Oh looky-look! It's yet another music-based word game!

[I'm Hiding In Your Closet]

This track has about 105 seconds of dead air at the end for some reason...but the rest checks out.

Looks like one of the made Robert Johnson's famous deal...

Now, how about a power ballad (with emphasis on the 'power' parts)?

Hiding, Boot to the Head isn't musical! Though I must say, it is screamingly funny. You wouldn't by any chance have been a listener of Doctor Demento back in the day, were you?

[I'm Hiding In Your Closet]

Oh, but this one is (arguably)! I have two or three Doctor Demento CD albums, that's what I've got of him.

Here's a weird bonus in that vein, by the way.

Going with funny, I don't know if you're a Monty Python fan, Hiding, but here's hoping!

As an aside - I used to have parakeets, and they loved this song, especially the whistled part. Ah, memories...

I know, Vattnisse, you'd think it would be useless to resist, but I've found that there are those who consider MP to be, shall we say, an acquired taste. I don't get it...

Science Fiction Double Feature

by

Patricia Quinn

Yes, that is correct. I figured why post the more common version when I can introduce (some may already know it) you all to the 1973 play version. In fact, it's said that when Richard O'Brien told Patricia he'd be doing this song in the movie version she got pissed, and almost quit.

[Readerbreeder]

Queen of the Reich

Queensryche

A really cheeseball video... "Should be do a story-based or live performance video? I know! Let's do both at once! Sheesh. Out of curiosity, does anyone know if Queenryche ever covered Maiden's "Run To the Hills"? Geoff Tate seems like one of the few who could handle the vocals.

[Vattnisse]

A Question Of Time

Depeche Mode

Just about every Queensrÿche video is awful - even the straight onstage videos suffer from a surfeit of guitar face, and Geoff Tate, no matter which of his hair configurtions he's in, always looks like a schmuck. The music remains fantastic, though.

That song has got to go down as one of the great "weenie" songs of all time... I think even Hollywood from Mannequin would have told this guy to man up.

Die Young (Deconstructed Mix)

Ke$ha

This song is great because by "Deconstructed" it means it's no autotune or any other kind of vocal modifications, which she does fully admit to using, but she also does crazy stuff with it. Her "Deconstructed" EP proves she doesn't need the autotune.

Gods, yes. The line about climbing to the top of a tower and throwing himself off puts it, quite literally, over the top. Here's another limp'n'clammy classic:
