        It was a less obvious example of the phenomenon demonstrated by the other songs.

          What if you were listening to these songs for the first and were then asked to recount the lyrics?

          How would you likely fare?

                          turnip, however, is not.

                          So it does count.

                          Good job, Buddy.

                            These lyrics are typically misunderstood. Where, oh where, would I go on a university campus if I was misunderstood and my name was Earl?

                                    You always introduce the younger person to the older person, using the

                                    (unless her name is not "Miss Brown"). If you do not know a person's
                                    age, ask for a driver's license and a major credit card. If you are
                                    introduced to a member of a minority group, use the "high-five" style
                                    handshake, followed by a remark designed to show you don't mind a bit,
                                    such as "I see you are a (name of a minority group)! Good!"

                                          I tried but I did not get it. Perhaps, something "organ donor" related? Too much english in here, I tend to think in 1s and 0s, and I get 0 this time.

                                            I'm the opposite - math-type problems elude me, but I would have never got this one without the clues.

                                                  does the songs has to be sequential order or it doesn't matter?

                                                              i figured the first solver gave the second solver some hint. let me rephrase that, sportsgirl is a good lateral thinker and badnina catches on pretty quick.

                                                              after reading the lyrics, only thing that i can think of are drugs and guns...jeremy seems to talk about violent outburst. not sure if i can piece them all together and come up with a 5 word phrase
