Double Jeopardy Round: "Song Lyrics You Don't Hear Very Often"

$400 - On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes
STAR SPANGLED BANNER

$800 - Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be

$1200 - And your shrink ran off to Europe and didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl

$1600 - This tune appears to have been written without lyrics, but others have supplied them - popular sets include "Comet, it makes your mouth turn green..." and one about the sexual equipment of WWII German leaders.

$2000 - Lead me there, anywhere, I don't care
Cannot stop and I won't stop 'til you're mine

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

And here is the actual QOD for today:

Jeopardy round: "I can eat glass, it doesn't hurt me" Explanation: at some point, some wiseacre on the web decided to translate a phrase into as many languages as possible, and he (obviously it has to have been a he) didn't want to be accused of having an ulterior motive because he was translating a useful phrase like "where's the bathroom" or "how do I get to my hotel" or "I promise I'll worship however you want me to if you stop beating me", so he went with "I can eat glass, it doesn't hurt me". I'll list some of the translations; your job is to come up with the language

$200 - Vitrum edere possum; mihi non nocet.

What is Latin?

Hey-o!!!!!!! What is Tagalog?

$1000 - Transliteration:

That's ... it's not Klingon, is it? What is Klingon?

Colonel Bogie March (I also accepted Colonel Bogie and Theme from Bridge on the River Kwai.

For anyone who's curious:
Spoiler
Hitler has only got one ball
Goering has two, but very small
Himmler is somewhat sim'lar
And Goebbels has no balls at all


$2000 - Lead me there, anywhere, I don't care
Cannot stop and I won't stop 'til you're mine
Theme from "Mission: Impossible". Who knew it was a love song, sort of?

Reaching all the way back to Stevens Tech Glee Club, what I remember of the rest of the lyrics are:
Fly Away, disappear
I'll be there, waiting
Run high, run low, don't stop, go no
Matter where, you are bound, I'm around, waiting
Hypnotized on a string, following wanting
Lead me there, anywhere, I don't care
Cannot stop and I won't stop 'til you're mine
I keep on dreaming of you, no doubt about it
Took my head and made it spin, somewhere it's never been
I'm in a desert, middle of nowhere, with no shoes I'll calmly bear
Burning coals of fire
But when I get through, that's when I first begin to
Undertake a mission that's impossible
It's said no one can claim you
Don't give it a try
You'll fall if you get up that high
That deep inside of all your beauty
There is no feeling
They say you can't be made to laugh or cry
No, I will have your love
That's why I'm right, I'll find you
Don't try to run, don't try to hide, I'm on your side
Don't try to fight it
Love's a waiting fuse, you can't refuse
We're gonna light it
