Lyrically Speaking - 2/6/24
Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2024 7:49 am
Here's another Tuesday Hidden Wordplay, where the key word of the day is not in the titles, but somewhere in the song lyrics. What word do all of these songs hide within their poetry? This one's a bit more difficult than the first two, but I still think most of you won't have any trouble at all with it...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the key word....
1. He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"That don't matter", he said, "'Cause it's all the same"
2. They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
I told 'em you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
3. One week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date
You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
4. Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
5. As you brush your shoes
Stand before the mirror
And you comb your hair
Grab your coat and hat
6. Well, we're having a ball just 'a bopping on the big dance floor
Well, there's a real square cat, he looks a 1974
7. They don't write 'em like that anymore.
They just don't write 'em like that anymore.
8. Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting
Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leperous faces
9. We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes up too high
'Cause she's got her own obligations
And so, and so do I
10. But I guess I'd better get myself together
'Cause when you left, you didn't leave too much behind
Just a note that said, "I'm sorry" by your picture
And a song that's weighing heavy on my mind
11. Gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local D.J.
It's a rockin' rhythm record I want my jockey to play
12. One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead
I met a girl there and she almost knocked me dead
What is the key word of the day?
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that has the key word of the day somewhere in the lyrics (but not the title).
Image Bonus: If you know the word, show me a fitting image.
