by Lady Gaga
In low spirits in a human habitat near a path upon which travel occurs
The state of being of you and I in the past.
Yes, it is The Way We Were
