Spoiler
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

"Heart of Gold" - Neil Young

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

"Another Day in Paradise" - Phil Collins

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

"Peppermint Twist" - ?

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

"Wannabe" - Spice Girls

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)

"Can't Fight the Feeling" - Justin Timberlake

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)

"Poker Face" - Lady Gaga

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

"Making Love Out of Nothing At All" - Air Supply

Thanks for the game LB. I know I'm finishing weak but the weekend was extremely busy and eventful so only time for a quick one time pass through the lyrics.

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.

"Something Going On" - Frida

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...

The Peppermint Twist - Joey Dee & The Starlighters (This was an old school Mecca earworm, and it only got worse when Glade came out with a holiday air freshener named Peppermint Twist. I was singing the doo wop lyrics from the chorus in my head every time I saw a can of it...)

So you all want ribbons? I have a ribbon that says "Ask Me About This Diaper" if anyone would want to wear it. Anyway... I was extremely torn between Krox's "Meh" trophy and elwood's Zonk Island. In the end, I gave the final IBB of the 2018 LSWE to elwood. You may want to get your immunizations and update your will, because I'm calling a travel agent to arrange this trip for you right now...

My gratitude goes without saying by:
1) playing every game
2) making my fonts easy to see thus answers easy to mark wron, er correct.
3) making sure my pictures are presented correctly
4) following the directions by using the correct spoiler code

I don't need the recognition or the 3 points. We have St. Louis.

You know how it goes.... the first time you don't say "I love you," you end up sleeping in the doghouse three points lighter...
