Let Me RePhrase That!

   I never did believe the story that we use only 10% of our brains (or our minds).  But since scrolling through memes and silly videos uses about a half of one percent, I thought it good put out some mental challenges to get your neurons fired up! Plus, I like to find out who's as smart as me. So my goal with this blog is to have some fun while stirring up your logic, imagination, and memory.
   Here's the contest: I'll take some well-known quotes, sayings, titles, lyrics and stuff, then re-word them in my own peculiar idiom. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to cast them back into their original language! For example, "We Be Toys" is Toys 'R' Us. Words in brackets are hints. Ready?
1) You are merely a domesticated Canis lupus, perpetually shedding tears. {song lyrics}
2) Yo, tell me if you are able to perceive via daybreak's initial illumination.....{lyrics}
3) Harold the Earthenware Maker and the Chalice of Rapid Oxidation {title}
4) Interstellar Conflicts {movie}
5) 0-0=0 {lyrics}
6) The Ambulatory Expired {TV show}
7) Sucrose, and seasoning, and all things pleasant are the main ingredients of prepubescent females. {saying}
8) Jaundiced U-boat {song}
9) Beantown Scarlet Stockings {pro sports team}
10) Mute and More Mute {movie}

Good luck!
