Game #195: Discography

Identify the 45 songs in List A and the 100 people in List B. Then, match each song to two people, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Five songs will be used twice.

LIST A: SONGS

A-1. Rise up, gather round,
Rock this place to the ground,
Burn it up, let's go for broke,
Watch the night go up in smoke.

A-2. You lying so low in the weeds,
I bet you gonna ambush me.
You'd have me down, down, down on my knees.

A-3. Yesterday and days before,
Sun is cold and rain is hard.
I know been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know it can't stop, I wonder.

A-4. He left no time to regret,
Kept his d**k wet
With his same old safe bet.
Me and my head high
And my tears dry,
Get on without my guy.

A-5. You lead us along,
My love and me, as we sing
Our early morning singing song.

A-6. You let me violate you,
You let me desecrate you,
You let me penetrate you,
You let me complicate you.

A-7. When some sweet hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go must've got up and went,
Well, I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie sets your pants on fire.

A-8. Chillin'; cooler den a squeak; kickin' dirt on my sneakers.
Suckers on the corner lookin' down at their beepers.
They couldn't get a job or a nice home,
So they want to stay and wait for the pay-phone.

A-9. I cry each night my tears for you.
My tears are all in vain.
I'll hope and I'll pray that maybe someday
You'll be back in my arms once again.

A-10. It's the way you love me,
It's a feeling like this,
It's centrifugal motion,
It's perpetual bliss.

A-11. You told me that you loved me.
Now, girl, show me.
'Cause I can't believe it's true
By the things you do.

A-12. I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin,
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised.
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide.

A-13. I was told when I got older all my fears would shrink,
But now I'm insecure and I care what people think.

A-14. And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away,
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away.

A-15. But when we leave this year, we won't be coming back,
No more hanging out 'cause we're on a different track.

A-16. My man put me up for the share, one-fourth of a square,
Headed for Delaware with one change of gear.
Nothin’ on my mind but the dime sack we blazed
With the glaze in my eye, that we find when we crave.

A-17. Hold me,
I'll give that you need,
Wrap your love around me,
You're so excited I can feel you getting hotter.

A-18. If you want my future, forget my past,
If you wanna get with me, better make it fast.
Now don't go wasting my precious time,
Get your act together, we could be just fine.

A-19. I know you know that I made those mistakes maybe once or twice –
By once or twice I mean maybe a couple of hundred times.
So let me, oh, let me redeem, oh, redeem myself tonight
'Cause I just need one more shot at second chances.

A-20. Why in the world would anybody put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it.
Everybody wants me to be what they want me to be.
I'm not happy when I try to fake it.

A-21. First time that I saw you, girl, I knew that I just had to make you mine,
But it's so hard to talk to you with fellas hanging 'round you all the time.

A-22. Just a young gun with a quick fuse,
I was uptight, wanna let loose,
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my own life behind.

A-23. She's winding them down on her clock machine
And she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen.
She's a frozen fire,
She's my one desire.

A-24. Lying here with you, listening to the rain,
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face.
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive,
These are the moments I'll remember all my life.

A-25. I know you miss your mom
And I know you miss your dad when I'm gone,
But I'm trying to give you the life that I never had.
I can see you're sad.

A-26. Joggin' in the mornings – go, man go!
Workouts in the health spa, muscles grow.

A-27. You changed my life
With just the wave of your smile,
Soothed my doubt
And eased my worried mind.

A-28. You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
'Cause you've taken her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed.

A-29. I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I start to brag about my car,
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far.

A-30. This perfect romance that I've created in my mind,
I'd live a thousand lives
Each one with you right by my side,
But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance
And so it seems like we'll never have the chance.

A-31. Why drink the water from my hand,
Contagious as you think I am?
Just tilt my sun towards your domain.
Your cup runneth over again.

A-32. I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision.

A-33. How could you be so cold as the winter wind when it breeze, yo?
Just remember that you talkin' to me though.
You know need to watch the way you talkin' to me, yo,
I mean after all the things that we've been through,
I mean after all the things we got into.

A-34. You're digging for gold
Yet throwing away
A fortune in feelings
But someday you'll pay.

A-35. So close no matter how far,
Couldn't be much more from the heart.
Forever trust in who we are.

A-36. And I don't wanna come between you and your man,
Even tho I know I'll treat you better than he can.

A-37. They took a ride so, baby, I went too,
Stopped at the record hop, I had to be a sport.
We jumped and we did the slop,
Then you walked in and I was caught.

A-38. Girl, I can buy your ass the world with my pay stub.
Ooh, that p**sy good, won't you sit it on my taste buds?
I get way too petty once you let me do the extras.
Pull up on your block, then break it down, we playing Tetris.

A-39. I wanna see y'all, who wanna plan with me?
Wave your hands across the land if we family.

A-40. So, like what do you think?
Did you think that girl was pretty?
How did that girl even get in here?
Did you see her?
She's so short and that dress is so tacky,
Who wears cheetah?

A-41. Carried your books from school,
Playin' make believe you're married to me.
You were fifth grade, I was sixth
When we came to be.

A-42. The heart of the city street was beating,
Light from the neons turned the dark to day,
We were too hot to think of sleeping,
We had to get out before the magic got away.

A-43. A local boy kicked me in the butt last week.
I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek.
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well,
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell.

A-44. I can turn a river into a raging fire.
I can live forever if I so desire.

A-45. I been movin' calm, don't start no trouble with me.
Tryna keep it peaceful is a struggle for me.
Don't pull up at 6 AM to cuddle with me,
You know how I like it when you lovin' on me.

Identify the 45 songs in List A and the 100 people in List B. Then, match each song to two people, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Five songs will be used twice.

THE NICHOLAS BROTHERS. (Their first names were Fayard and Harold, but the way Frank worded this, I think the last name is the only pertinent part of the puzzle.)


Thanks for thinking of me, Frank. I'll let Lizbit and Wiki take a look at the lyrics, in case they recognize something they have heard on "Songs The Beatles Listened To."

1) MED reply: OMG, yes!!! the H-4 Hercules is the Spruce Goose!!!

2) MED reply: Right church, wrong pew. Veidt was Cesare, the somnambulist. WERNER KRAUSS was Dr. Caligari. I think Goebbels gave him some sort of Nazi cultural post.

Rock this place to the ground,
Burn it up, let's go for broke,
Watch the night go up in smoke.

You'd have me down, down, down on my knees.

Barracuda -- Heart

Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know it can't stop, I wonder.

Our early morning singing song.

Sweet Emotion -- Aerosmith

A-8. Chillin'; cooler den a squeak; kickin' dirt on my sneakers.
Suckers on the corner lookin' down at their beepers.
They couldn't get a job or a nice home,

My tears are all in vain.
I'll hope and I'll pray that maybe someday
You'll be back in my arms once again.

It's a feeling like this,
It's centrifugal motion,
It's perpetual bliss.

'Cause I can't believe it's true
By the things you do.

A-12. I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin,

Mr. Roboto -- Styx

A-13. I was told when I got older all my fears would shrink,
But now I'm insecure and I care what people think.

A-15. But when we leave this year, we won't be coming back,
No more hanging out 'cause we're on a different track.

Wrap your love around me,
You're so excited I can feel you getting hotter.

When I start to brag about my car,
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far.

Don’t Worry Baby – The Beach Boys

I'd live a thousand lives
Each one with you right by my side,
But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance
And so it seems like we'll never have the chance.

You'll be back in my arms once again.

Should have realized earlier this is Dave Roberts.
I'm pretty sure Dave Roberts has never won a World Series as a manager. He's won a World Series as a player (2004 with the Red Sox).

My mistake, I misread the information. He managed a team IN the series.

Could B-18 be CARL REINER? I seem to have some memory of someone at or near the end of The Russians are Coming, The Russians Are Coming! shouting that line as he runs. If it's Reiner, he fits the clue in the other way, as well.

I looked this up because I don't think Frank would dare include Carl in one of his games. Thank goodness, another character said that line.
