Lyrically Speaking - 2/16/18

#1 Post by littlebeast13 » Fri Feb 16, 2018 6:40 am

I hold in my hand the last LSWE envelope! And as I've done the past few years, since the contest morphed from a carefully and exquisitely planned marathon into a hastily thrown together half-assed collection of whatever ideas I can think up on the fly, the finale will be the all Music Choice game. I scanned through my cable music channels last night and collected 30 songs that I'm familiar with and hopefully aren't too obscure. And no, just because you don't listen to 21st Century music that doesn't make it obscure. Anyway, I hope you all had fun playing this year... and I thank all 19 of you (so far) who took the time to play!

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


1. Spotlight on Sam and Dave, y'all
Aw, don't they look great, y'all
Singing, hold on, I'm coming

2. She's got hair down to her fanny.
She's kinda jet set, try undo her panties

3. It doesn't matter where you go or what you do.
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you.
Look what has happened with just one kiss.
I never knew that I could be in love like this.

4. A one track mind
You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave

5. I've taken all I can take
And I cannot wait
We're wastin' too much time
Bein' strong, holdin' on
Can't let it bring us down

6. Obstacles and inhibition
Follow your intuiton
Free your inner soul
And break away from tradition

7. I've been to Hollywood,
I've been to Redwood

8. Bye, bye, baby, it`s been a sweet love, yeah
Though this feeling I can`t change
But, please, don`t take it so badly
Cause the Lord knows I`m to blame

9. How about no longer being masochistic
How about remembering your divinity
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How about not equating death with stopping

10. Until two and two is three
Yours until the mountain crumbles to the sea
In other words, until eternity

11. You can tell from the lines on her face
you can see that she's been there
probably been moved on from every place
'cos she didn't fit in there

12. Hey Mr. DJ put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby

13. Born a man-child of the sun, yeah
Yeah, saw my work had just begun
Yeah, Found I had to stand alone, yeah
Well bless it now I've got my own, oh yeah

14. on your mark ready set let's go
dance floor pro I know you know
I go psycho when my new joint hit
just can't sit

15. He was born a pauper
To a pawn on a Christmas day

16. Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore

17. It goes round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down
Round and round and a up and down
And a one two three kick, one two three jump

18. Someone told me
There`s a girl out there
With love in her eyes
And flowers in her hair

19. Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay

20. So I sing you a new song
Please don't cry any more
And I ask your forgiveness
Though I don't know just what I'm asking it for

21. What d`you think about that? Now you know how I feel
Say you can handle my love, are you for real?
I won`t be hasty, I`ll give you a try
If you really bug me then I`ll say goodbye

22. Then a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

23. Everybody's always talkin' 'bout who's on top
Don't cross our path 'cuz you're gonna get stopped
We ain't gonna give anybody any slack
And if you try to keep us stopped we're gonna come right back

24. Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Looking like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one

25. I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)

26. I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me (I love it)

27. You came to catch
You thought I'd be naive and tame
You met your match
I beat you at your own game

28. I was raised by a toothless bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back

29. Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels

30. I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie


Kroxquo Bonus: Give me the title and artist of the last song (or current song, if you're listening to music now) that you've heard.

Edit: Due to the issue with Google recently removing the link to the actual image from its Image search, making it much harder for some to capture images, I will be more lenient than usual about giving Image Bonus credit to just links or even descriptions if absolutely necessary...

Image Bonus: So this is the end of the 2018 LSWE! Based on where you think you'll finish in the standings, show me what you think you should win...
Thursday comics! Squirrel pictures! The link to my CafePress store! All kinds of fun stuff!!!!

Google has done something since yesterday and I can't figure out how to link to an image now.
I noticed yesterday when I grabbed an image for my blog that the "View Image" link was gone from Google... but I assumed it was just a quirk. It's a pain in the ass, but right clicking on the image when you bring up the black subscreen and clicking Properties will give you the url of the image... but sometimes you have to lop off the extraneous stuff after the .jpg/.png/etc. extension...

As always, thanks for doing this, LB! Hastily thrown together or not (and it doesn't come off as half-assed at any rate), you still kick ass with this and it's much appreciated!!!

I go psycho when my new joint hit
just can't sit

Ants In My Pants and I Just Gotta Dance-Tuesday Night Fever (from the "T-Bone Will Never Listen To This Crap" channel)

15. He was born a pauper
To a pawn on a Christmas day

Levon-Elton John

16. Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore

Knockin' On Heaven's Door-Bob Dylan hopefully, and not Guns 'n Roses, which has to be one of the worst cover versions of all time. I'd rather listen to a duet between fingernails on a chalkboard and a dentist's drill, amplified through stadium speakers strapped to my ears like headphones, than endure a single minute of Axl Rose's "singing". In fact, I would listen to 24 hours of "Free Bird" before I'd listen to this. Not that I have a strong opinion on the subject or anything.

17. It goes round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down
Round and round and a up and down
And a one two three kick, one two three jump

Peppermint Twist-Joey Dee & The Starlighters

18. Someone told me
There`s a girl out there
With love in her eyes
And flowers in her hair

Going To California-Led Zeppelin

19. Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay

Baby Love-The Supremes

20. So I sing you a new song
Please don't cry any more
And I ask your forgiveness
Though I don't know just what I'm asking it for

Hold Me Now-Thompson Twins

21. What d`you think about that? Now you know how I feel
Say you can handle my love, are you for real?
I won`t be hasty, I`ll give you a try
If you really bug me then I`ll say goodbye

Wannabe-Spice Squirrels

22. Then a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

Sultans Of Swing-Dire Straits

23. Everybody's always talkin' 'bout who's on top
Don't cross our path 'cuz you're gonna get stopped
We ain't gonna give anybody any slack
And if you try to keep us stopped we're gonna come right back

Hey, You, Get Offa My Lawn-The Rolling Grumps (from the "Retired and Ornery" channel)

24. Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Looking like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one

Tracks Of My Tears-from the gender in this lyric, it's the version by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles..unless there's been a recent cover I don't know about, in which case all bets are off in this day and age.

25. I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)

Sorry, You're Not My Type-Dracula Goes To Hollywood (from the "Blood Donation" channel

26. I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me (I love it)

Shooting Craps in Wheeling West Virginia-The Low Rollers (from the "Bargain Vacation" channel)

27. You came to catch
You thought I'd be naive and tame
You met your match
I beat you at your own game

I STILL Don't Have A Contract?-Jake Arietta ft. JD Martinez w/Mike Moustakas (from the "collusion" channel)

28. I was raised by a toothless bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back

Jumping Jack Flash-Rolling Stones

29. Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels

Running On Empty-Jackson Browne

30. I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie

Making Love Out Of Nothing At All-Air Supply

Kroxquo Bonus: Give me the title and artist of the last song (or current song, if you're listening to music now) that you've heard.

Don't Wanna Close My Eyes-Lisa Mychols


Image Bonus: So this is the end of the 2018 LSWE! Based on where you think you'll finish in the standings, show me what you think you should win...


I've tried numerous times and used a couple of different ideas, but now for some reason the place I usually get my images through is not giving me a way to copy and paste my image. So I'm just going to post the link and hope that's OK.

This will mean more if you've seen "Superman 2", but....

[quote="littlebeast13"]I hold in my hand the last LSWE envelope! And as I've done the past few years, since the contest morphed from a carefully and exquisitely planned marathon into a hastily thrown together half-assed collection of whatever ideas I can think up on the fly, the finale will be the all Music Choice game. I scanned through my cable music channels last night and collected 30 songs that I'm familiar with and hopefully aren't too obscure. And no, just because you don't listen to 21st Century music that doesn't make it obscure. Anyway, I hope you all had fun playing this year... and I thank all 19 of you (so far) who took the time to play!

No. OK, speaking of dire straits -- I'm going to YouTube . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n936e073z58 Dog and owner perform cute routine to Grease.

There`s a girl out there
With love in her eyes
And flowers in her hair

19. Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up

And I ask your forgiveness
Though I don't know just what I'm asking it for

21. What d`you think about that? Now you know how I feel
Say you can handle my love, are you for real?
I won`t be hasty, I`ll give you a try
If you really bug me then I`ll say goodbye

22. Then a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

Wild Night - Van Morrison

Don't cross our path 'cuz you're gonna get stopped
We ain't gonna give anybody any slack
And if you try to keep us stopped we're gonna come right back

Looking like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one

The Tracks of My Tears

25. I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)

26. I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me (I love it)

27. You came to catch
You thought I'd be naive and tame
You met your match
I beat you at your own game

28. I was raised by a toothless bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back

Jumpin' Jack Flash - Rolling Stones

29. Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels

Running On Empty - Jackson Browne

30. I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie


Kroxquo Bonus: Give me the title and artist of the last song (or current song, if you're listening to music now) that you've heard.

Just turned on Pandora, and they were playing Cold As Ice by Foreigner.

Edit: Due to the issue with Google recently removing the link to the actual image from its Image search, making it much harder for some to capture images, I will be more lenient than usual about giving Image Bonus credit to just links or even descriptions if absolutely necessary...

Image Bonus: So this is the end of the 2018 LSWE! Based on where you think you'll finish in the standings, show me what you think you should win...

I hold in my hand the last LSWE envelope! And as I've done the past few years, since the contest morphed from a carefully and exquisitely planned marathon into a hastily thrown together half-assed collection of whatever ideas I can think up on the fly, the finale will be the all Music Choice game. I scanned through my cable music channels last night and collected 30 songs that I'm familiar with and hopefully aren't too obscure. And no, just because you don't listen to 21st Century music that doesn't make it obscure. Anyway, I hope you all had fun playing this year... and I thank all 19 of you (so far) who took the time to play!

Kroxquo Bonus: Give me the title and artist of the last song (or current song, if you're listening to music now) that you've heard.

Because I've been watching Decades this past weekend, I will put down:

THE FACTS OF LIFE THEME-Gloria Loring (I actually prefer the later theme that they used the last 3 seasons of the show.)

Edit: Due to the issue with Google recently removing the link to the actual image from its Image search, making it much harder for some to capture images, I will be more lenient than usual about giving Image Bonus credit to just links or even descriptions if absolutely necessary...

Image Bonus: So this is the end of the 2018 LSWE! Based on where you think you'll finish in the standings, show me what you think you should win...

Well, I'm guessing I'm going to get 7th place, so along with my ribbon:

I'm probably also going to get the classic game show consolation prizes: Rice A Roni & Turtle Wax! :D
