[Blondie]

Lou Reed -- Heroin

I'll go ahead with the next one:

Did a vehicle come from somewhere out there
Just to land in the Andes?
Was it round, and did it have a motor
Or was it something different?

[HINT: This is a little more obscure than the previous songs.]

Did a vehicle
Did a vehicle
Did a vehicle
Fly along the mountains
And find a place to park itself?

Frank Zappa, Inca Roads

And not to Split Hairs on a shaving forum, but Heroin was technically The Velvet Underground.

Switching gears a bit here, and really counting on strat1117 to get this one:

Tramuta in lazzi lo spasmo ed il pianto;
in una smorfia il singhiozzo e 'l dolor...

Opera anyone?
Here is a hint, this is posted in the clown house!

True enough, although I think of it as a Lou Reed song (he did write it).

I'm not an opera guy, so I'll leave yours for someone else (unless it was Crazy Joe Devola from Seinfeld! )

You're close. Follow that logic and you will get it. I knew I could count on you!

I got it from the clue, not from the lyrics. I could go look up who wrote Pagliacci [sp?] (I know its Italian, but I'm pretty sure its not Puccini), but that's as far as I can get without cheating.

Pagliacci was written by Leoncavallo. The piece is "Vesti la Giubba" The next lyric is "Ridi, Pagliaccio,
sul tuo amore in franto!
Ridi del duol
t'avvelena il cor!

Which translates roughly in English as:

Laugh, clown,
at your broken love,
laugh at the pain
which poisons your heart!

I'm gonna give it to you for catching the clown house hint, and getting that Pagliacci is the sad clown. For bonus points, do you know why he was sad?

Frank Zappa - Inca Roads

To be honest I don't think I would have gotten this one had we not had a two hour long Zappa conversation with one of my troops who never even heard of him.

Next up:

I'm going really obscure on this one. Unless you are a fan of this particular group and this genre I don't see many getting this one without cheating.

Bass! how low can you go?
Death row. What a brother knows.
Once again, back is the incredible
The thyme animal

 

[skklog]

I know ( because I cheated) but I wont post.

Anybody? Skklog may have to enter (despite cheating) to keep the thread/game going.

 

[Blondie]

Go Skklog go!

 

[SRock]

Agreed, looks as though Skklog's cheat and correct answer is needed. Go Skklog go!

I think Slagle once shot a clown. Or was that Agent Booth on Bones? I always get them confused.

Nope, that's a site with information about the group and this particular song but it is neither the name of the group or the title of the song.
