Lyrically Speaking - 1/28/21
I'm not the only one who asks people to provide songs to fit a certain prompt. It's a popular game in the blogosphere as well. This game was inspired by a somewhat specific theme I saw about a month ago that one blogger complained had hardly any songs which fit it at all. I challenged myself, using both titles and artists, to come up with 12 songs that each contained a unique element of the theme. A few of these may be stretches for obvious reasons, and for one song you'll need a certain artist to know how it fits (though I'd never count it against you if you chose a non-fitting one). But, mission accomplished! And remember, unlike yesterday's simple game, this theme is more specific, and is one I guarantee you neither I, nor any other LS-Meister has ever used.
And before I forget...... GET THOSE FRIDAY REQUESTS IN TODAY! I still only have 8 submissions!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme....
1. Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
2. I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies 'll be blue
For all my life
3. Well, my name`s
John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy
And his daddy before
4. I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
5. Friends say it's fine, my friends say it's good
Ev'rybody says it's just like Rock and Roll
6. If I listen close, I can hear
Them singers, oh oh oh
Voices in your body
Coming through on the radio
7. That my love was an addiction
When we cling, our love is strong
When you go, you're gone forever
You string along, you string along
8. I know your type
(Your type)
Boy, you're dangerous
Yeah, you're that guy
(That guy)
I'd be stupid to trust
But just one night couldn't be so wrong
You make me wanna lose control
9. Well, I saw my baby walking
With another man today
Well, I saw my baby walking
With another man today
Now, when I asked her what's the matter
This is what I heard her say
10. He picks up a bus
And he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings
Toward the center of town
11. That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars
You fell asleep, I stayed awake and watched the passing cars
12. The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees

This is what I heard her say

10. He picks up a bus
And he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings
Toward the center of town
GODZILLA?

Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few

Them singers, oh oh oh
Voices in your body
Coming through on the radio

I challenged myself, using both titles and artists, to come up with 12 songs that each contained a unique element of the theme. A few of these may be stretches for obvious reasons, and for one song you'll need a certain artist to know how it fits (though I'd never count it against you if you chose a non-fitting one). But, mission accomplished! And remember, unlike yesterday's simple game, this theme is more specific, and is one I guarantee you neither I, nor any other LS-Meister has ever used.
And before I forget...... GET THOSE FRIDAY REQUESTS IN TODAY! I still only have 8 submissions!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme....
1. Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
Crocodile Rock, Elton John
2. I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies 'll be blue
For all my life
Happy Together, Turtles
3. Well, my name`s
John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy
And his daddy before
Dangit. Whenever I get the first two, I think, "This game's easy!" I am always very soon disabused.
4. I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Disabused. I should write a song with that title. Maybe I could get that one.
5. Friends say it's fine, my friends say it's good
Ev'rybody says it's just like Rock and Roll
6. If I listen close, I can hear
Them singers, oh oh oh
Voices in your body
Coming through on the radio
7. That my love was an addiction
When we cling, our love is strong
When you go, you're gone forever
You string along, you string along
Karma Chameleon, Culture Club
8. I know your type
(Your type)
Boy, you're dangerous
Yeah, you're that guy
(That guy)
I'd be stupid to trust
But just one night couldn't be so wrong
You make me wanna lose control
9. Well, I saw my baby walking

10. He picks up a bus

As he wades through the buildings

Godzilla. Crocodiles, turtles, chameleons, and Godzilla. Reptiles!
11. That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars
You fell asleep, I stayed awake and watched the passing cars
12. The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
Theme? Reptiles
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that fits the theme of today's game.
Celebration of the Lizard: Not to Touch the Earth. The Doors.
Image Bonus: If you know the theme, show me a fitting image. More prescience points, I'm sure there's a lizard somewhere in that photo of the car wreck I used the other day.

Union of the Snake - FECB aka Duran Duran
This has got to be in here someplace and this looks like a likely spot...

Walk the Dinosaur - Don Was
12. The best things in life are free

Money - Beatles
Assuming this is your have to be a certain artist, if it's as simple as reptiles...
Theme?
This can't just be reptiles, since dragons and Godzilla don't even exist. And that also shoots down any kingdom, taxonomy kind of stuff. It also rules out any sort of ordering, like oldest, biggest, etc.
So, even I can't overthink this one, even though you stated specificity.
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that fits the theme of today's game.
Rattlesnake Shake - Aerosmith
You had at least one snake, more if my FECB guess is right, so I think I'm safe with this one.
Image Bonus: If you know the theme, show me a fitting image.
FFF: This is from the Killer tour. Killer is the ONE album my aunt wouldn't let me cousin have because it had a song called Dead Babies. Goat's Head Soup? Sure. Two Virgins? Why not? But somehow this is where she drew the line. So what did my cousin do? Like all of us grandkids, she did an end around and asked my grandma for it for Christmas....ha!
