Lyrically Speaking - 2/7/12

#1 Post by Mr Opportunity » Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:35 am

Well, after all those time out errors and internal server nonsense, the Bored was finally able to hear me knocking and let me post today's Tuesday Wordplay game! This installment of the Lyrically Speaking Winter Mini Edition is brought to you by your local Honda dealer, outselling Dirty Harry and the rest of Detroit since the 1990's!

I'm Mr. Opportunity, it's LSWME time, and I'm knocking!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. My heart is human
My blood is boiling
My brain IBM.

2. You know she dances
While his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful

3. Take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip

4. Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' ev'rybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey, hey

5. She let the phone ring 20 times before she answered
Let me tell you what happen then
A minute later - I got the operator
Saying, "Please hang up and place your call again, Baby"

6. I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And I don`t worry about nothing, no
Because worrying`s a waste of my time

7. Here, have a dollar,
in fact no brotherman here, have two
Two dollars means a snack for me,
but it means a big deal to you

8. Now I know all the girls I've seen you with
I know you broke their hearts one after another now, bit by bit
You made 'em cry, many poor girls cry
When they try to keep you happy, they just try to keep you satisfied

9. Let me show you a new place
If you follow directions
You'll be wearing a new face
Add it to your collection

10. I stay at home at night (I stay at home)
Right by the phone at night (right by the phone)
But you won't call
And I-I won't hu-urt my pride

11. My dog bit me on the leg today.
My cat clawed my eyes.
Ma's been thrown out of the social circle,
And dad has to hide.

12. So many days you passed me by
See the tears standin' in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter

OK, I am on travel this week, going from home in central Maryland to Northern New Jersey (where I am now), driving back down to BWI airport tomorrow afternoon in order to take a flight to St. Louis where I will be working until Friday's flight back home. I tell you all of this because I do not have my Mac, which has my rankings. So, what I am going to do is a little experiment. I will guess where each song is ranked (and whether it is ranked) and when I get home, see how close I am. Oh, and I mentioned Amy Grant yesterday (along with Joni Mitchell and Counting Crows), so your disappointment is alleviated!
Spoiler
1. Mr. Roboto - Styx (very doubtful that it is in the T2000)
2. Mr. Jones - the aformentioned Counting Crows (guess is #982)
3. Mr. Tambourine Man - Byrds (guess #1893)
4. Mr. Blue Sky - ELO (guess #772)
5. Mr. Telephone Man - New Edition (no chance)
6. Nope
7. Mr. Wendal - Arrested Development (guess #1119)
8. Nope
9. Nope
10. Nope
11. Nope
12. Please Mr. Postman - Marvellettes (not on my list, I'm sure)

Kroxquo - Mean Mr. Mustard - Beatles (not on my list but only because my list contains just singles or songs that are generally regarded as popular. If it hits the chart, it's eligible. If it's Sgt. Pepper or Stairway to Heaven, it's eligible. If it's a really cool album cut that I deem most people wouldn't know, it's not eligible)

Bonmus - Never hard of Mr. Daniel Lumis. I'll guess Lost In Space.

Geez Louise? Am I the only fan of the late, great 60's episodes of Dragnet, or does this episode just not stick to everyone else's mind like it does mine. Friday and Gannon chased down some real winners over the years, but this was the most epic, outrageous cat of all. While it isn't my all time favorite of the 98 color episodes of Dragnet (That would be "The Grenade"), were I to rank them, it would be a lock for my Top 5....
