Lyrically Speaking Day 3 - 11/09/08

[KillerTomato]

LYRICALLY SPEAKING Day 3

Today's game, which will close TUESDAY at NOON, is going to be split into two halves.

In the first half, you'll get a standard LS game (give me the title and artist, 1 point each). No underlying thread, no connection between songs, and no outside help, as usual. I'm sure you don't really care, but of these, #3 is my favorite.

In the second half, you're going to see 10 RECENT songs (from the last 10 years or so). However, since many of these will be RIDICULOUSLY difficult for some people, you are free to use any resource you like (your own music collection, phone your 18-year-old cousin, even google to your heart's content) EXCEPT peeking at other peoples' papers, please. BUT THEN, WITHOUT OUTSIDE SOURCES, you need to pair up the songs in Part II using a Tangredi, or system which you must determine for yourself. You'll only get 1 point for each artist/title combo, but then 1 point for each correct pair.

Some of you may wish to attack Part II without outside sources, and this is to be encouraged. So if you choose to go that way, preface your PART II answers with "I DIDN'T GOOGLE" and I'll give you 2 bonus points.

PART I

1. You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

2. I've willed, I've walked
I've read, I've talked
I know, I know, I've been here before

3. Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy

4. I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of though
To light your name

5. 'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet-talkin' ladies man
And you love your lovin'

6. Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always, I'm with you....

7. I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you around
So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing I can say

8. Tell me, do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for drivin'
And anyway I've got no place to go

9. And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me

10. So I'm a-lyin' here, just staring at the ceiling tiles
And I'm thinking about what to think about
Just listenin' and re-listenin' to "Smiley Smile"
And I'm wonderin' if this is some kind of creative drought


PART II

11. Honey, lookin' good from her head to her toe
Beauty overload, body outta control
She 24, she could be a model
So beautiful, all so natural

12. When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you
Are secrets and lies

13. You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lastin'

14. Lyrics have no dress code (yeah)
From KRS to Depeche Mode
Hit them so cool you cats cold
Had to jump off, it's about to jump off

15. Dolce & Gabbana
Fendi and NaDonna
Karan, they be sharin'
All their money got me wearin' fly

16. I heard that you were talking shit
And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up

17. Snowy night, fiends basin
"A Raisin in the Sun" was amazin'
The join on the dresser, a guage went off

18. A performance deserving of standing ovations
And who would have thought it'd be the two of us
So don't wake me if I'm dreaming
'Cause I'm in the mood; come on and give it up

19. He's not invisible anymore
With his father's 9 and a broken fuse
Since he walked through that classroom door
He's all over prime-time news

20. See, I've been watchin' you
And I like the way you move
So go 'head, girl, just do it
That ass-shakin' thing you do

3. Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces

4. I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of though
To light your name

5. 'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler

And you love your lovin'

Spoiler

Bob Dylan, I think. I'll guess the song is called Rambler and a Gambler because I don't know.

6. Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always, I'm with you....

7. I see all my dreams come tumbling down

There is only one thing I can say

Spoiler

8. Tell me, do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for drivin'
And anyway I've got no place to go

9. And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me

Spoiler

10. So I'm a-lyin' here, just staring at the ceiling tiles

And I'm wonderin' if this is some kind of creative drought

Spoiler

Brian Wilson by the Barenaked Ladies, later covered by Brian Wilson himself and also by me and my band!

PART II
I didn't have to google. The fact that I just know some of these off the top of my head makes me sad.

11. Honey, lookin' good from her head to her toe
Beauty overload, body outta control
She 24, she could be a model
So beautiful, all so natural

Spoiler

12. When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you
Are secrets and lies

14. Lyrics have no dress code (yeah)
From KRS to Depeche Mode
Hit them so cool you cats cold
Had to jump off, it's about to jump off

Spoiler

15. Dolce & Gabbana
Fendi and NaDonna
Karan, they be sharin'
All their money got me wearin' fly

Spoiler

Labels and Love, Fergie, for the SATC soundtrack.

16. I heard that you were talking shit
And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up

Spoiler

Hollaback Girl, of course! Gwen Stefani

17. Snowy night, fiends basin
"A Raisin in the Sun" was amazin'
The join on the dresser, a guage went off

Spoiler

Wyclef Jean. I don't know the title. But I'm pretty sure P.Diddy was in "A Raisin in the Sun" on Broadway.

18. A performance deserving of standing ovations
And who would have thought it'd be the two of us
So don't wake me if I'm dreaming
'Cause I'm in the mood; come on and give it up

Spoiler

Hella Good, Gwen Stefani. Ohh, I'm seeing the connection now.

19. He's not invisible anymore
With his father's 9 and a broken fuse
Since he walked through that classroom door
He's all over prime-time news

Spoiler

I know Kelly Rowland did it. Don't know the name.

20. See, I've been watchin' you
And I like the way you move
So go 'head, girl, just do it
That ass-shakin' thing you do

Spoiler

Rock Your Body, JT

Spoiler

Alright, here are the connections.
Will.I.Am and Fergie were in the Black Eyed Peas together.
Gwen Stefani was previously in No Doubt.
Justin Timberlake was previously in N*SYNC.
Kelly Rowland was in Destiny's Child with Beyoncé Knowles and Michelle Williams.
I didn't get the one that should have gone with Wyclef Jean, but I'm just going to guess and say it's one of his fellow Fugees members. I don't think it's Lauryn Hill, though.

Oh, and I haven't yet figured out how to make everything into a hidden spoiler, so that my post doesn't take up the whole page. If anyone could tell me, I'd appreciate it.

Boy it took me a long time to put "Always" out of my head. I'm filling this in after all the google ones. This is "Come Rain or Come Shine". I don't know who made it famous, but I have Ella's version so that's good enough for me.

7. I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you around
So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing I can say

That ass-shakin' thing you do

Spoiler

Rock Your Body - Justin Timberlake

Spoiler

Boy, this is easier with the Google. Looks to me like songs by solo artists and songs by the bands they used to be in.
That would mean that:
12 matches with 20
16 matches with 18
14 matches with 17
So that leaves 11 (Will.I.Am), 13 (Destiny's Child), 15 (Black-Eyed Peas) and 19 (Kelly Rowland). I've heard of the bands, but not the individuals, but I think Destiny's Child is all women, and I can see Kelly being a woman more so than I can see Will, so I'm going to go with:
13 matches up with 19
11 matches up with 15

OK, I googled every single one of the part II tunes. I have only HEARD 3 of these. No way I would get any of them without help. Not my type of music. However, I know the theme here. The pairs match up by Solo Artist and the group they came from.

11 and 15, 20 and 12, 19 and 13, 14 and 17, 16 and 18.

LYRICALLY SPEAKING Day 3

Only part I right now, because I just zipped through them with no need for reflection at all because of my giant reservoir of musical information.

PART I

1. You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

Spoiler

Burma Shave by Harry

2. I've willed, I've walked
I've read, I've talked
I know, I know, I've been here before

Spoiler

Aricept, Please by I Forgot

3. Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy

4. I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of though
To light your name

5. 'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet-talkin' ladies man
And you love your lovin'

6. Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always, I'm with you....

Spoiler

Get a Frickin' Job by Your Mother

7. I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you around
So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing I can say

Spoiler

I Got My Babybackbabybackbabybackbabybackbabybackbabyback Ribs by Chipped Tooth

8. Tell me, do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for drivin'
And anyway I've got no place to go

Spoiler

Whiskey Dick by Whiskey Dick

9. And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me

Spoiler

Unsnap Your Bra, Please by Fumblefingers

10. So I'm a-lyin' here, just staring at the ceiling tiles
And I'm thinking about what to think about
Just listenin' and re-listenin' to "Smiley Smile"
And I'm wonderin' if this is some kind of creative drought

Spoiler

Yes, idiot. It is. by STFU

PART II

11. Honey, lookin' good from her head to her toe
Beauty overload, body outta control
She 24, she could be a model
So beautiful, all so natural

12. When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you
Are secrets and lies

13. You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lastin'

14. Lyrics have no dress code (yeah)
From KRS to Depeche Mode
Hit them so cool you cats cold
Had to jump off, it's about to jump off

15. Dolce & Gabbana
Fendi and NaDonna
Karan, they be sharin'
All their money got me wearin' fly

16. I heard that you were talking shit
And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up

17. Snowy night, fiends basin
"A Raisin in the Sun" was amazin'
The join on the dresser, a guage went off

18. A performance deserving of standing ovations
And who would have thought it'd be the two of us
So don't wake me if I'm dreaming
'Cause I'm in the mood; come on and give it up

19. He's not invisible anymore
With his father's 9 and a broken fuse
Since he walked through that classroom door
He's all over prime-time news

20. See, I've been watchin' you
And I like the way you move
So go 'head, girl, just do it
That ass-shakin' thing you do

[Sir_Galahad]

[ghostjmf]

I did this whole flipping thing, & then got rejected

Today's game, which will close TUESDAY at NOON, is going to be split into two halves.

In the first half, you'll get a standard LS game (give me the title and artist, 1 point each). No underlying thread, no connection between songs, and no outside help, as usual. I'm sure you don't really care, but of these, #3 is my favorite.

In the second half, you're going to see 10 RECENT songs (from the last 10 years or so). However, since many of these will be RIDICULOUSLY difficult for some people, you are free to use any resource you like (your own music collection, phone your 18-year-old cousin, even google to your heart's content) EXCEPT peeking at other peoples' papers, please. BUT THEN, WITHOUT OUTSIDE SOURCES, you need to pair up the songs in Part II using a Tangredi, or system which you must determine for yourself. You'll only get 1 point for each artist/title combo, but then 1 point for each correct pair.

Some of you may wish to attack Part II without outside sources, and this is to be encouraged. So if you choose to go that way, preface your PART II answers with "I DIDN'T GOOGLE" and I'll give you 2 bonus points.

PART I

1. You knew just what I was there for

This whole thing depresses me. The lyrics I can't google for love or money, but this stuff is there...

[ghostjmf]

Spoiler

Oh yeah, I wanted to say that if song #1 of part #1 really has "heart" in it, then it links to song #17 of part #2.

At least I didn't get crashed out this time. Whatever.

[ghostjmf]

Oh shit I was supposed to pair up the songs in Part II

OK, I can do some of that, without even knowing or caring about the songs

Spoiler

There's a song by No Doubt, 18; Gwen Stefani, #16, was in No Doubt, but deserted

[Beebs52]

Oops. Forgot to include, DUH! Of course, I googled Part 2. I thought that would have been a given. The rest of you know musical words and things. And current music. I, not so much.
