Lyrically Speaking - 2/9/18
Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2018 9:41 am
Welcome everyone to the luckiest event on the Bored! Where you too could take home millions of..... er, thousands of...... er.... a small handful of valuable points!!! It's the first ever LSWE slot machine tournament! All the fun of pressing buttons for hours without all the hand cramps or germs from the previous players! Here's how it works....
Below are 20 songs that each contain the symbols for the LSWE's made up slot machine. Symbols can ONLY be found within the titles of the songs. The slot machine grid looks like this:
You will place nine of the songs you can correctly identify BOTH title AND artist for into any of the nine slots you wish in an attempt to get the maximum payout possible. The grid contains five paylines... all three rows and both diagonals. Only a line containing three like symbols, or substituting wild(s), will win you points.
The symbols with their payouts are as follows:
3 Cherries: 1 point
3 Bells: 2 points
3 Diamonds: 3 points
3 Hearts: 5 points
3 Gold Coins: 10 points
3 Sevens: 25 points
3 Wilds: 50 points
Wild symbols can take the place of any symbol in a line it falls within. There is also a double hidden in this game that serves as a wild symbol, and will double the payout of any line(s) it is used in.
If you can't identify at least nine of the songs below by BOTH title AND artist.... well, fill in what you have anyway. I'm sure there will be a few of you...
The points you accumulate in your winning grid do not go to your scores..... no, this game isn't about to get THAT crazy. This is a tournament... so the players with the top five total payouts in their grid will receive the following prizes that WILL get added to their LSWE scores...
5th place: 1 point
4th place: 3 points
3rd place: 5 points
2nd place: 10 points
1st place: 20 points
In the event of any ties, prize points for those slots will be pooled together and split between the tied players, with totals rounded up to the next whole number if there is a remainder.
Good luck everyone!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. When the lights go down in the California town,
People are in for the evening.
2. I felt a little fear, upon my back
I said don't look back, just keep on walking
(Woo-hoo, woo-hoo)
3. I'm glad you're home
Well, did you really miss me?
I guess you did by the look in your eye (look in your eye, look in your eye)
4. There are stars in the southern sky
Southward as you go.
5. where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell
and lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell
6. Oh my love you're like a precious stone
Part of earth where heaven has rained on
Makes no difference where you are
Day or nighttime you're like a shinin' star
7. I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart, I long to stay
8. I've had to work much harder than this
For something I want don't try to resist me
9. This time I had a good time, ain't got time to wait
I wanna stick around till I can't see straight
10. Love, love on the run, breaking us down,
Though we keep holding on.
I don't want to lose, no I can't let you go
11. I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon that you'll walk
Back through that door
And love me like you tried before
12. Come on everyone we gotta get together now
Oh yeah, love's the only thing that matters anyhow
And the beauty of life can only survive
If we love one another
13. You never let me cross the other side now
I'm tied to the hope that you will somehow
Hard on the heels of something more,
but I lost your love
14. Saw this luscious little frame I ain't lyin' fellas she was fine
The sweet young miss go gave me a kiss and I knew that she was mine
15. Ain't got money
Ain't got no gas
But we'll get where
We're goin' if we
Swing real fast
16. I won't take no prisoners
Won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
17. Usually Monday's long enough, but this is just the start
Tuesday's just the same as Monday without the surprising part
18. Clouds covered love's
Barb-wired snare
Strung up, strung out
I just can't go without
19. So if you've got someone whose love is tru-u-ue
Let it shine for yo-ou-ou
20. Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space
