Lyrically Speaking - 2/18/20

#1 Post by littlebeast13 » Tue Feb 18, 2020 7:49 am

So here we are, 22 games into the LSWE... and there's been exactly ONE song so far that qualified for the Annie Bonus. That means I haven't been doing my job of making sure there are enough "girl(s)" songs in the games, which is unacceptable. So for the final Tuesday Wordplay of the contest, it's the all Annie Bonus game. Each and every one of these songs can earn you an extra point if you play your cards right...

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


1. Sometimes you`re better off dead
There`s a gun in your hand
And it`s pointing at your head

2. I'm in love with you, girl
Cause I have on my mind
You're the one I think about most every time

3. She could of turned out to be
Almost anyone, almost anyone
With the possible exception
Of who I wanted her to be

4. When people ask of me
What would you like to be
Now that you're not
A kid anymore

5. The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away

6. Oh, my love
You`re like a precious stone
Part of earth where
Heaven has rained on

7. I'm a little let down but I'm not dead
There's a little bit more that has to be said
You played me now I play you too
Let's just call it over

8. She likes her tapes on ten
And it's the same as her anatomy
She's on a rainbow cruise
All the way to my room

9. I see your teeth flash Jamaican honey, so sweet
Down where Lexington cross 47th Street

10. Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in faith
Don't believe in anything
That you can't break

11. They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right

12. Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Forgot the names
Remember romance
I got the photos
A menage a trois
Musta broke those
Frenchie`s laws


Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that qualifies for the Annie Bonus.

Image Bonus: Billy Bored already had you show us your girls. So.... show us your squirrels. And yeah, since they're common Image Bonus fodder anyway, no ordinary squirrel is gonna do for this. Get creative!

Me and Wiki don't know these songs, but...
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that qualifies for the Annie Bonus.
Squirrel, by the Beatles.

We gotta work with what we got. For a long time, me and Wiki thought this was a song about birds. We thought they were saying "Gull," until Mr. Peter Asher taught us England English.

So here we are, 22 games into the LSWE... and there's been exactly ONE song so far that qualified for the Annie Bonus. That means I haven't been doing my job of making sure there are enough "girl(s)" songs in the games, which is unacceptable. So for the final Tuesday Wordplay of the contest, it's the all Annie Bonus game. Each and every one of these songs can earn you an extra point if you play your cards right...

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


1. Sometimes you`re better off dead
There`s a gun in your hand
And it`s pointing at your head

West End Squirrels - Pet Shop Boys

2. I'm in love with you, girl

3. She could of turned out to be

4. When people ask of me
What would you like to be
Now that you're not
A kid anymore

5. The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away

To All the Squirrels I've Loved Before - WIllie Nelson and Julio Iglesias

6. Oh, my love
You`re like a precious stone
Part of earth where
Heaven has rained on

Diamond Squirrel - Seals and Crofts

7. I'm a little let down but I'm not dead
There's a little bit more that has to be said
You played me now I play you too

10. Don't believe in fear

1. Sometimes you`re better off dead
There`s a gun in your hand
And it`s pointing at your head
West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys

2. I'm in love with you, girl
Cause I have on my mind

Girl You Know It's True - Milli Vanilli

3. She could of turned out to be
Almost anyone, almost anyone
With the possible exception
Of who I wanted her to be
That Girl Could Sing - Jackson Browne (I realized when Anon pointed out that I forgot to include Joe Jackson as the artist for "Is She Really Going Out With Him" that I tend to mix up Joe Jackson and Jackson Browne [because of the names, of course], and might have made an ass out of myself by putting Browne down for that song had including the girl in the song not thrown me off course...)

4. When people ask of me
What would you like to be
Now that you're not
A kid anymore
Bobby's Girl - Marcie Blane

5. The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To All The Girls I Loved Before - Willie Nelson & Julio Iglesias (Just Willie was fine, unless you're Esto and like to name the most obscure version of the song ever....)

6. Oh, my love
You`re like a precious stone
Part of earth where
Heaven has rained on
Diamond Girl - Seals & Croft

7. I'm a little let down but I'm not dead
There's a little bit more that has to be said
You played me now I play you too
Let's just call it over
Girls Chase Boys - Ingrid Michaelson (She got a lot of play during the Mecca CD era, and this one was a huge favorite of mine...)

8. She likes her tapes on ten
And it's the same as her anatomy
She's on a rainbow cruise
All the way to my room
Hot Girls in Love - Loverboy

9. I see your teeth flash Jamaican honey, so sweet
Down where Lexington cross 47th Street
Island Girl - Elton John

10. Don't believe in fear

12. Crazy Horse, Paris, France

A menage a trois
Musta broke those
Frenchie`s laws
Girls Girls Girls - Motley Crue

And of course, all of these songs could have gotten you ane xtra point if you substituted "squirrel(s)" for "girl(s)." It was funny to see a few players accidentally leave one song in their list unchanged...


Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that qualifies for the Annie Bonus.

The Annie Bonus does not normally apply to Kroxes, but it did here. So another point if you correctly squirreled your Krox...

Image Bonus: Billy Bored already had you show us your girls. So.... show us your squirrels. And yeah, since they're common Image Bonus fodder anyway, no ordinary squirrel is gonna do for this. Get creative!

Of course I loved a lot of these. This was another difficult decision, but I enjoyed melly's Mona Lisa squirrel enough to name it the IBB winner! Now we know why she's allegedly smiling...

I'm not surprised Zach got banned from the Bored. I'm surprised at how freaky Zach is though. :shock:

There must be some mistake here. Mine was the ONLY one that nailed the theme of girls disguised as squirrels!
