***Warning! This challenge has bad language and other offensive stuff in it so please skip it if that offends you.***

This is a cover challenge so you're looking for the specific thing(s) that is/are mentioned in all this junk. These are all comedic songs from Tim Minchin.
You can earn up to 11 points for this one.

1) Inflatable You - All he needs is a doll and a bicycle pump. Help him out by finding a doll, or something on wheels (that one's a bit of a stretch) on the cover. If you're brave enough, find an actual inflatable doll.
2) Prejudice/Taboo - "Just because we're sensitive to UV..." Find a ginger (redhead) on the cover.
3. Song for Wossy - "Just a little dabble in temporary bigamy..." Find a married couple, or a couple that's married by the end of the story, on the cover. Want to make it harder? Find a whip.
4. If I Didn't Have You - "I don't think you're special. I mean... I think you're special, but... You fall within a bell curve." Find a cover with a drool worthy guy/girl that in a "theoretical, hypothetical, parallel life" might actually be yours. Maybe that's just in your dreams...
5. Three Minute Song - "Everybody loves a penis-t, but length must have a limit." Find a cover with something that comes in three. IE 3 chairs, bats, people, candles, etc...
6. Lullaby - "When is rocking, rocking? And when is it shaking?" To avoid baby eating dingos and the avian flu, find an animal on the cover.
7. Rock N Roll Nerd - Find some bling for the nerdiest rock star out there.
8. So F***ing Rock - Two people about to get it on on the cover.
9. 5 Poofs & 2 Pianos - "You can never have too many pianos, or too much man." You can look for an instrument, skirt, letter, rainbow, the number 5 in the title, or a pentagram (since you won't find a pentapoofterpianoposse).
10. Woody Allen Jesus -To avoid being beaten by geeks with shovels you can find a zombie, vampire, lizard, Woody Allen, or Jesus on the cover.
11. Confessions: Feminism, Poverty (Altruism), Environment - Whether behind, below, or above, Minchin loves boobies so find him some cleavage.

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 2770 comments Question...would a crown be considered jewelery????


message 11: by Heather (new)

Heather T (horrorvacui000) | 5931 comments Mod
Sure. It's made of medal and or jewels and is used to adorn.


message 12: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 2770 comments I did find a cover where the lady had earrings and a bracelet, so I still had it covered.
