Encore: Occupations

[yayfulness]

Good point. And unfortunately, that is all of the song that I remember, so I shall offer a replacement.

"Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors shaking in their armor, wishing they'd've had the strength to stand."

-Casting Crowns, "Voice of Truth"

[Marduk]

I'ma go ahead and steal the one you didn't use.

"And you're just so busy, busy busy, busy clippers, oh oh oh hairdresser on fire"

-Morrissey, "Hairdresser on Fire"

[yayfulness]

"And did I mention she's a world-famous billionaire bikini supermodel astrophysicist?"

-Weird Al, "Close but No Cigar"

[Marduk]

"And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control"

-Pink Floyd, "The Gunner's Dream"

[yayfulness]

"But they didn't take my fists, and so I knocked the sentry down."

-"Kilgary Mountain" (Irish folk song)

[Marduk]

"Night after night who treats you right baby its the guitar man"

-Bread, "The Guitar Man"

[yayfulness]

I love that song.

"When the jester sang for the king and queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean."

-Don McLean (no clue whether I spelled that right), "American Pie"

[Dead Cat]

DAY It doesn't matter anymore.

Marduk and yayfulness are in sudden death mode. Who will be victorious and who will yield? We shall see...

[Marduk]

"Hey there all you middle men, throw away your fancy clothes"

-AC/DC, "Rock 'n' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution"

[yayfulness]

How does sudden death mode work? We just trade off posting until someone runs out?

"I'm not the man you think I am at all, no no no no, I'm the rocket man."

-Elton John, "Rocket Man"

[Marduk]

Yeah, that's essentially it yayful, although since I posted first, you'll technically have to post two in a row at some point to get ahead of me.

"gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast, how could I forget"

-Pearl Jam, "Jeremy"

[yayfulness]

I suppose I shall do that now, then. Thank goodness we're doing this over the weekend when I actually have internet access for more than an hour or two per day; otherwise it would take about as long as the regular rounds.

"Don't fear the reaper, baby I'm your man."

-Blue Oyster Cult, "Don't Fear the Reaper"

"Hey, mister tambourine man, play a song for me."

-The Byrds, "Mr. Tambourine Man"

[Marduk]

Reaper? I don't know about that one....mythical creature is generally not considered an occupation.

I'll posit this one for ya though: "Well, me and sloppy joe got married. We got six kids and we're doing just fine down in lunch lady land."

-Adam Sandler, "Lunch Lady Land"

[yayfulness]

True, but there are reapers other than the grim variety. We just don't hear about them anymore because of modern farm equipment. (I did take that quite thoroughly out of context, though, if that's what you were referring to.)

"Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes and say in a voice that was broken with sorrow, 'I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow.'"

-"Mungojerry and Rumpleteaser" (from Cats)

[Dead Cat]

And I think yayfulness won this one. Yayful, that means that you can pick the category for the next round. The threads in Random Chatter with "encore" in the title can give you an idea of what's been done in the past.
