Oh my God.. Are you sure you want me to answer this!! I'm guessing it comes from Wayne's World, and refers to that (ahem) particular moment of male, (er) physical response to a, (er) particularly stimulating example of another's anatomy sort of thing.. If you catch my drift.. That moment when the equipment sort of schwings into position.. I knew I should have left this one alone.. How about this one: " Spanish and introducing acoustic guitars.."

Oh my God.. Are you sure you want me to answer this!! I'm guessing it comes from Wayne's World, Yes it does. Wayne's World II was on while I was posting. Shortly into the movie (which I could not abide in sitting all the way through) I was reminded of how prolific Mike Myers is in coining words that are both instantly identifiable and frickin (from Austin Powers btw) hilarious. I avoided hurl, and lung-butter as the opener in favor of the more famous SchwingJeez Adey. Why the repression? More deeply it represents the adolescent bonding ritual of affirming the hetrosexuality of confused head-bangers. A vulgar, albeit funny vicarious expression of raging hormones. I thought you gave it a respectable British interpretation. ;D Say no more.. I need a hint. Or am I daft?

Could it be "Tubular bells" of Mike Oldfield? It's a song (well, song...) in which he introduces a lot of instruments this way.

And give that man a coconut..
Tubular Bells indeed. Specifically, side 1, penultimate movement, where (as observed) Viv Stanshall introduces the instruments played by Oldfield as they enter into the round..
TB was the first recording released on Richard Branson's fledgling Virgin label, when nobody else would touch it. Branson's instincts (as ever) were correct, making him and Oldfield a great deal of money, and giving Branson a substantial stake with which he went on to build his financial empire.
Do you have any coined words for us COC? I must admit that mine were not strictly coined in as much as they have (not) entered the common psyche. Apologies for that Al..

Yes of course. I'm daft just the same.

Give me a moment, ok? I'll have to think of a not so obvious one (and one I can assume is known outside of the Netherlands < big thoughts > ). I will come back with one, promise!

ok... this might be a too easy one, but I didn't want to keep the list waiting too long (if at all):
"delicious hospital food"

I'll give you a hint:
The pseudonym of the singer of this band starts and ends with an 'E'.

OK, I think I chose a song which is not too well known (either the song or the band):
Hospital Food of the Eels
This one should be a piece of cake:
"Here comes Johnny Yen again..."

On hindsight I believe I misunderstood the goal of this quizzz.. I have to explain the meaning of the coined words as well. I can only quote the artist on "Delicious hospital food": "Hospital food has a bad reputation. No one will eat it. Maybe it's good in some countries, but most places i have been it seems like people are feeling the same way about it, but everybody is going to eat it sometime, so i thought about why we are getting ill, in that way it's a song about responsebility and living your life and having fun with it."source: www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~twi/eels/hospitalfood.htmland I think the new quote from me is not apt for this quiz.. I suggest using the one from Al.
