It's Match Game Monday, and for today I have brought back one of my classic games. This MGM game appeared in the December 2004 LS, the only difference is I changed a couple of the songs and of course the order the songs appear in. I seem to recall only a couple people were able to figure out the theme without looking up all the songs the first time around, so let's see how it goes this time.

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and 1 point for each correct match....

1. If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

2. Dream baby dream
Of all that's come and going
And you will find out in the end
There really is,
There really is no difference

3. One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it

4. Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know....oh...

5. Tell me now it's untrue
What did her daddy do?
He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane

6. One that won't make me nervous, wonderin' what to do.
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you, when I'm alone with you

7. I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city

8. Well another man might have been angry,
And another man might have been hurt,
But another man never would have let her go...
I stashed the bill in my shirt.

9. With the wind in your hair of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky

10. I told you twice
I was only trying to be nice
Only trying to be nice

11. It didn't take them long to try him, in their court of law,
He was guilty then of thinking, a crime much worse than all,
They sentenced him to die, so his seed of thought can't spread,
And infect the little children, that's what the law had said.

12. Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury

Spoiler

1. Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce
2. New Sensation - INXS
3. Nope
4. Harden My Heart - Quarterflash
5. Janie's Got A Gun - Aerosmith
6. I Want A New Drug - Huey Lewis and the News
7. Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
8. Taxi - Harry Chapin
9. Jet - Paul McCartney and Wings
10. I Didn't Mean To Turn You On - Robert Palmer. I loved the story behind why Robert Palmer decided to cover this song. He had heard it on once (sung by Cherelle) and thought that it was very trite and predictable. But then he imagined how it would sound if it were sung by a man, and all of the predictableness of it changed. Great song from an album (Riptide) that I actually won via a radio contest.
11. Nope
12. Mercy Mercy Me - Marvin Gaye

Took me a while, but I think I got it!
1-9 Croce died in a plane (jet?) crash
7-8 Chapin died in a (fast, maybe) car
4-10 Palmer died of a heart attack
5-12 - Gaye died via a gun
2-3 Hutchence died by hanging himself. SWAG that #3 has something to do with hanging.
3-6 Somebody must have O.D'd.

Okay, I just will match up a bunch of random numbers in hopes of accidentally hitting on a pair:

You didn't get the theme the first time I used this game either, though you unknowingly hinted at the theme when you answered #2 (Yes, I STILL remember details like that 3 years later....

)

Just saw that I originally ran this game on 12/20/04, so it was your last pre-Erin foray into my LS that month....

You wasted a perfectly good opportunity to work in the fabulous Rock and Roll Suicide here. At least I think that was the official verdict.

12. Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas

7. I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman

8. Well another man might have been angry,
And another man might have been hurt,
But another man never would have let her go...
I stashed the bill in my shirt.
Taxi - Harry Chapin

9. With the wind in your hair of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky
Jet - McCartney & Wings (One of three songs I changed this go around. Last time I used "Jet Airliner", but that was already used in Kitty Sandwich's game)

10. I told you twice
I was only trying to be nice
Only trying to be nice
I Didn't Mean To Turn You On - Robert Palmer (My favorite of his... and probably his least remembered hit....)

11. It didn't take them long to try him, in their court of law,
He was guilty then of thinking, a crime much worse than all,
They sentenced him to die, so his seed of thought can't spread,
And infect the little children, that's what the law had said.
Two Hangmen - Mason Proffit (Must be a local fave.... and Shutout #7 on the year. We may end up with a game's worth of shutouts before my run's over yet! BTW, I used "Hangin' Tough" in the original game. Which would you have rather had, a shutout or NKOTB?)

12. Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology Song - Marvin Gaye

The theme was artists who have died, and their method of expiration....

1-9 - Jim Croce died in a plane crash

2-11 - INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence hanged himself (Nelly called me out last time for saying he had hung himself

)

3-6 - Janis Joplin died of a drug overdose

4-10 - Robert Palmer died of a heart attack

5-12 - Marvin Gaye was shot, by his own father!

7-8 - Harry Chapin was killed in a car crash

Mason Proffit was the only thing keeping 3 players from sporting perfect scores in this game!
