Name the song/artist from the quoted line. Lines have been edited for inclusion in the next version of the SATs. For bonus points, provide a translation of the line back to its original form.
1. The Agelaius phoeniceus has chosen to exercise its vocal chords at the moment that the portion of Earth he inhabits is facing 180 degrees away from the sun.
2. The nonplussed head of state creates new arrangements of musical notes and words in pleasing harmonies for the purpose of praising the Almighty.
3. For each circadian rhythm, the Earth recommences, good meterological conditions or bad.
4. I only experience the sensation of saline on my tongue when I create a conjunction between my lips and the salty excretions from your eyes.
5. She puts compressed carbon on the undersides of the apparel protecting her lower appendages.
Technically, I should have another five, but I'm not going to.
In other news, Wicked was fun. The first half was pretty similar to the book, with the major exception of Fiyaro's character. The second half was very different. Enjoyable, and it fit the conventions of a musical much better than the book would have. I am pleased that the musical clearly considered the major relationship* to be the one between Glinda and Elphaba rather than the one between Elphaba and Sexy Male Dude, for two reasons. (1) My usual political sensibilities; ie, my belief that romantic relationships are over-explored and overemphasized while other kinds of relations are dismissed. (2) Glinda and Elphaba's relationship was just much more interesting in the musical, and far more fraught with tensions.*
*Not a slashy relationship. Not sexual tensions.
