Misrhymed Song Lyrics:
"Creeque Alley"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Cass was a sophomore,
Thought she'd go to Swarthmore Why They're Misrhymed: Nice try, but "sophomore" and "Swarthmore" don't quite rhyme. For them to rhyme, either "sophomore" would have to be "sorthmore" or "Swarthmore" would have to be "Swofmore".

| "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To...)"
The Lyrics: I used to live in New York City.
Everything there was dark and dirty. Why: Refers to New York City. [Note: The Song's full name is "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon)", but that won't entirely fit in the space provided for "Song Name".] Is this bizarre, or what? The "security code" that came up was "XNY" -- like could mean "Ex New Yorker". Must be "some kind of sign"!
