Lyrically Speaking - 2/7/11

[littlebeast13]

All of you number haters out there will be glad to know we aren't going there for today's Fill in the Blank Monday. This game features songs that mention famous people in the lyrics. I recall vandal once did an LS game around this theme, but he gave you the lines with the celebs. No such luck this time.... you have to come up with them yourselves....

There's a chance I may get this weekend's game closed and possibly even scored today, although if I don't get it done in the next hour and a half, it will probably have to wait. I honestly don't anticipate getting the standings caught up on until Wednesday though. I'll also try to get the halfway mark announcement I was going to make posted as well today, but if not, that will also have to be put on hold. Please bear with me as I try to get back into the swing of things.....

littlebeast13

All of you number haters out there will be glad to know we aren't going there for today's Fill in the Blank Monday. This game features songs that mention famous people in the lyrics. I recall vandal once did an LS game around this theme, but he gave you the lines with the celebs. No such luck this time.... you have to come up with them yourselves....

There's a chance I may get this weekend's game closed and possibly even scored today, although if I don't get it done in the next hour and a half, it will probably have to wait. I honestly don't anticipate getting the standings caught up on until Wednesday though. I'll also try to get the halfway mark announcement I was going to make posted as well today, but if not, that will also have to be put on hold. Please bear with me as I try to get back into the swing of things.....

I am a complete dumbass (big shocker, I know)......

Spoiler

It wasn't until I read some previous answers that I realized I thought the wrong song was the bonus. I just honed in on the 'four people' part.

The funniest part of it all is that I was actually going to give the initials thing as a Fanny Fun Fact on my answer, but I decided that everybody knows that, so it wasn't worthy of FFF status. And I STILL didn't connect those initials with lb. ARRRGH!!!!1
