Subject: unusual phrases lyrics

Written By: Zella on 05/13/02 at 09:20 p.m.

How about a few unusual phrases in songs:

1. champagne desert

2. fuel-injected

3. gold-lame jeans (with an accent over the e in lame--don't know how to make that :( )

All from the 70s, of course. :)

1. "Candy's Going Bad" - Golden Earring

2. "Born to Run" - Bruce Springsteen

3. "Teenage Lament '74" - Alice Cooper

Hold down "Alt" then type "0233" on the keypad (NOT keyboard).

The easiest way to acutize your e's is to press the Alt Gr button (to the right of the space, not the left, that just messes it up, as I have found) and press the required key at the same time

Comes from spending the early formative years of my life entirely surrounded by adults. One learns to be precocious.  ;)

Grave accent:  Alt+0232.  The best way to look this up is to call up the Character Map.  Click Start, then Programs, then Character Map.  If Character Map is not visible, then click System Tools, then Character Map.  Select a common font (like Times New Roman) and then find the desired character.  Click on it to see the code needed to make that character.  Or you may click Start, then Run, then type "charmap" in the box (no quotes) to access the Character Map.

I think it was inborn. Or perhaps survival instinct. I recall once when I was about 7 my aunt's best friend called me a "little agitator." When I asked what an agitator was, she said it was that thing in the washing machine that kept annoying the clothes! ;D

Thanks Don, the third one worked. Is there someplace online where I can find all the alt numbers? That might be easier actually. I can just tape them to my office wall.
