Hand Me That Thesaurus – It’s Time For Singonyms !

There’s a quiz show over here:

Richard Osman’s House Of Games.

…with a twist.

One of those games is Singonyms:

In which the contestants guess the song from seeing the lyrics. Except:

The lyrics are completely changed while retaining the same meaning. I thought I’d have a go at coming up with my own Singonyms. 

Some came easier than others.

• I would like to thank the Thesaurus writers of the world for their invaluable assistance in compiling these.

• I would also appreciate it if songwriters could stop using the word ‘baby.’

For a readership of music aficionados, this shouldn’t be too hard – but see how you get on. I’ll be back later with the answers. 

And feel free to take up the challenge to come up with your own.

I traversed the arid sandy lands astride an untitled equine
There was pleasure to be had in the lack of precipitation

The arid sandy lands affect the memory of what you’re called
As people are not present to provide discomfort

During daylight hours perspiring in the road

The fugitive ideal that every citizen of the United States should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard word, determination and initiative 

During hours of darkness driving past large houses of renown within self immolation vehicles Bouncing out of barred enclosures that are a feature of the road numbered between 8 and 10

Shiny metal rings, propellant administered, walking across the boundary
Hey, infant the conurbation tears out your spine

Representing a threat to life, a hara-kiri rebuke
It is imperative to depart in our adolescence

As vagrants such as we are, newborn, our birth was with the intention of sprinting

Emerging from an uninhabited region
By any means finding my way out

There was no indication of my disorientation
Before coming upon thee
Defeated, unfinished

Bamboozled me, making me down plus disconsolate
However thou compelled myself towards sensations

Damn right, compelled myself towards sensations
Gleaming as well as fresh

Hmm, akin to a person with their virtue intact
Handled in a way that’s a wholly new experience

Akin to a person with their virtue intact 
While our life giving organs thump side by side

Collect your firearms, fetch your buddies
There’s merriment in defeat and make believe
The lady is stupefied but confident
Whoops, I am familiar with vulgar language

Hi, greetings, howdy, what depth
Hi, greetings, howdy, what depth
Hi, greetings, howdy, what depth
Hi, greetings, howdy

In the dark, it is safer
The gang is all here, perform please
My intelligence is lacking and I’m infectious
The gang is all here, perform please

Purchasing baked goods sold by a chap from the Belgian capital
193.04 centimetres tall while totally ripped
Posing him a question “parlez-vous Anglais?”
A grin was proffered by him along with a sanga containing a thick black yeasty extraction.
The man enunciated;

“This cobber originates in the country way below
There the amber nectar pours forth while Bruce’s barf
Is the sound audible, is the sound audible of airborne rumblings?
Its best to make yourself scarce, its best to go to ground, alright

Operate that

Undertake that

Compels ourselves

Superior

Quicker

Brawnier

Operate that more proficiently, construct it to a higher quality

Undertake that with rapidity, compels to indestructability

Increase over eternity, one 60 minute period after another

Labour endures forever

One’s flavoured dairy drink attracts young men within this enclosure

Also they vocalise, that’s superior to others

Certainly that’s superior to others

Instruction will be provided, though there will be a demand for payment

So, a helmeted French EDM duo are performing where I dwell, I dwell

I will exhibit the cords child, exhibit the cords 

There’s a coach and caravan outside where I dwell, I dwell

I will exhibit the cords child, exhibit the cords

A substantial amount of alcohol has been purchased to accentuate where I dwell, I dwell

The entirety of the household goods are stored in the car port

So, a helmeted French EDM duo are performing where I dwell, I dwell

They must be positioned appropriately youngster, positioned appropriately

Punt that

Released from slumber not punctual enough for your education establishment, fella you’d rather not attend

Asking your mother, kindly? Though the answer remains a negative

It’s a no show for a couple of lessons, with a lack of after school assignments

Yet the educator addresses the form as though they take you to be a halfwit

It is imperative to maintain the struggle in order to carouse

Twenty-four seven, aiming to usurp you

Double crossers (double crossers)

(Beaming at ones visage)

Perpetually, aiming to usurp you

Double crossers (double crossers)

Men as a whole that are in a loving relationship, affirmative, affirmative

So those men as a whole should take guard, affirmative affirmative.

So, father vacated the family abode before I was four 

Left barely anything for mother or myself

Just an aged stringed instrument along with a fully drained alcohol receptacle

At present I’m not holding him accountable for hightailing it out of here

Though in terms of cruelty the worst of father’s actions

Prior to departing, was to assign the moniker of Susan to myself.

Provide yours truly with that, kiddo

Oh yes, oh yes!

The entirety of young ladies proclaim me rather dapper for a pale dude

One, two, three, four, five, five, six
