Lyrically Speaking - 2/12/25

#1 Post by littlebeast13 » Wed Feb 12, 2025 5:58 am

This Wild Wednesday game is for the birds, literally. Those flying pains in the ass who raid squirrel feeders are referenced in the titles or artists of all of today's songs...

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


1. They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

2. Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever

3. A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you

4. Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

5. Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way

6. Must be the gypsy in their soul
They have a need to rock and roll
They always will, they're out there still

7. I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain

8. Well, we made all the hot spots, my money flowed like wine
Then that low down southern whiskey began to fog my mind
And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town

9. Do you remember that day (that sunny day)
When you first came my way
I said no-one could take your place

10. Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight

11. One that won't raid the icebox
One that'll stay in shape
One that's never gonna try to migrate or escape

12. A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

This Wild Wednesday game is for the birds, literally. Those flying pains in the ass who raid squirrel feeders are referenced in the titles or artists of all of today's songs...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

Rocking Robin - Bobby Day


2. Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever

3. A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you

I Ran - Flock of Seagulls

4. Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

Take It Easy - Eagles

I was listening to The Long Run when I clicked on this post, but didn't even bother to think it would last to a krox. I'm not even going to ask for prescient points....

5. Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way

Mockingbird - James Taylor and Carly Simon

6. Must be the gypsy in their soul
They have a need to rock and roll
They always will, they're out there still

7. I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain

I Think I Love You - The Partridge Family

8. Well, we made all the hot spots, my money flowed like wine
Then that low down southern whiskey began to fog my mind
And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town

Dixie Chicken - Little Feat

I was holding out hope for this one as a krox, though....

9. Do you remember that day (that sunny day)
When you first came my way
I said no-one could take your place

Right Back to Where We Started From - Maxine Nightengale

10. Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight

11. One that won't raid the icebox
One that'll stay in shape
One that's never gonna try to migrate or escape

i Want a New Duck - Weird Al Yankovic

12. A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

Turn Turn Turn - Byrds


Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist which either the title or artist bring to mind birds.

When Doves Cry - Prince

Unless there's a dove song I don't recognize, I managed to keep my strict krox rules on this one!

1. They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole
Rockin' Robin - Bobby Day or Jackson 5 (Neither of whom did the nasty version that was a clapping singalong on the grade school playground when I was a kid [look up "sister's on the corner selling fruit cocktail" if you're curious]. Yes folks, your kids aren't as naive and innocent as you think they are...)

2. Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Band on the Run - Wings (The only song I ever heard Mecca Radio's computer algorithm play twice back to back...)

3. A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
I Ran - A Flock of Seagulls

4. Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
Take It Easy - Eagles (I sure as hell wasn't using "Fly Like An Eagle," I can't stand that song...)

5. Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way
Mockingbird - James Taylor and Carly Simon (either/or was good...)

6. Must be the gypsy in their soul
They have a need to rock and roll
They always will, they're out there still
The Night Owls - Little River Band

7. I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
I Think I Love You - The Partridge Family (I can't even remember what the famous ad was for in the 90's that introduced me to this song... it was never played on the oldies stations)

8. Well, we made all the hot spots, my money flowed like wine
Then that low down southern whiskey began to fog my mind
And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town
Dixie Chicken - Little Feat

9. Do you remember that day (that sunny day)
When you first came my way
I said no-one could take your place
Right Back Where We Started From - Maxine Nightingale

10. Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
Good Time - Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen (Again, either/or, but without Owl City it didn't make sense in this game. This song was involved in a weird lawsuit where another artist claimed plagiarism. Jepsen's group settled, but Owl City's did not, and the other artist eventually dropped the suit. Supposedly the settlement money was returned...)

11. One that won't raid the icebox
One that'll stay in shape
One that's never gonna try to migrate or escape
I Want A New Duck - Weird Al Yankovic (Check this one out if you've never heard it. I avoided it for a long time because the title change screamed lame album filler parody... but it's an absolute work of genius. I'd say that's par for the course for Weird Al, but his parody filler on UHF and Bad Hair Day is dreadfully bad...)

12. A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
Turn Turn Turn - The Byrds

A slow week in Image Bonuses got red hot in a hurry! Several of these would have been easy winners in either of the last two games, but Weasel set the bar high early and claimed the IBB. "Say Aflac!" cracked my ass up....
