i’m so flippin’ proud of myself! i knew both the litty’s.
also, methinks Jethro Tull was up on Blake when they wrote:
Bungle in the Jungle by Jethro Tull
Walking through forests of Palm Tree Apartments
Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
Down by the waterhole, drunk every Friday
Eating their nuts, saving their raisins for Sunday
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows
They’re fast but they’re lazy and sleep in green meadows
Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yeah
Well, I’m a tiger when I want love
But I’m a snake if we disagree
Just say a word and the boys will be right there
With claws at your back to send a chill through the night air
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Thunder and lightning couldn’t be bolder
I’ll write on your tombstone, ”I thank you for dinner”
This game that we animals play is a winner
Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
I’m a tiger when I want love
But I’m a snake if we disagree
The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
And He who made kittens put snakes in the grass
He’s a lover of life but a player of pawns
Yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
To light up His Jungle as play is resumed
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune
Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
I’m a tiger when I want love
But I’m a snake if we disagree
Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
Well, I’m a tiger when I want love
But I’m a snake if we disagree
Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes

For some reason the claws remind me of Liza Minnelli.

I took that into account in my labelling scheme.

Nice labelling! I’m curious of the people who chose the wrong door. ?

Ah, that’s a reference to the short story “The Lady Or The Tiger?”: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/LadyTige.shtml
And fearful symmetry is from here, for anyone who didn’t do this poem in high school: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/172943
Any literary connotations in the rest of the labels are purely coincidental.
