No, now youre moving away from it

[BlobVanDam]

As initials they all have CO in them

[Sketchy]

The C is neither at the beginning or end of any title?

[BlackInk]

Based on what Acideus said: they all have carbon monoxide on their title?

Do not breathe while listening then.

[hacko]

Since he said it was at an insane level:

The three titles combined have 17 syllables.

If we switch a single syllable word from either of the 6 syllable titles to the other 6 syllable title (TCOT to TSCO or viceversa) and put it in the middle, then the syllable count ends up 5 / 7 / 5 , which, combined with the total of 17 syllables, would make it have the structure of a haiku.

[namgalsipsclar]

So is it definitely to do with the titles of songs or do lyrics come into it as well?

Ok, the C is a part of it.

I wish it were that retarded.

You could know this (eventually, after 2 years probably) without ever hearing the songs or reading the lyrics.

O_o Mind. Blown.

Three of the letters on one of the longer words are repeated on the other long word, and you can compose another word with those letters:

Change Seasons: a,n,e from change are repeated on seasons. You can form the word "ANE"
Count Tuscany: c,u,t,n from count are repeated on tuscany. You can form the word "CUNT"
Spirit Carries: s,i,r are repeated in carries. You can form the word "SIR"

Spirit Carries: s,i,r are repeated in carries. You can form the word "SIR"

So you are pretty much there...except a bit off on the word choice and method

[Metropolis pt.-1]

Using the first letter of each of the words in the titles you can create the anagram TACO COST COST

[Jamesman42]

No youre moving away from the idea

[Mbarak]

Only DT songs with acronyms of 4 letters one of them is c

[Jamesman42]

No, rena was more on the right track

[reneranucci]

If you combine the letters of the words that start with C, you can form the words that don't start with C:

Change, Carries, Count gives you the letters c h a n g e r i s o u n t

With those letters, you can form Seasons, sirit and tuscani 

Ok, another shot: if you combine the letters of the words that start with c, you get the 5 vowels. The same happens if you combine the letters of the words that don't start with c.

If I'm wrong, I'll check this thread when it reaches page 10.

[LCArenas]

The Count Carries Change?
Wait.

Count=5 Letters
Change=6 Letters
Carries=7 Letters.

The words that start with "C" have consecutive number of letters.

[energythief]

Jamesman is destroying my thread.

[Sketchy]

None of the words with C contain the word "duck".

[Acideus]

Jamesman is destroying my thread.

And my life. I've been trying to puzzle together words using the song titles for half an hour now.

[reneranucci]

The Count Carries Change?
Wait.

Count=5 Letters
Change=6 Letters
Carries=7 Letters.

The words that start with "C" have consecutive number of letters.

This! And the ones that don't start with C have all 7 letters (except for Spirit which you can change to spirits)! And DT auditioned 7 drummers! The ultimate nugget!

Spirit Carries: s,i,r are repeated in carries. You can form the word "SIR"

So you are pretty much there...except a bit off on the word choice and method

Word choice?  So like, is it that you were going for the word 'nut' or 'cut' instead of 'cunt'? 

Just ruling that out.

[Mbarak]

He said it was wrong on word choice and method, which pretty much means it's all wrong.

[Xanthul]

The letters that appear on all three acronyms are COS. Jamesman loves math, so we have to do the cosine of something.

ACOS 23:06 which is 1386 seconds
TCOT 19:16 which is 1156 seconds
TSCO 6:38 which is 398 seconds

Total = 2940 seconds

Cosine of 2940 is 0,500000000000003 which is remarkably close to 0,5 which is a half.

We've all wasted half our lives on Jamesman's riddle.

[Jamesman42]

lol

[Jaffa]

I think you should call Xanthul correct even if he isn't.  Gotta love the effort!

[senecadawg2]

Jamesman is evil

[LCArenas]

lol

HAVE YOU QUESTIONED ALL THE MADNESS YOU INVITE?

[fibreoptix]

lol

HAVE YOU QUESTIONED ALL THE MADNESS YOU INVITE?

*laughs*

[Fiery Winds]

Change
Count
Carries

All three only share the letter C.

Seasons
Tuscany
Spirit

All three only share the letter S.

[Jamesman42]

Keep the c and the s now

[Fiery Winds]

CS = Charlie Sheen?

Captain Sparrow?

[Jamesman42]

HINT: You can use the letters in each title to make this 4-letter word.

[Pols Voice]

Scan?
Cans?
