Dog-Shaped

To get extremely drunk or high, the result being utterly random and stupid (yet highly enjoyable) behaviour.

Chris: What you get up to at the weekend?

The Other Chris: Oh man we got totally dog-shaped. I still can't find my left shoe and I don't know where that hat-stand came from.

A Moon Shaped Pool

Radiohead album released in 2016. While it's possibly their moodiest album to date, it has some of the most intricate songs the band has ever created. It reflects a very emotional, yet creative time for the band. The album includes masterpieces such as "Daydreaming", "True Love Waits" and "Present Tense". A Moon Shaped Pool is a 10/10.

As my world
Comes crashing down
I'll be dancing
Freaking out
Deaf, dumb, and blind
-"Present Tense" from A Moon Shaped Pool

gone pear-shaped

When something has 'gone pear-shaped', it means something has gone wrong or not according to plan.

My barbeque has gone pear-shaped - nobody has bothered to turn up.

Heart-Shaped Box

The song by Nirvana was through the eyes of an aborted fetus-- Or, at least, that is one of the interpretations. The Heart-Shaped Box in this case could be a name for the uterus.

Courtney Love gave Kurt Cobain an actual box shaped like a heart, containing love letters, the head of a baby doll and other things symbolic in their relationship. Therefore, the title of the song has a double-meaning.

Heart-Shaped Box could either mean a uterus or Kurt's gift from Courtney.
