It occured to me during a "big 80's weekend" that I could probably go on an entire date using only lyrics from Def Leppard for communication. Improbable, you say... check it out!!___________________________
Replies:
I = inquiry
OR = optional response
I: Hey Ami, how are you tonight?
OR: I'm hot, sticky, sweet from my head to my feet.
OR: I'm hungry for love, and it's feeding time.
OR: Hysteria, when you're near.
OR: I'm burnin', burnin', I got the fever.
I: So where are you from?
OR: A dead end street...where the deadbeats meet.
OR: The only place in town that can take you up to heaven and never bring you down.
I: I saved you a seat, Ami!; Mind if I sit by you?; etc.
OR:I don't wanna touch you too much, baby.
OR:You could try to get closer to me.
I: Hey Ami, wanna go out again sometime?
OR: Are you wild'n'willin or is it just for show?
OR: You and me, babe. Hey, hey!
OR: Everybody wants a piece of the action.
OR: No promises. No guarantees.
OR: Daddy don't agree.

So You get the idea... the possibilities are nearly endless. Just for kicks I've compiled a few lists of situational comments as follows:
Introductions:
- I'm Captain Cool, yeah!
- Hey boys, Miss Magic is back!
Dinner comments:
- What do you want? What do you want?
- Pour some sugar on me!
- You gotta taste that sweetness!
- You've had enough but you just want more.
Flirtatious comments:
- You dance with danger!
- Why save your kisses for a rainy day?
Philosophical comments:
- If you wanna dance with the devil, you've gotta play his way.
- From memory, there is no hiding place.
In case it's not going well (disses and come-backs):
- Passion killer, you're too much!
- You're bringin' on the heartache.
- Watch the night go up in smoke!
- You've gotta recognize my superiority!
- Divided we stand, baby. United we fall.
- Do you have a heart of stone?
- Animal.
Farewells:
- Gimme one for the road!
- I may never see your face again.
- I got a long, long way to go before I can say goodbye to you, goodbye to you.
- I've wasted my time.

Note: Most lyrics are interchangable. I could do this for hours! I think I've made my point fairly clear, however, that I could indeed use only Def Leppard lyrics as conversation pieces. How well would that date go? Well, that would depend entirely on his appreciation for the "classics".
