so I asked ChatGPT:

This type of grammatical inversion is known as hypallage or a transferred epithet.

In this construction, an adjective (“warm”) that would logically modify one noun (“milk”) is shifted to modify another noun (“glass”), altering the usual syntactic relationship for stylistic or rhetorical effect. While “a glass of warm milk” emphasizes the temperature of the milk, “a warm glass of milk” makes the glass the immediate referent, even though the temperature of the milk is implied. This subtle shift can sometimes create nuanced imagery or emphasis in writing.

Does that capture what you’re actually asking? I’m disturbed by the prospect of finding ChatGPT useful.

This will make me feel better:

Lemmy Kilmister is best known as the gravel-voiced frontman of Motörhead, but his songwriting career spans far beyond his iconic band. Here are ten songs people might be surprised to learn Lemmy had a hand in writing:

1. “Silver Machine” – Hawkwind
   Lemmy co-wrote and sang lead vocals on this 1972 space-rock anthem during his stint with Hawkwind. It was a rare mainstream hit for the band.

2. “R.A.M.O.N.E.S.” – Motörhead
   Lemmy penned this high-energy tribute to punk pioneers The Ramones. It’s a love letter to punk rock that feels distinctly out of place in heavy metal lore.

3. “Hellraiser” – Ozzy Osbourne
   Co-written with Ozzy and Zakk Wylde, this track became famous both for Ozzy’s version and Motörhead’s own recording. It’s a mid-tempo anthem full of Lemmy’s storytelling grit.

4. “Mama, I’m Coming Home” – Ozzy Osbourne
   Many are shocked to discover Lemmy wrote the lyrics to this heartfelt Ozzy ballad. It’s a far cry from Motörhead’s typically raucous themes.

5. “Go to Hell” – Alice Cooper [Note from Joe: Lemmy didn’t co-write this]
   Lemmy collaborated with Alice Cooper, helping write this macabre yet oddly humorous song that aligns perfectly with Cooper’s theatrical persona.

6. “Ain’t No Nice Guy” – Motörhead feat. Ozzy Osbourne and Slash
   This ballad-style track shows Lemmy’s softer side and features some unexpected collaborators, including Ozzy and Slash, which surprises even longtime fans.

7. “Lost Johnny” – Hawkwind
   Lemmy co-wrote this dark, acid-drenched song with Mick Farren during his Hawkwind days. It’s more psychedelic than Motörhead fans might expect.

8. “Christine” – The Damned [Question from Joe - Does this song exist?]
   Lemmy contributed to this punk classic by The Damned, blending his rock ‘n’ roll roots with the rising punk movement of the late ’70s.

9. “Desire” – Ozzy Osbourne
   Another surprising Ozzy collaboration, this song highlights Lemmy’s versatility as a lyricist, moving from heavy rock to more melodic themes.

10. “Motörhead” – Hawkwind
    Before it became the title track for his band, Lemmy wrote this song during his Hawkwind days. It’s steeped in psychedelic rock influences rather than Motörhead’s signature speed-metal sound.

Lemmy’s songwriting talents crossed genres, showcasing his range as a lyricist and composer. His contributions to other artists’ catalogs reflect his ability to adapt while still maintaining his uniquely raw perspective. Which of these surprised you most?
