Lyrically Speaking - 1/22/18

#1 Post by littlebeast13 » Mon Jan 22, 2018 7:38 am

Onto week two of the LSWE... and for the Monday game, we'll be taking the slow boat to China and celebrating the world's largest continent. All of today's songs contain an Asian reference somewhere. And don't worry, Kim Jong Un has promised not to nuke this game, so you can safely play without worrying about being atomized. At least, I think he promised....

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


1. Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

2. It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

3. Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee, it's good to be back home
Leave it til tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey, disconnect the phone

4. He picks up a bus
And he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings
Toward the center of town

5. I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men who want to rule the world

6. I got no rap against the Southern states
Every time I've been there it's been great
But now I'm leaving and I can't be late

7. Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

8. She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'til your sense of which direction
Completely disappears

9. A cloud appears above your head.
A beam of light comes shining down on you.
Shining down on you

10. I could have gone to Canada or I could have stayed in school.
But I was brought up differently, I couldn't break the rules.

11. Talk about her like a Queen
Dancing in a Eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
Ow, that carries me away

12. It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

Onto week two of the LSWE... and for the Monday game, we'll be taking the slow boat to China and celebrating the world's largest continent. All of today's songs contain an Asian reference somewhere. And don't worry, Kim Jong Un has promised not to nuke this game, so you can safely play without worrying about being atomized. At least, I think he promised....

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


And the countdown is on to see if you left Turning Japanese for everyone to krox...

1. Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

The Heat of the Moment - Asia

2. It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Kung Fu Fighting - Karl Douglas

My cousin and I had this .45 and it was Game! On! No lamp in the house was safe.... My grandma was a sport and let us tear up cleaning rags to tie around our heads.

3. Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee, it's good to be back home
Leave it til tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey, disconnect the phone

Back in the USSR - Beatles

I had to think about this for a hot second. I always forget that the majority of Russia is in Asia...

4. He picks up a bus
And he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings
Toward the center of town

Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult

I wondered if I'd get JJC points for the umlauts, but couldn't be arsed to find the alternate keyboard to find out. I also wonder if I'm the only person whose favourite BOC song is NOT Don't Fear the Reaper.....

5. I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men who want to rule the world

China Squirrel - David Robert Jones

Hi, Hottie!!!1

6. I got no rap against the Southern states
Every time I've been there it's been great
But now I'm leaving and I can't be late

Katmandu - Bob Seger

My second favourite Seger tune! My first is, of course, Get Out of Denver....

7. Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

Turning Japanese - The Vapours

Boom! goes the dynamite

8. She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'til your sense of which direction
Completely disappears

Year of the Cat - Al Stewart

I'm expecting a supermax for turning you on to the Vietnamese calendar....

9. A cloud appears above your head.
A beam of light comes shining down on you.
Shining down on you

10. I could have gone to Canada or I could have stayed in school.
But I was brought up differently, I couldn't break the rules.

Still in Saigon - Charlie Daniels Band

11. Talk about her like a Queen
Dancing in a Eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
Ow, that carries me away

Woman from Tokyo - Deep Purple

12. It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

One Night in Bangkok - Murray Head

I fell down a JCS rabbit hole the other night and caught some videos of his. So much more than just Chess!

Additional Fun Fact That Probably Everybody Knows: His brother was the Taster's Choice Guy.


When I saw the topic, I didn't think there were that many Asian songs that I knew, but I think this might have been my best outing! Damn you, #9, #9, #9....

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains an Asian reference.

Midnight in Moscow - Kenny Ball

Slow Boat to China has been in my brain all through this, but I don't know if I can use China since it's in the game, so I played it safe. I love this song more, anyway.

Image Bonus: Show me something with a little Asian flair...

Oh, you knew this was coming,,,,

Image Bonus: Show me something with a little Asian flair. - This was the toughest one to pick on the young season! Had TBone and BiT not both picked Calgon, I might have gone with that. Anon's dragon was cool and Bored breaking, while mrk was the last one I eliminated because I love fucked up hentai comics. But Weasel's Engrish sign wins the IBB for precision and elegance...

By using songs like Kung Fu Fighting, Beach Baby and I Can Help, you are really taking me back to my senior year at Bastrop High. Go Rams!
