Game #166: It’s Only Rock and Roll
Game #166: It’s Only Rock and Roll
Identify the 100 songs in the clues below. (Most are from the pop charts, but we make a few excursions elsewhere.) Create 26 pairs and 14 triples, then match each pair or triple with another song on the list, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Thirty-four songs will be used twice, each time in a different capacity.
1. When it's eight nine ten,
Eleven, too,
I'll be goin' strong and so will you.
2. The birds are singing and the children are playing,
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying,
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying,
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.
3. I don't want you to tell me
Just what you intend to do now,
'Cause how many times do I have to tell you,
Darling, darling, I'm still in love with you now?
4. Ain't no doubt about it,
We were doubly blessed,
'Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed.
5. Oh, how you tried
To cut me down to size,
Telling dirty lies to my friends.
6. The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child,
Oh, but the fire went wild.
7. You know darn well
When you cast your spell
You will get your way,
When you hypnotize
With your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay.
8. Her arms are wicked and her legs are long,
When she moves my brain screams out this song.
9. I hear music when I touch your hand,
A beautiful melody from some enchanted land.
10. He's a soft-spoken guy,
Also seems kinda shy.
Makes me wonder if I
Should even give him a try.
11. Hail,
With it, baby,
‘Cause you're fine, and you're mine, and you look so divine.
12. I live my life as a thug, but girl, you know I need ya,
Each and ever women that I meet, damn, they don't wanna be ya.
It ain't no limit to what we could do.
Holla if ya hear me, girl, you know I'm comin' through.
13. Daylight licked me into shape,
I must have been asleep for days,
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes.
14. Come right back, I just can't bear it,
I've got this love and I long to share it.
Come right back, I'll show my love is strong.
15. We stroll along together,
I tell you I need you oh so much,
I love, love you my darling.
Can you tell it in my touch?
16. Don't let your friends say you have no taste,
Go ahead and marry anyway.
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match,
Take it from me, she's a better catch.
17. In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty,
I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind.
18. Everybody needs a change,
A chance to check out the new,
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through.
19. In the deep forest
Their blood and tears rushed over me.
All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun
And my fear up inside me.
20. Well, she never asks very much,
And I don't refuse her,
Always treat her with respect,
I never would abuse her.
21. Overthrow the effigy,
The vast majority,
We're burning down the foreman of control.
Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul.
22. Sentimental fool am I
To hear an old love song and wanna cry.
23. Gray is my favorite color.
I felt so symbolic yesterday,
If I knew Picasso,
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play.
24. Have you heard when love begins to die
It leaves someone to cry night and day?
Like a bird, you left your robin's nest
And-a just like all the rest you flew away.
25. Life is fine every time
Thoughts of you leave my head.
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget.
26. Take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears.
27. Gee, but it's great to be back home,
Home is where I want to be.
I've been on the road so long, my friend,
And if you came along,
I know you couldn't disagree.
28. Yeah, I tried re-wiring her,
Tried re-firing her,
I think her engine is permanently stalled.
29. Oh, sweetheart, put the bottle down,
You've got too much talent.
I see you through those bloodshot eyes
There's a cure, you've found it.
30. There is someone who really needs you,
Here is my heart in my hand.
31. I wanna thank you for giving me time to breathe.
Like a rock you waited so patiently
While I got it together, while I figured it out.
32. Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed,
Looking at the sky, starry-eyed,
Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed,
Crying in the night, teary-eyed.
33. Your sweet nature, darling,
Was too hard to swallow.
I got the solution,
I'm leaving tomorrow
And now as I stand
And stare into your eyes,
I see safety there.
I want surprises.
34. So far apart
They say we're so far apart
And that we haven't the right
To change our destiny.
35. It's been a long time since the book of love,
I can't count the tears of a life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from.
36. Did you know I go to sleep and leave the lights on
Hoping you'd come by and know
That I was home and still awake?
But two years go by and still my light's on
This is hard for me to say
But it is all that I can take.
37. I can't believe I fell for your schemes.
I'm smarter than that.
So young and naive to believe that with me
You're a changed man.
38. He makes promises he doesn't keep,
Sometimes I don't see him all week,
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep.
39. Now because you wear all those fancy clothes (oh yeah)
And have a big fine car (oh yes, you do now)
Do you think I can afford to give you my love? (oh yeah)
You think you're higher than every star above.
40. I called her yesterday, it should have been tomorrow,
I could not keep this joy that was inside,
I beg for her to tell me if she really loved me,
Somewhere a mountain is moving,
Afraid it's moving without me.
41. Give me a chance to make up for the harm I've done,
Try to forgive me and let's keep the two of us one.
42. We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In the bar that faces the giant car wash,
And the good people of the world
Are washing their cars on their lunch breaks,
Hosing and scrubbing as best they can
In skirts and suits.
43. We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears.
44. I've thought of every word I'd say,
Give or take a few,
But she turns and slowly walks away.
What do I have to do?
45. A cold and frosty morning, there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind.
As the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind.
46. If a flame should start
As you hold him near,
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear.
47. You love me, you hate me, I tried to take the loss.
You're cryin' me a river, but I got to get across.
48. She brings you good news,
Or haven't you heard?
When she fell out of Kansas
A miracle occurred.
49. It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war,
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore.
50. Maybe you think that love would tie you down,
And you don't have the time to hang around.
Maybe you think that love was made for fools,
And so it makes you wise to break the rules.
51. Here I am,
Prayin' for this moment to last,
Livin' on the music so fine,
Borne on the wind,
Makin' it mine.
52. I know we really tried,
Together we had love inside,
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
So now the time has come
For both of us to live on the run,
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
53. I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul.
Ah, but she can't take you anywhere
You don't already know how to go.
54. Now my mom is a good mom and she loves me with all her heart,
But she said I was too young to be in love and the boy and I would have to part.
And no matter how I ranted and raved, I screamed, I pleaded, I cried,
She told me it was not really love but only my girlish pride.
And that's called "bad."
55. Well, now, every time I rolled them dice I'd win
And I was just gettin' ready to roll 'em again,
When I heard somethin' behind me,
I turned around and there was a big old cop.
56. I'll rent a beach house in Miami,
Wake up with no jammies.
Lobster tail for dinner,
Julio serve that scampi.
57. Take that look of worry,
I'm an ordinary man.
They don't tell me nothing
So I find out what I can.
58. Girl, you know you got me, got me,
With your pistol shot me, shot me,
And I'm here helplessly
In love and nothing can stop me.
59. I got a letterman's sweater with a letter in front
I got for football and track.
I'm proud to wear it now when I cruise around
The other parts of the town.
I got a decal in back.
60. Well, I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around,
But I'll stand my ground.
61. I know your name,
I told you mine,
We stop and pass the time of day.
You work in town,
I work at night,
That gives us six until seven to work this out.
62. How you gonna do it if you really don't wanna dance
By standing on the wall?
Get your back up off the wall.
63. It's a long, long road
From which there is no return.
While we're on the way to there,
Why not share?
64. My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys,
And my old lady she don't care.
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots,
A handful of grease in her hair.
65. I ain't gonna do you wrong
While you're gone,
Ain't gonna do you wrong
'Cause I don't wanna.
66. So this is what it has to lead to,
Take my hand and make me need to.
I get down on my knees and beg you, baby,
Get down on my knees.
67. Well I still can't say I know
When a love is real or touch and go,
And if two can be one
Who is the one two become?
68. In my most secure moments I still can't believe
I'm spending those moments with you,
And the ground I am walking, the air that I breathe
Are shared at those moments with you.
69. Well, I guess, it's a brand new day after all
Every time we hear the curtain call,
See the girls with the curls in the hair,
The buttons and the pins and the loud fanfares.
70. She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby."
All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy.
71. She lightens my sadness,
She livens my days,
She bursts with a kind of madness
My well-ordered ways.
72. I still can remember
The last time I cried,
I was holding you and loving you,
Knowing it would end.
73. Your touch, your skin,
Where do I begin?
No words can explain
The way I'm missing you.
74. In the shadows of a golden age
A generation waits for dawn,
Brave carry on
Bold and the strong.
75. Now I'm towing my car,
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof.
76. Quarter to four in the morning,
I ain't feeling tired, no no no no no.
Just hold me tight and leave on the light
Cause I don't want to go home.
77. I run for the bus, dear.
While riding I think of us, dear.
78. Anytime you want to
You can turn me on to
Anything you want to,
Anytime at all.
79. You don't have to waste my time,
If you want to be a friend of mine,
You can leave me now and walk away,
And turn your back for another day.
80. Watch me clinging to the beat,
I had to fight to make it mine.
That religion you could sink it neat,
Just move your feet and you'll feel fine.
81. There you are,
Lookin' just the same as you did last time I touched you,
And here I am,
Close to gettin' tangled up inside the thought of you.
82. Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life?
All work and no play has just cost me a wife.
83. Sundown all around,
Walking through the summer's end,
Waves crash, baby, don't look back,
I won't walk away again.
84. LA told me, "You'll be a pop star,
All you have to change is everything you are."
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears.
She's so pretty, that just ain't me.
85. I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
And, Papa, I don't think I said "I love you" near enough.
86. East side to the west side
Pushing phat rides, it's no surprise
She got tricks in the stash,
Stacking up the cash,
Fast when it comes to the gas.
87. She likes the boys in the band,
She knows when they come to town.
Every musician's fan after the curtain comes down.
88. The five years we have had have been such good times.
I still love you.
But now I think it's time I lived my life on my own.
I guess it's just what I must do.
89. And the world will be a better place,
Yes, the world will be a better place
For you and me,
You just wait and see,
Wait and see.
90. Trick or treat, sweet to eat
On Halloween and New Year's Eve.
Yankee girls, you just can't be beat,
But you're the best when you're off your feet.
91. Feel the silky touch of my caresses,
They will keep you looking so brand new.
Let me cover you with velvet kisses,
I'll create a look that's made for you.
92. Who’s the cat who won’t cop out
When there’s danger all about?
93. They were all impressed with your Halston dress
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
And the story of your latest success
Kept 'em so entertained.
94. My hands, they're strong,
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet.
95. Why, oh why
Did she have to leave and go away?
I've been used to havin' someone to lean on,
And I'm lost,
Baby, I'm lost
96. Well, it's the second time I've caught you talking to him.
Do I have to tell you one more time?
I think it's a sin.
97. Clear the decks!
Clear the tracks!
You got nothin’ to do but relax!
98. Kept some letters by his bed
Dated nineteen sixty-two,
He had underlined in red
Every single "I love you."
99. Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now.)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now.)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now.)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now.)
100. All of my love,
All of my kissin',
You don't know what you've been a-missin’.

Each and ever women that I meet, damn, they don't wanna be ya.
It ain't no limit to what we could do.
Holla if ya hear me, girl, you know I'm comin' through.

I've got this love and I long to share it.
Come right back, I'll show my love is strong.
15. We stroll along together,
I tell you I need you oh so much,
I love, love you my darling.
Can you tell it in my touch?
16. Don't let your friends say you have no taste,
Go ahead and marry anyway.
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match,
Take it from me, she's a better catch.
17. In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty,
I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind.
18. Everybody needs a change,
A chance to check out the new,
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through.
19. In the deep forest
Their blood and tears rushed over me.

And my fear up inside me.
20. Well, she never asks very much,

Home is where I want to be.
I've been on the road so long, my friend,
And if you came along,
I know you couldn't disagree.
28. Yeah, I tried re-wiring her,
Tried re-firing her,
I think her engine is permanently stalled.
29. Oh, sweetheart, put the bottle down,
You've got too much talent.
I see you through those bloodshot eyes
There's a cure, you've found it.
30. There is someone who really needs you,
Here is my heart in my hand.
31. I wanna thank you for giving me time to breathe.
Like a rock you waited so patiently
While I got it together, while I figured it out.
32. Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed,

You're a changed man.
38. He makes promises he doesn't keep,

Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep.

You think you're higher than every star above.
40. I called her yesterday, it should have been tomorrow,
I could not keep this joy that was inside,

Oh yeah, oh yeah.
53. I found out a long time ago

Get your back up off the wall.

From which there is no return.
While we're on the way to there,
Why not share?
64. My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys,

A handful of grease in her hair.
65. I ain't gonna do you wrong
While you're gone,
Ain't gonna do you wrong
'Cause I don't wanna.
66. So this is what it has to lead to,
Take my hand and make me need to.
I get down on my knees and beg you, baby,
Get down on my knees.
67. Well I still can't say I know
When a love is real or touch and go,
And if two can be one
Who is the one two become?
68. In my most secure moments I still can't believe

A generation waits for dawn,
Brave carry on
Bold and the strong.
75. Now I'm towing my car,
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof.
76. Quarter to four in the morning,
I ain't feeling tired, no no no no no.

Anything you want to,
Anytime at all.
79. You don't have to waste my time,
If you want to be a friend of mine,
You can leave me now and walk away,
And turn your back for another day.
80. Watch me clinging to the beat,
I had to fight to make it mine.
That religion you could sink it neat,
Just move your feet and you'll feel fine.
81. There you are,
Lookin' just the same as you did last time I touched you,
And here I am,
Close to gettin' tangled up inside the thought of you.
82. Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life?
All work and no play has just cost me a wife.
83. Sundown all around,
Walking through the summer's end,
Waves crash, baby, don't look back,
I won't walk away again.
84. LA told me, "You'll be a pop star,
All you have to change is everything you are."
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears.
She's so pretty, that just ain't me.
85. I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
And, Papa, I don't think I said "I love you" near enough.
86. East side to the west side
Pushing phat rides, it's no surprise
She got tricks in the stash,
Stacking up the cash,
Fast when it comes to the gas.
87. She likes the boys in the band,
She knows when they come to town.
Every musician's fan after the curtain comes down.
88. The five years we have had have been such good times.
I still love you.
But now I think it's time I lived my life on my own.
I guess it's just what I must do.
89. And the world will be a better place,
Yes, the world will be a better place
For you and me,
You just wait and see,
Wait and see.
90. Trick or treat, sweet to eat
On Halloween and New Year's Eve.
Yankee girls, you just can't be beat,
But you're the best when you're off your feet.
91. Feel the silky touch of my caresses,
They will keep you looking so brand new.
Let me cover you with velvet kisses,
I'll create a look that's made for you.
92. Who’s the cat who won’t cop out
When there’s danger all about?
93. They were all impressed with your Halston dress
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
And the story of your latest success
Kept 'em so entertained.
94. My hands, they're strong,
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet.
95. Why, oh why
Did she have to leave and go away?
I've been used to havin' someone to lean on,
And I'm lost,
Baby, I'm lost
96. Well, it's the second time I've caught you talking to him.
Do I have to tell you one more time?
I think it's a sin.
97. Clear the decks!
Clear the tracks!
You got nothin’ to do but relax!
98. Kept some letters by his bed
Dated nineteen sixty-two,
He had underlined in red
Every single "I love you."
99. Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now.)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now.)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now.)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now.)
100. All of my love,
All of my kissin',
You don't know what you've been a-missin’.

Identify the 100 songs in the clues below. (Most are from the pop charts, but we make a few excursions elsewhere.) Create 26 pairs and 14 triples, then match each pair or triple with another song on the list, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Thirty-four songs will be used twice, each time in a different capacity.
Quick first pass for me, while I gulp down some lunch. Sorry I'm not here longer or more often.

Rock Around the Clock -- Bill Haley and his Comets

Hoping you'd come by and know
That I was home and still awake?
But two years go by and still my light's on

Is this that country song by Tracy Lawrence? I don't think so. It's called Every Light in the House is On, if that is it.

A miracle occurred.

Re: Game #166: It’s Only Rock and Roll
In one case, a song title with a question mark is incorrect.
In one case, the right song has been given a title that's off by one word. The artist is correct.
In one case, there's some ambiguity. The identification of the piece is correct. But the portion of the musical sequence I used is often listed under a different title. In fact, the soundtrack album lists it as a separate track.
In one case, three different people made the same incorrect identification, based on the fact that the first line of the excerpt I quoted is exactly the same as a line in another song. The rest of the excerpt, however, is different.
Everything else is, of course, correct.

Re: Game #166: It’s Only Rock and Roll
I'm assuming this is the Munchkin song. Not sure what the actual track is called. I know it's the part that starts with Glinda singing "Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are." Is that the title perhaps?franktangredi wrote: In one case, there's some ambiguity. The identification of the piece is correct. But the portion of the musical sequence I used is often listed under a different title. In fact, the soundtrack album lists it as a separate track.

Re: Game #166: It’s Only Rock and Roll
I'm guessing that we have a couple big clues to the Tangredi in Come Out, Come Out and You Must Meet My Wife since they stray pretty far from the pop/rock of the rest. There also seems to be a lot of old pop songs - 50's and eraly 60's.

Re: Game #166: It’s Only Rock and Roll
Everything that needs to be correct on this consolidation is correct except for one title/artist. As noted before, at last three people made the same identification because the first line of the excerpt I used is exactly the same as a line from a different song. Do you want me to identify which one?
