Lyrically Speaking - 2/28/24
It's time for the Rockin' in the USA finale, which will test your knowledge of artist geography. Here's the map of the regions I used for this theme....
Below are 15 songs, with three for each of the five regions I covered this year. So along with the usual credit, just identify the region (NE, S, MW, W and CA will suffice) each artist came from or where the band was formed for an extra point. Yes, the Earl Rule does not apply to this game..... kinda.
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 1 point for the region...
1. Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
2. She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?
3. Why you all coming down on me
Tryin to tell me how my life is supposed to be?
I know you're only trying to help me out
Tryin to show me what life is really about
4. One that wont make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick
5. Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
6. Miss guarded heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no
7. I coudn't say what I wanted to say
Till she whispered, "I love you so"
8. You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
9. I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got 20 dollars in my pocket
10. I was so high, I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
11. My daddy is sleepin'
And mama ain't around
Yeah, daddy's just sleepin'
And mama ain't around
12. And it's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
13. Freezin', rests his head
On a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, feelin', maybe he'll see
A little better set a days, ooh yeah
14. Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibies
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye
15. I never read it in a book
I never saw it on a show
But I heard it in the alley
On a weird radio

It's time for the Rockin' in the USA finale, which will test your knowledge of artist geography. Here's the map of the regions I used for this theme....
Below are 15 songs, with three for each of the five regions I covered this year. So along with the usual credit, just identify the region (NE, S, MW, W and CA will suffice) each artist came from or where the band was formed for an extra point. Yes, the Earl Rule does not apply to this game..... kinda.
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 1 point for the region...
1. Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
2. She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?
Hello, I Love You -- The Doors CA
3. Why you all coming down on me
Tryin to tell me how my life is supposed to be?
I know you're only trying to help me out
Tryin to show me what life is really about
4. One that wont make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick
I Want a New Drug -- Huey Lewis and the News CA
5. Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
True Colors -- Cyndi Lauper NE
6. Miss guarded heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no
Miss Independent -- Kelly Clarkson South
7. I coudn't say what I wanted to say
Till she whispered, "I love you so"
8. You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You're the Inspiration -- Chicago -- midwest
9. I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got 20 dollars in my pocket
Thrift Shop -- Macklemor feat. Ryan Lewis Midwest
10. I was so high, I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
This Love -- Maroon 5 NE
11. My daddy is sleepin'
And mama ain't around
Yeah, daddy's just sleepin'
And mama ain't around
The Twist -- Chubby Checker South
12. And it's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
Free Fallin' -- Tom Petty South
13. Freezin', rests his head
On a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, feelin', maybe he'll see
A little better set a days, ooh yeah
14. Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibies
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye
Don't it make my brown eyes blue -- Crystal Gayle Midwest
15. I never read it in a book
I never saw it on a show
But I heard it in the alley
On a weird radio
Kroxquo Bonus: Name a song by an artist from Alaska or Hawaii.
Hands -- Jewel
Image Bonus: Show me something that's just so America...

I had completely forgotten that Jewel was from Alaska and thought that state was a black hole! I didn't even consider Don Ho for Hawaii, either.... so a lot of the Kroxes caught me pleasantly off guard.

Oh, and here's my Krox... one of my favorite songs from the era of the Mecca CD a decade ago....

mrkelley gets this one for a promotion I had literally not crossed through my mind since it happened. I barely remember it at all, but we got MTV in early 1984, and it does have a familiar ring to it. The toxic waste dump story cracks me up, living in a city has so much lead buried in it that they dug up a whole bunch of our yards in the 90's....
