cryptic answers part 1
I'll post the other ten after they have a decent go on the BBS, but DAMN, ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
happysteve is REALLY good at them...
1) Put some stuff in front of an electrically charged atom -- Insertion
Put some stuff == insert. An electrically charged atom == ion. Insert in front of ion.
2) The final results of unscented windex spray -- DXY
Final results indicates "look at the end of the words". unscented windex spray is a weird word combination, isn't it? Unless the ending letters were DXY... I have to admit, though, I wish I had come up with words that actually meant more about the song. This one's probably pretty unfair.
3) A great speaker is outside gym class -- Operator
A great speaker == Orator. Gym class == PE.
4) Shorten Seattle's State and... -- Wa
"WA" is the abbreviation for the state Seattle is in. Incidentally, it's also the Korean word for "and".
5) The cold within pulls the levers now -- Ever Snow
"Within" implies a hidden word inside other words. "Cold" is a hint to it being "ever snow", hidden inside the last two words.
6) Turn Tetsu around three times -- Nori Nori Nori
Ok, yeah, this was a little unfair too. Tetsu == Iron, Iron backwards (turned around) is Nori, and three times...
7) A dumb mixup burdens all -- Bu Dam
Mixup implies scrambled letters. "A dumb" scrambles to "Bu Dam", and "Bu Dam" means "burden" in Korean.
8) Just a little bit of heart and soul -- Petit Love
Okay, so I grew up in the 80's, sue me. (Wow, they should have T'Pau on DDR somewhere) So, "A little bit" is Petit, and "Heart and Soul" is Love... yeah, I'm pushing it there. :)
9) Algerian currency inside confused old worry -- Ordinary World
Algerian currency == Dinar. Confused implies scrambled, so unscramble "old worry", insert "dinar" in the right place, and you get it...
10) Tea and you go great together; put sugar in the middle and it's even better -- Tsugaru
T and U! With sugar in the middle, Tsugaru! Whee!

Ack, your earlier post only said "electrical charge". Dang, I was trying to find song names that had to do with "volt" or "coulomb" or something. Ah well... no biggie.
