Alright, this game is similar to the lyric conversation, but instead of having a conversation, you use something from a song to defeat the last poster. You can either use lyrics from a song, a title of a song, or something specific from a song (use the description of it from the song). This thing could either be something that defeats the last poster, or a description that makes you able to defeat the last poster. You can change the words slightly to change something to first person, or make things gramatically correct. Also, say what the song is (if you use lyrics from the song, if you use the title, you don't need to repeat the title), and who it's by.

For example, "Mother Natures Son" (by The Beatles) could be countered with "The Death of Mother Nature" (By Kansas).

Alright, I'll start
"We are the Dead" (David Bowie)

"Fade To Grey" by Jars of Clay. Double pwn. Fade your yellow and throw jars at your sub!

That grey can be countered with some "Purple Haze" (Jimmi Hendrix)

"Tomorrow we'll see" - Sting

Don't judge me / You could be me in another life / In another set of circumstances

(You need to know the songs to see the connection. Both songs are about prostitution. In the first a guy is telling a prostitute that she doesn't need to be one. In the second a prostitute is telling the world not to judge her on how she lives.)
