Lyrically Speaking 2/20/24

[littlebeast13]

The Tuesday Hidden Wordplay games continue to get a little harder. Can you find the common word that all of these songs contain somewhere in their lyrics, but not in the title?

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


1. When I was a little boy (When I was just a boy)
And the devil would call my name (When I was just a boy)

2. Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah

3. And there's a woman in the kitchen
Cleanin' up the evenin' slop
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin'
I can remember when you could stop a clock"

4. Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, something's out there
Floating in the summer sky

5. I was talking to an Eskimo
Said he was hoping for a fall of snow
When up popped a sea lion ready to go

6. Scanning life through the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
But Heaven forbid, she'll take anything

7. Yeah, I'm sittin' on this barstool
Talkin' like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues

8. She doesn't own a dress
Her hair is always a mess
If you catch her stealin', she won't confess
She's beautiful

9. Mister Krushchev said, "We will bury you"
I don't subscribe to this point of view

10. Kicked my ass out of school
Rolled me out into the streets
Hitched a ride on a monkey's back
Headed west into the black

11. You say black, I say white
You say bark, I say bite

12. I knew the gun was loaded
But I didn't think he'd kill
Everything exploded and the blood began to spill

JJC Points:


Panic gets 2 JJC points for Billy and the Boyz talking about interns past...

Weasel gets 2 JJC points for Rutherford B. Hayes (That's either a very young Hayes on that lid, or the wrong guy.

frank gets 2 JJC points for Nene (of erstwhile Nuggets fame) and another movie reference...

mikeh gets a JJC point for something that will most certainly get you shot...

Krox gets 2 JJC points for President Jack...

BiT gets a JJC point for Little Nena...

Beebs gets 3 JJC points for finding the world's smallest images...

melly gets a supermax for Presidential touch ups (It took me a minute to figure out who the last one was....)

Earl gets 2 JJC points for paying attention to the Mecca muzak and for an amazing cat...
