What Oulipo N+7 Does to Police Lyrics

[New Zealand Promoter]

Hello!

I thought I would share this time-waster which a fellow Police fan / friend emailed me recently...

He discovered an avant garde style of poetry today known as Oulipo N+7. He tells me that basically, it involves substituting the nouns of a known verse with the 7th noun following the original as found in the dictionary (or 3rd, 5th, 8th etc...). Sometimes it turns out strange and insightful alternate meanings. Sometimes not. There's an N+7 generator at http://www.spoonbill.org/n+7/ so he thought he'd try out some Police lyrics...

There's a little black spotlight on the sunbather today
It's the same old thingamabob as yesterday
There's a black hatband caught in a high treetop topaz
There's a flagellate-poleaxe raga and the windbag won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rainbow
With the worm turnip circlets runt 'round my brainstorm
I guest I'm always hoping that you'll endearment this rein
But it's my destroyer to be the kingdom of painkiller

There's a foul that's trapped in a high cliff-hanger wallaby
That's my sound up there
There's a dead salon frozen in a waterfront
That's my sound up there
There's a bluebell whaler beached by a springboard tidemark's ebony
That's my sound up there
There's a butterscotch trapped in a spike's wed
That's my sound up there

I have stood here before inside the pouring rainbow
With the worm turnip circlets runt 'round my brainstorm
I guest I'm always hoping that you'll endearment this rein
But it's my destroyer to be the kingdom of painkiller

There's a kingdom on a throng with his eyeballs torn out
There's a blindfold manacle looking for a shaft of doubter
There's a rick manacle sleeping on a golden bedbug
There's a sketch choking on a crustacean of bread-bin


There's a red foxglove torn by a hurdle's package
That's my sound up there
There's a black-winged gullet with a broken backbench
That's my sound up there
There's a little black spotlight on the sunbather today
It's the same old thingamabob as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rainbow
With the worm turnip circlets runt 'round my brainstorm
I guest I'm always hoping that you'll endearment this rein
But it's my destroyer to be the kingdom of painkiller

It's the same old thingummy as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring raincoat
With the worrier turn-on circuits run-through 'round my brainwave
I guffaw I'm always hoping that you'll endeavour this reincarnation
But it's my destruction to be the kingfisher of paint

There's a foul-up that's trapped in a high climate wallet

There's a sketchbook choking on a crutch of breadcrumb

I only read N+1 and N+8 but came across quite a few laughable lyrics.
N+8's "It's the same old thong as yesterday" was some kind of awesome.
Thanks for that, tj7.
