What is a "cyclone ranger"?

What is the Reflex?

What's the deal with that "Voices Carry" song? Domestic abuse?

How can a person be indestructable like "Gold"? Bodybuilders? Ninjas?

What is the church of the poisoned mind? What's their view on the afterlife? Are they mainly Republicans?

Did he say (Boy George) "you come and go" or you "cum and go"? [:0]

So was Bowie being ironic in "Modern Love" or was he actually quite conservative?

Were Haysi Fantasy sqirrels in a past life? Is that why they were into shiny objects?

Did Psychadelic Furs ever see Molly Ringwald naked? Is that what the song's about?

Do the youth have a right to party? What ammendment is it?

What is Lene Lovich's lucky number now? 3? 5? 6.25? It keeps changing!!

Dutchie = food bowl or bong?

Feel free to leave your own questions...only together can we crack the code!! [:D]

Hahahahah!!!

Yes, Voices Carry is partly about domestic abuse but really more about her control freak partner who she rejects at the end of the song...or the video at least, which clarifies things a lot.

Indestructable like gold not in the physical sense but rather in indomitable spirit. So even apparent wimps have got the power to know they're indestructable...just always believe in your soul.

That church...yes, it's the Republicans. We seem to not only need some new Lords but a New Church as well.

The right to party is not a birthright. You have to fight for your right to party. But there's no denying that we want to be free...we wanna be free to do what we want to do...and we want to get loaded...and we wanna have a good time...and that's what wer'e gonna do...we're gonna have a good time...we're gonna have a party!

Dutchie is not a bong but rather a joint, a subtle and somewhat unimportant distinction. The term is derived from Dutch cigars. It is typical for the Carib peoples, and some friends of mine too, to roll big fat ones and utter comment such as "let's spark up a Dutchie bra." [:D]

I always envisioned Voices Carry about someone who is involved with Aimee, and he doesn't want anyone to know. Maybe the braid/tail thing she had scared potential in-laws.

How can a person be indestructable like gold? I don't know about a person, but a dog already was:
When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear,
And frighten all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near for
Underdog,

Cyclone Ranger - That clever Yogi Bear dropped a few roofies in Ranger Smith's thermos. Unfortunatly it was during tornado season. That Yogi always was smarter than the average bear...


Lene's Lucky Number is still two. Last I heard she & Les Chappel were still attached.

Anyone got the lyrics to Clan Of Xymox's "Call It Weird"? It's one of my favourite songs by them, but I have no idea what she's sayin[B)]

It's a lonely child just waiting by the park.

Good question. Here's mine...

Kouchie = joint or woman's crotch? Or perhaps, sound a Hispanic entertainer with big cha-chas makes?

good one, Somebody Somewhere![:D]
Simon LeBon was his usual cryptic self when he got asked that question back in the day. He introduced the song in concert by saying "this song is about a special friend", and implied in interviews that it was a sexual metaphor.

Here is my question:
Does the Safety Dance actually keep you safe ??

And does dancing really have Politics to it ? are they liberal or conservative ? Tories or Whigs?[:p]

"cyclone ranger" is actually "psyched Lone Ranger". No way would I have determined this myself but found out through various websites.

Is this the same thing Dutch Women's libbers in the 60's said?

"Pass The Dutchie" was a cover of "Pass The Kutchie" by the Mighty Diamonds. A kutchie is indeed a bong. Musical Youth wanted to sanitize it for more tender radio listeners.

My questions:

Can you get a bypass with a Heart of Glass?

What are the dues for the Union of the Snake? Do they have a good healthcare plan?

If you have Love on your Side can a doctor remove it? If so, is it covered under the Union of the Snake's health plan?

Originally it was derived from "Dutch Oven" and is a large pot for cooking food. I remember asking some Jamaicans I knew at the time when the Musical Youth song came out, and they said it was a food bowl.

But Musical Youth cleaned it up... it has many meanings!

Since then it's a joint, but they say "splif" or in the case of a cigar a "blunt"....

[/quote]There's an ointment for that, available by prescription, so ask your doctor.
