    Yes Libs

    Are Yes song lyrics ripe for "libbing?" We shall see with this experiment. If you are familiar with the Mad Libs books from childhood then you know what this is. If not, you will pick up on this as it goes along.

    Fill in two slots. Then the next poster copies and pastes, and then fills in the next two slots. And so on. When all the slots are done I will reveal the song with the Yes libbed lyrics.


    YES LIB#1

    1. ADJECTIVE:
    2. BODY PART PLURAL (Keep it clean!):
    3. A THREE SYLLABLE ADJECTIVE:
    4. ADJECTIVE:
    5. ADJECTIVE:
    6. PLACE:
    7. COLOR:
    8. NOUN:
    9. NOUN:
    10. COLOR:
    11. VERB:
    12. VERB:
    13. VERB:
    14. ADJECTIVE:
    15. NOUN:
    16. VERB:
    17. A TWO SYLLABLE NONSENSICAL WORD:

    Re: Yes Libs

    Trust me, I think this exercise is really fun if you don't know what song is being Mad Libbed until the slots are all filled, but it is a lot less fun if there is no participation at all (I am thoroughly embarassed!)

    So, therefore, to give this thread a much needed kick in the butt, the song for Mad Lib #1 is "I've Seen All Good People."

    Now let's burn out those yesfan.com servers!

    She's an equal opportunity offender, a societal wildcard. You can't control her, only hope to contain her, even then she refuses to be possessed. If she were a coin, you would spend her, unwillingly. If she were an animal, you'd free her to the wilderness.

    Any two is quite fine (especially with those two great answers!)

    What is it with New Jersey and weird town names, anyway? Inquiring minds want to know!

    Actually, we Empire State people have some interesting town names, too. Some are from the Dutch; others, from Native American culture...and I'll bet there are more from other nationalities/cultures, too!

    From the Wikipedia article about Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey:
    A few theories have been offered for the hyphens and capitalization. One is that it was intended to differentiate between the borough and Hohokus Township, which was formed on April 9, 1849, and continued to exist until November 7, 1944, when a referendum was passed changing the name to present-day Mahwah. Another explanation was that it was meant to avoid confusion by postal clerks with mail being sent to Hoboken.

    Seems to me it is the postal clerks in New Jersey who are Spell-Ing Chal-Lenged.

    rm: Thank you for your answers! Nestled in my second post is the name of the song, but I guess you missed it. I am curious if it matches your guess. The same song?

    Well, now I'm a bit embarassed--not just because I missed that post entirely, but because I had the wrong song! I thought it was "On the Silent Wings of Freedom." Whoops!

    I've seen all terrific people turn their knees each day so clairvoyant I'm on my way

    Take a happy and foppish course to the Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey of your life
    Make the eau de Nil queen run so fast she hasn't got time to make you a cabbage
    'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
    its spatula is captured...for the queen to use!
    Move me on to any vermilion square
    Embiggen me anytime you want
    Just remember that the goal
    Is for us all to kvetch all we want
    (Move me on to any vermilion square)

    Don't bellow yourself with yourself
    Move on back two squares
    Send an squeamish proboscis monkey to me
    Absquatulate it with loving care
    (Don't bellow yourself)

    'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
    its spatula is captured...for the queen to use!

    Chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut
    Chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut chut-chut
