Game #193: Rainy Day Women

Game #193: Rainy Day Women

Identify the 100 songs below. Then, match them into 40 trios according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

• One song will be used three times, each time in a different capacity.

• Thirteen songs will be used twice, each time in a different capacity.

• Five songs will be used twice, each time in the same capacity.

Let’s kick things off with a song that I have been unjustly accused of including in every lyrics game….

1. Riding on the chuck wagon,
Following my man.
His name is Ted.
Can you believe that?

2. When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too.
I'll be goin' strong and so will you.

3. I was the one came runnin'
When you were lonely
I haven't lived one day
Not loving you only.

4. My baby makes me proud,
Lord, don't she make me proud.
She never makes a scene
By hangin' all over me in a crowd.

5. We were victims of the night,
The chemical, physical kryptonite,
Helpless to the bass and the fading light,
Oh we were bound to get together,
Bound to get together.

6. Well, she used to run around with every man in town,
She spent all my money, playing her high class game,
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried.
Tables turn and now her turn to cry.

7. You're so good,
When we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word can say,
Only in dreams could it be this way.

8. This ain't got sh*t to do with shampoo, but watch your head ’n’ shoulder,
Brother older bold enough to fold ya, yo, I told ya.
A raid afraid of what I made and played it, plus a funky fit,
So save your flips and tricks for that music and the monkey bit.

9. From the park you hear the happy sound of the carousel,
You can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell.

10. The Lord above gave man an arm of iron
So he could do his job and never shirk.

11. I can't suddenly stop,
You changed me from cold to hot,
Now I'm ready to give you all the love I've got,
Please don't leave me now.

12. Baby, seems we never ever agree.
You like the movies
And I like TV.

13. What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out?

14. You wanna stay out with your fancy friends,
I'm tellin' you it's got to be the end.

15. One down, one to go,
Another town and one more show.
Downtown they're giving away
But she never came back.

16. Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep,
Moonlight spills on comic books
And superstars in magazines,
An old friend calls and tells us where to meet,
Her plane takes off from Baltimore
And touches down on Bourbon Street.

17. Pushing the night into the daytime,
Watching the sky's first light
While the city sleeps.

18. I wouldn't if I were you,
I know what she can do.
She's deadly, man, she could really rip your world apart.
Mind over matter,
Ooh, the beauty is there but a beast is in the heart.

19. People dancing, people laughing,
A man selling ice cream,
Singing Italian songs.

20. Baby, if I think about you,
Think about love.
Darlin,' if I live without you,
I live without love.

21. Dogs with fleas, allergies,
A book of Greek antiquities,
Brand new pants, a very old vest -
Awesome items are the best.

22. I don't have no problem with you f**king me
But I have a little problem with you not f**king me.
Baby, you know I'ma take care of you
Cause you say you got my baby, and I know it ain't true.

23. Hold on to sixteen as long as you can,
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men.

24. It's not very easy living all alone.
My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own.

25. Hatty told Matty,
Let's don't take no chance,
Let's not be L-7,
Come and learn this dance.

26. Same old song,
Just a drop of water in an endless sea.
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see.

27. And if I ever lose my eyes,
If my colors all run dry,
Yes, if I ever lose my eyes,
I won't have to cry no more.

28. Percocets,
Molly, Percocets,
Percocets,
Molly, Percocets.
Rep the set,
Gotta rep the set,
Chase a check,
Never chase a bitch.

29. You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies,
Huarachi sandals, too,
A bushy, bushy blonde hairdo.

30. All over the country I'm seeing it the same,
Nobody's winning at this kind of game.
We gotta do better, it's time to begin,
You know all the answers must come from within.

31. Now you'll be my girl,
That's what I want,
Just you sweet girl
And not a front.

32. She said, "Babe, you know I miss Jill and Joe
And all my funky friends,"
But my street understanding was just enough
To know what she really meant.

33. Dance all night, keep the beat,
Don't you worry 'bout two left feet.

34. When explanations make no sense,
When every answer's wrong,
You're fighting with lost confidence,
All expectations gone.

35. And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land.

36. So I'm goin' away now, baby,
And I won't be back till fall.
I'm goin' away now, baby,
And I won't be back till fall.
Just might find me a good girl,
Might not be comin' back at all.

37. Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen,
Tonight we'll put all other things aside,
Give in this time and show me some affection,
We're goin' for those pleasures in the night.

38. She'll cry, just to think I'd really leave her,
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so.
She just didn't know,
I would really go.

39. Birds are singing, you by my side,
Let’s take a car and go for a ride.

40. You're a big boy now, you'll never let her go,
But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know.

41. I refuse to give in to my blues,
That's not how it's going to be,
And I deny the tears in my eyes
'Cause I don't want to let you see.

42. Ashanti, Terror, Terror Squad,
It should be about us,
Be about trust.

43. I see you, the only one who knew me,
But now your eyes see through me,
I guess I was wrong.
So what now? It's plain to see we're over
And I hate when things are over
When so much is left undone.

44. O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.

45. Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass.
Name of the band is The Human Race.

46. An older version of me.
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theater?
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby?
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother.

47. Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracy?
As the headline says, you're free to choose,
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes.

48. I've seen your picture,
Your name in lights above it.
This is your big debut,
It's like a dream come true.

49. You must have heard it from my best friend,
She's always talkin' when she should be listenin',
Can't keep a secret to save her life
But still I trusted her with all I felt inside.

50. You and me were gabbin' away,
Dreamy conversation sittin' in the hay.
Honey, how long was I laughing in the rain with you?
'Cause I didn't feel a drop 'til the thunder brought us to.

51. But I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart.
No, I don't see how it can if it's broken all apart.
A million miracles could never stop the pain
Or put all the pieces together again.

52. Remember dancing at the high school hop?
The dress I ruined with the soda pop?
I barely recognized the girl next door
With beat-up sneakers and a pony tail.

53. Feeling like a dead duck,
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

54. You need the evening action,
A place to dine, a glass of wine, a little late romance.
It's a chain reaction,
You'll see the people of the world coming out to dance.

55. I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive.
Now it makes me sad,
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you.

56. Sunny afternoons that made me feel so warm inside
Have turned as cold and gray as ashes
As I feel the embers die.

57. If you look out your window tonight
Pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart.
Read how many times I saw you,
How in my silence I adored you.
Only in my dreams did that wall between us come apart.

58. He's just as proud as he can be
Of his anatomy.

59. There are some people living in this world:
They have no food to eat, they have no place to go.
But we all are God's children, we have to learn to love one another.
Just remember they could be us.
Remember we all are brothers.

60. There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own.
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner.
There's no hiding place against the Kingdom's throne.

61. He's got seventy-five golden camels.
Purple peacocks
He's got fifty-three.
When it comes to exotic-type mammals
Has he got a zoo?
I'm telling you, it's a world-class menagerie!

62. The next stop that we make will be England.
Tell all the folks in Russia and China, too.

63. I guess now it's time for me to give up,
I feel it's time.
Got a picture of you beside me,
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup.

64. We never settled, went from town to town.
When you're not welcome you don't hang around.

65. I tried to call you before but I lost my nerve,
I tried my imagination but I was disturbed.

66. I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure.
Come on and hold me tight.
You move me.

67. She get it, pop it, lock it, drop it,
That birthday cake,
Got a candle, need to blow that crazy flame away,
Now take my red, black car and my jewelry.

68. I don't like a thing about your mother,
And I hate your daddy's guts, too,
I don't like a thing about your sister, no, no
'Cause I, I, I, think sex is overrated, too.

69. It's a shame that all the blame is on us women,
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most every heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame.

70. When you're laying so close to me
There's no place I'd rather you be than with me.

71. We weren't in love, oh no far from it,
We weren't searchin for some pie-in-the-sky summit.
We were just young and restless and bored,
Livin by the sword.

72. Some of them want to use you,
Some of them want to get used by you,
Some of them want to abuse you,
Some of them want to be abused.

73. Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in.
It's so damn easy, when your feelings are such,
To overprotect her, to love her too much.

74. I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered,
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered.

75. Tonight's the night,
Let's live it up,
Let's live it up,
Let's live it up,
Let's live it up,
Let's live it up,
Let's live it up,
Let's live it up,

76. The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees.

77. I love you, there's nothing to hide,
It's better than burning inside.

78. I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan,
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants,
Nobody's gon' tell me I can’t.

79. From the Spiritual Sky,
Such sweet memories have I.
To the Spiritual Sky
How I pray,
Yes, I pray
That I won't get lost
Or go astray.

80. The heat is stifling,
Burning me up from the inside.
The sweat is coming through each and every pore.
I don't want to be here no more.

81. I will not be made useless,
I won't be idled with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith,
For light does the darkness most fear.

82. Like a king without a castle,
Like a queen without a throne,
I'm an early morning lover
And I must be moving on.

83. The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same.
You're not to blame.

84. Now, you are here today
But easily you might just go away
’Cause we live in a time
When paintings have no color, words don't rhyme,
And that's why I've traveled far
'Cause I come so together where you are.

85. Hey, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby, here goes.

86. Pour my life into a paper cup,
The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts.
She wants to know, am I still a slut?

87. I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car,
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel,
The other on my heart.

88. She messed around with a bloke named Smokey.
She loved him though he was cokey.
He took her down to Chinatown
And he showed her how to kick the gong around.

89. And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does, well
Lightning strikes
Maybe once, maybe twice.

90. I'm ready and hyped, plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps.
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for four hundred years.

91. Well, no one told me about her.
What could I do?
Well, no one told me about her
Though they all knew.

92. So young to be loose and on her own.
Young boys, they all want to take her home.

93. I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day.
Only trouble is,
Gee whiz,
I'm dreamin' my life away.

94. Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street.
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street.
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream.
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.

95. The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony.

96. I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon.
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you.
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end.

97. All that pressure got you down?
Has your head been spinning all around?
Feel the rhythm, check the rhyme,
Come on along and have a real good time.

98. Love you every day, girl,
Always on my mind.
One thing I can say, girl,
Love you all the time.

99. Why don't you all f-fade away?
Don't try to dig what we all s-s-s-say.

100. 'Cause I need you,
I'll treat you right.
Come with me baby,
Be mine tonight.

Two brain farts on my pass, now that I've looked at others' answers.

23 is definitely Jack and Diane -- I just put that interlude in the wrong song.

44 is O Little Town -- ear's right. Although the lyrics could be sung to either tune -- I knew as soon as I saw Ear's answers that that was the right one -- I've even sung that verse in many Christmas services.

As I watch the Mueller hearing (mostly short political speeches phrased as questions à la Jeopardy!, with one-word responses from Mueller) I can catch up on other tasks such as creating a consolidation…

Identify the 100 songs below. Then, match them into 40 trios according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

• One song will be used three times, each time in a different capacity.

• Thirteen songs will be used twice, each time in a different capacity.

• Five songs will be used twice, each time in the same capacity.

Let’s kick things off with a song that I have been unjustly accused of including in every lyrics game….

1. Riding on the chuck wagon,
Following my man.
His name is Ted.

If I'm right, this is genius, and it may take forever for us to unravel. But I've found four so far, and I think I see parts of a bunch more. Building off lb's idea:

81. Jewel (Rhinestone) + 1. I Wanna be a COWBOY = Rhinestone Cowboy, by 38. Glen Campbell

Excellent job pinning this one down, mrk! This is one of those patterns that's going to be murder on slightly lysdexic people like me, but here goes...

Unlike the last one, this one was found unusually quickly. Some of the suggested matches don't work according to the rules, and I tried to be very strict myself about "opposites." For example, dog and cat aren't really opposites, though they are often placed in opposition to one another.

This probably does in my Small Town match, because I realized later that big's opposite is actually little, so I need a Large band and we don't have one (yet)...
