The creative urge has been apparent with a plethora / abundance / surfeit of entries.
As your bodies recover from the plethora / abundance / surfeit of Thanksgiving Turkey and mashed potato, keep your mind active with these. Whether you can unravel the source material or not, there’s plenty to enjoy in the fruits of the TNOCS collective labour.
Let’s see how many you can deduce without peeking. We’ll start with an appetizer of sorts; two imminently guessable Singonyms from yours truly:
The collective are not requiring of tuition The collective are not requiring of coercive persuasion Keep sneering derision out of the learning environment Pedagogue, stop interfering with those children
Excuse me, pedagogue, stop interfering with those children
To sum it up, this is a further element in the construction of a partition To sum it up, they are a further element in the construction of a partition

Ray Parker Jr.’s “Ghostbusters”
OK, now that you’re warmed up, let’s go to the collective – and bring out the big guns:
The second person singular is the solar emanation of my existence, It’s the reason the speaker will continually be present.
The lone receiver of this intention is like a fruit stuck in my ocular cavity, As if the recipient of this thought has taken up permanent residence in my upper torso.

Stevie Wonder’s “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life”

Both Grouse
A newer model than I Is she twisted in the loins like I am? Would she perform mouth sex on you while watching a live performance? Does she speak well and true? Would she produce your offspring? I am confident that she would raise children in a satisfying manner
Because the emotional bonding you provided and that we shared Was inadequate for you to expose your thoughts and feelings And every moment that you mention her legal first and surname Is she made aware that you impressed upon me That we would remain embraced until you passed away? Until you passed away – but still you walk the Earth in good health!
I am present to help you recall Of the clutter that remained when you departed It is inequitable to keep from me The torturous grudge I carry You, you, you should really be more aware

According to you, I’m the young man capable of doing everything But I have to say I’m unsure I understand each step that comes next
You tell me, no problem, embrace Hey, I’m uncertain this is my correct next step Hey, no problem, embrace It’s fine for us to be together every hour, light or dark Till the dawn, till the dawn Let’s return to your place ‘Cause I’m not finished as evening goes by

Present and radiating heat in this moment If I were to turn my gaze, it is possible that you would have vanished.
In this current chapter of our lives purpose descends into small slivers, exiting our existence. This is the intent of my journey from a distant place, to be with you, where you dwell.
Indeed, that which I have spoken of desiring floods into my very thoughts in your presence- Ecstasy that numbers seven twice fold, along with the resolve to be happy, Everything that has been declared to be quite- Emotional, mild breeze, as a gust moving about my being afresh.
Affectionate woman, tender and kind individual. Emotional, mild breeze, as a gust moving about my being afresh. Affectionate woman, tender and kind individual.

I’m habituated to your clockwork repetition How you covet a life free from manacles M’am, stop shilly-shallying around and do it It’s your prerogative to be resolute and autonomous Be the instrument of instinct Although there are some sounds you can’t improvise Like a banshee ensnared in her own echo chamber
And the pulsation informs your manic state When you recognize the quietude of a won petition That can’t be found That can’t be salvaged That can’t exist
A pealing is impossible without teardrops Doers know what love does is an undoing Hey, rotters have flavor with the shelf life of a flavor The tears you drink like an enema for the soul

Affirm, that’s my stool sample
Every lady should walk with heavy steps as I do I’ve had several experiences on that oval pathway Therefore things won’t proceed as you expect The reason is, that I am not a lady that shouts in response
I am not a gal that calls out a reply I declare ownership of this feces I concede proprietorship of this scat I confess control of this manure I acknowledge that this dung is mine.

Alas, winter makes for trembling I fly a leaflet to yonder hovel Ill-starred events on the foyer I became as a statue still Did I weep? I have no recollection Told of his mistress alone And yet, I was profoundly moved When the song to heaven ascends
Farewell, lady New World baked dessert Did ride my mount to the berm The berm was without moisture Country folk imbibed domestic spirits And voiced as one ‘Now yours truly will the Styx ford Anon this flesh will cease to be

I hallucinate regarding a Yuletide devoid of color. Many such have occurred in the past to my certain knowledge. In this location the crowns of large flora shine And the offspring of homo sapiens exercise their auditory sense To perceive the peal of an enclosed spherical metal ball in the frozen precipitation.
I hallucinate regarding a Yuletide devoid of color Accompanying each announcement of holiday good wishes that I commit to paper. Wishing that all might enjoy twenty-four periods of jollity and brilliance And that they might also enjoy only Yuletides devoid of color.

Great work, everyone! Thanks for playing!
With gratitude,
Let the author know that you liked their article with a “Green Thumb” Upvote!
Ugh, this was rough. I missed on 6 of these, 2 of which I didn’t know the song, and one I barely knew. I did get stobgopper’s bonus quickie, and that is too funny that 3 of us had the same idea.
We def need to do this again down the line. It was humbling, but fun!
First line of no. 8 had me laughing and then finding out who was responsible for that gem made it even better.
Everyone brought their A-game. A lot of fun. I say fun, I’ve spent an age reading through some of these again and again working out what I think certain lines actually are and then failing to come up with the song.
I got 6 of the 13, including the bonus. I thought I was doing pretty badly but in revealing the answers there’s only one that I didn’t get (no. 5) where I actually know the song. So that made me feel better.
This was fun! I didn’t get as many as I though that I would. Loved trying to guess who did each one. I didn’t get any of those right. but they all fit when I saw the answer.
Hey, Happy Thanksgiving +1, everybody! What great work. I started well, but things got much more difficult quickly. And ‘Hollaback Girl’ was a most inspired choice.

Well done all round, a fine effort.
OOF. There were more songs that I barely remember at all (5) than songs that I actually guessed right (4).
That leaves #5 and #9, both of which are amazing but only #5 gave me that “WOW” revelation once I found out what it was. So that’s my favorite.
Hats off to everyone! These are all great and really hard. For some reason I have to ask, is it too early for tequila?
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo, CAPSIZE!
I must still be in a post-Thanksgiving food stupor. There were several I didn’t get that I ought to have gotten (including 10 and the bonus!).
Great job, everyone! Lots of fun.
I did OK on this one! I got all but 4 of the ones that I didn’t submit.
On #4, I even briefly thought of the title of that song, which I love, but now realize that I know virtually none of the lyrics to it. I missed it.
I also missed #7, 11, and 12. My favorite was the bonus quickie, which I immediately recognized. Made me laugh. 🙂
A good time!

First of all, happy belated thanksgiving. I only guessed #2 and #6.
Good choices people, and it was fun.

There is more talk of excrement in that song than an issue of the Journal of Gastroenterology.
