I remember in high school science, sugar was C12H22O11. The simpler molecule in the clue here is like glucose. Def leppard wouldnt want to pour glucose on any writhing women. They would only use the good stuff. I judge myself for writing this comment

Though I somehow completely missed the fermented part of the clue and was trying to think of a song about grapes. Doh.

"Too Hot to Handle" by UFO would also fit the last clue.

The last one could also be "too hot to handle" maybe adding the years of origin would avoid any confusions?

It happened again. No comments when I initially took the quiz, then when I left a comment, all of a sudden 30 of them just appeared. That's a weird bug. Is anyone else seeing this?

Agreed; there are often countless ways to say something, so why not keep is spicy, so to speak?

I also get excited when I read a word I don't already know, so that I can look it up and add it to my vocabulary.

for the first obfuscation, can i suggest changing it to something like ‘pelvic body parts refrain from fabrications‘? at the moment it seems to refer more to the nonexistent song ‘Hips Can’t Lie’

The song 'Too Hot To Handle' by the Black Crowes could also be answer for the final question and I think it would actually be a more fitting answer giving the clue mentions grasp.

I agree that it's another valid answer. Not necessarily better, but valid.

It’s already been pointed out that “release grasp” doesn’t correlate to “Too Hot to Handle”. Also, the Black Crowes song is “Hard to Handle”. Also, that’s a remake of an Otis Redding song, which is much better than the remake.

I tried Too Hot to Handle for the last one, but then figured UFO is probably not a widely known band (but they should be!). But then that Ibiza song is on there, so....

The difficulty I had was more in tweaking the basic conversions until the quiz accepted them; I don’t know nearly enough of these songs.

After all, if one has never heard of something, one cannot be expected to *identify* it, can one‽
