Lyrically Speaking - 1/23/24
It's time for Tuesday Hidden Wordplay, where unlike my previous Tuesday series, these songs will all have a word in common somewhere in their lyrics. Obviously, the word we're looking for won't be a real common word. I'm pretty sure the word "the" appears in most songs (and yes, I did once use that word for a Tuesday Wordplay game!). Even a word like "love' is way too common in songs to qualify. I think you'll know it when you find it, and I made sure to include what I thought was the easiest of the six games first. If you identify at least three or four of these songs, I think you'll figure out the word...
A couple more things: The key word will never appear in the title, and it also won't appear in the lyrics I post. Also, variants of the key word won't work. If the key word is "squirrel," then "squirrels" or "squirreled" or "squirrel's" won't qualify a song for the set.
And don't forget, Monday's game remains open until tomorrow morning!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the key word...
1. I come home in the morning light,
My mother says, 'When you gonna live your life right?'
2. Well the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks, looks and drives like an ace now
(You walk like an ace now, you walk like an ace)
3. In this time, give it to me easy
And let me try with pleasured hands
4. Now my girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know
5. So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while, oh oh
6. You know she likes the lights
At night on the neon Broadway signs
She don't really mind
It's only love she hoped to find
7. I used to be a heart beatin' for someone
But the times have changed
The less I say, the more my work gets done
8. I scream, you scream
We all scream for her
9. Well the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
10. I can't stand her
Doing what she did before
Leaving like a gypsy queen in a fairy tale
11. Well, if it rains, I don't care
Don't make no difference to me
12. Stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
What word can be found in the lyrics to all of these songs?

Obviously, the word we're looking for won't be a real common word. I'm pretty sure the word "the" appears in most songs (and yes, I did once use that word for a Tuesday Wordplay game!). Even a word like "love' is way too common in songs to qualify. I think you'll know it when you find it, and I made sure to include what I thought was the easiest of the six games first. If you identify at least three or four of these songs, I think you'll figure out the word...
A couple more things: The key word will never appear in the title, and it also won't appear in the lyrics I post. Also, variants of the key word won't work. If the key word is "squirrel," then "squirrels" or "squirreled" or "squirrel's" won't qualify a song for the set.
And don't forget, Monday's game remains open until tomorrow morning!

If I'd had more time, I was going to find a picture of my Dad playing guitar while I sat on the top of the chair with a stank face. I thought I had posted it here for a Father's Day once upon a time but after spending too much time looking for it and going down the rabbit hole of old threads, I decided to just go with the tried and true.

Re: Lyrically Speaking - 1/23/24
Burl had quite a career. He first gained a reputation as a wandering troubadour of the Pete Seeger type, was big on radio, and was eventually blacklisted due supposed communist ties. He originated the role of Big Daddy on Broadway before playing it on film, and also won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for The Big Country.littlebeast13 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 8:07 am

I'll always remember him best, though, for an album of children's songs he released when I was a kid. We listened to it incessantly. That's where I first heard songs like The Lollipop Tree, Froggie Went a Courtin', and The Little White Duck.
