Lyrically Speaking - 2/3/21

[littlebeast13]

Theme Wednesday! Because you can have a theme game any day of the week! I'll bet most of you can get this one if you get enough songs, too... unless you go for the wrong theme.

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme...


1. Sail on, on a distant highway, yeah
I've got to keep on chasing a dream
I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say

2. Once upon a time
You dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime
In your prime, didn't you

3. Welcome to the big time
You`re bound to be a star
And even if you
Don`t go all the way
I know that you`ll go far

4. Don't it make you feel bad
When you're trying
To find your way home
And you don't know
Which way to go

5. Sock hop, soda pop
Basketball and auto shop
The only thing that got you off
Was breaking all the rules

6. Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
And I don`t know if
I`m ever coming home

7. Tell me, tell me, tell me
Come on, tell me the answer
Well, you may be a lover
But you ain't no dancer

8. She was tired cause
Her mind was a-draggin
I said get some sleep
And dream of rock and roll

9. Hold on to sixteen as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men

10. Just hit me with the truth,
Now, girl you're more than welcome to.
So give me one good reason,
Baby come on

11. Nowhere is there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for its sound
In places, small faces unbound

12. Time goes slowly but carries on
And now the best years
Have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize

Ugh! This has been driving me fricking crazy all day, so I'm just answering and getting it over with. Hopefully other people have figured it out so I can just slap my forehead and be done with it! Otherwise, I'll sit bolt up in bed at 3:37 am screaming "Perth Amboy"!

Threw the bums a dime??? As much as I love Dylan and as many damned times as I've heard this song and I always swore it was "did the bump and grind". I will very embarrassed if this has been brought up in a previous game and I missed it. Or worse, totally blocked it out of my mind and continued with the bump and grind....ha!

Theme?

Okay, so the title in the lyrics thing didn't go too far with the Led Zep and the Helter Skelter, etc. Then we have Byrds, Monkees, Beatles, Eagles, Cougar ... uh, and Bob Dylan. Damn! Okay, so Dylan wrote a Byrds song, and the Monkees were a parody of the Beatles... see my pain?? So I guess my official answer is

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey, at least I showed my work!

Theme?

American Pie by Don McLean, on the anniversary of The Day the Music Died!

It's funny, the one other theme I did that I thought would be easy that nobody figured out was the finale for a year I can't recall right now... but it was 46 songs that kinda sung out "Bohemian Rhapsody" in order. I guess I'm just a really date oriented person who will see a certain date on a calendar (or the computer when I log in), and instantly think of something associated with it. Seeing 2/3 will always make me think the plane crash and this song. I know, some people can't even remember the birthdays of their family members!

Image Bonus: If you know the theme, you know what to do...

Since mrkelley was the only one to get the theme, and thus submitted the only valid image.... he wins the IBB by default! Congrats on making some hay over everyone today!
