Lyrically Speaking 1/26/24

One of my more favorite themes I ever did for an LSWE game involved lyrics that are spoken rather than sung during a song. It's hard to believe that game dates all the way back to the 2010 LSWE, and that it's taken me fourteen years to get around to a sequel. But here are fifteen more spoken lyrics from songs for you to humm..... er, mumble along to.

Make sure you have your answers in before 7 AM CST on Monday morning! You never know how quickly after work I'll post the answers, and just a reminder, no extensions!

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


1. What's that, honey?
Pick you up at 8, and don't be late?

2. Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you

3. Ladies and gentlemen
The dream we all dream of (Oh, please!)
Boy versus girl in the World Series of love

4. So drop the top baby
And let's cruise on into
It's Better Than Ever Street

5. I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge
On another gorgeous sunny Saturday
Not seein' that bumper-to-bumper traffic

6. Hey Tommy, check that out, man!
What Vince? Where?
Right there, man! Hey baby, you wanna go somewhere?

7. Now that I told ya a little bit about myself
Let me tell ya a little bit about this dance
It's real easy to do, check it out

8. Hey, hey, hey!
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars
And the dirty, dirty cheats of the world
You could've been getting down to this sick beat

9. Could you just check the line
Just one more time if you can
I'm pretty sure her phone
Wouldn't be answered by no man

10. Out of my window, I could see them in the moonlight
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate

11. Hey Jesse
Now Jerome, yes!
Check it out

12. Have you seen Junior's grades?

13. None of them received a hero's welcome

14. As he drove away on that rainy night, I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I'll never know

15. That's the end?

JJC Points:

Krox gets 3 JJC points for Talk Talk, which I successfully guessed even before I verified it was them...

Weasel coaxed the first supermax of the year out of me with those baby talking memes...

Panic gets 2 JJC points for Kroxing another Mecca earworm I can't believe didn't occur to me to use, and STFU cat...

jarnon gets 2 JJC points for ringy dingies....

frank gets 2 JJC points for another image that, like Big Daddy, I had no clue what its relevance was without looking it up, but didn't care since it was cool on its own.

After further consideration, BiT gets to keep the JJC points I gave him for Chubby Checker, for 3 in total...

Beebs gets a JJC point for copying off of BiT's paper...

Vandal gets a JJC point for not speaking...

mikeh gets 3 JJC points for the comic. I always enjoyed Dilbert's humor even though I never worked in an office environment...

melly gets a JJC point for Taylor looking like she's about ready to barf...

Earl gets 2 JJC points for Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike (and Ralph, who didn't become anything.... BTW, they played "Poison" at work last night!), and for bad cat puns...
