THE PHISH.NET MEME GAME

A "meme" is defined as "a cultural unit (an idea or value or pattern of behavior) that is passed from one person to another by non-genetic means (as by imitation)".  On the internet, a meme is often a recurring theme, typically originating from a specific joke in a specific genre (such as a video game, see "All your base are belong to us") or pop culture (see Kanye West's "Imma let you finish").  

The Phish.net site is constantly adding new features.  This week, we're excited to unveil a new game in our "Just for Fun" section: The Meme Game.  

The Meme Game features 50 images based on the Joseph Ducreux meme. Ducreaux was a French painter who painted the amusing self-portrait located below in 1793. Recently, it has become the backdrop for modern phrases or lyrics translated, sarcastically, into more formal English.

Above is an example game.  The lyrics "It is my supposition that I have not yet accurately relayed the tale of the apparation" is, of course, a parody of the Phish song "Ghost," whose lyrics are "I feel I've never told you the story of the ghost."

Can you guess the other 49 songs?  You can play The Meme Game now, answers will be posted within the next few days.
