Lyrically Speaking - 1/11/23

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...

1. Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching you

2. She was gonna be my wife
And I was gonna be her man
But she let another guy come between us
And it shattered our plans

3. I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
I was worrying 'bout the way the things might've been

4. Well, it was all of sixty-five years ago
When the world was the street where she lived
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea

5. I like your pin shot
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you

6. Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

7. When I feel cold, you warm me
And when I feel I can't go on, you come and hold me
It's you and me forever

8. You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic disappearing?

9. Baby, it's no good
We're just asking for trouble
I can touch you
But I don't know how to love you

10. Babe, tomorrow's so far away
There's something I just have to say
I don't think I could hide what I'm feelin' inside
Another day, knowin' I love you

11. She looked me deep in the eyes
She touchin' me so to start
She says there's no turnin' back"
She trapped me in her heart

12. Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry
Thought I'd stop and have myself a brew

But she let another guy come between us
And it shattered our plans

When the world was the street where she lived
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea

Veronica -- Elvis Costello (I was gonna Krox a song by him. Still may)

5. I like your pin shot

9. Baby, it's no good
We're just asking for trouble
I can touch you
But I don't know how to love you

12. Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry

1. Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching you
Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond (Or "Goodbye Channel Nine" to those of us who attended the 2014 OKC Gridiron show....)

2. She was gonna be my wife
And I was gonna be her man
But she let another guy come between us
And it shattered our plans
Help Me Phonda - Beach Boys

3. I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
I was worrying 'bout the way the things might've been
Proud Mary - Ike & Tina or CCR

4. Well, it was all of sixty-five years ago
When the world was the street where she lived
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea
Veronica - Elvis Costello

5. I like your pin shot
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you
Peg - Steely Dan (I use one of Fanny's favourite lyrics, and where is she?)

6. Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
Eleanor Rigby - Beatles

7. When I feel cold, you warm me
And when I feel I can't go on, you come and hold me
It's you and me forever
Sara Smile - Hall & Oates

8. You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic disappearing?
Carrie Anne - Hollies (Any excuse to drag this one out for someone special...)

9. Baby, it's no good
We're just asking for trouble
I can touch you
But I don't know how to love you
Ah! Leah! - Donnie Iris (Just who everyone wanted to see shirtless on MTV back in the day....)

10. Babe, tomorrow's so far away
There's something I just have to say
I don't think I could hide what I'm feelin' inside
Another day, knowin' I love you
Amanda - Boston (And here I thought they were this great new band when they released this in 1986....)

11. She looked me deep in the eyes
She touchin' me so to start
She says there's no turnin' back"
She trapped me in her heart
Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson

12. Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry
Thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash


Image Bonus: This one's for the girls....

This was tough since there was no real homerun in the bunch, but I'm gonna give this IBB to jarnon. If nothing else, it amuses me that nobody informed Miss 13 (Yay 13!) that it was photo day....

Thanks, Meister! When in doubt, go on-topic.

There's also a hidden tie-in to the Spare thread. Briefcase #24 is the Duchess of Sussex.

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...

1. Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond

If I were cheesy, I'd add the BOM BOM BOM, but I'm not, so I won't...

2. She was gonna be my wife
And I was gonna be her man
But she let another guy come between us
And it shattered our plans

That Bitch Trudy Up and Left - Lonesome, On'ry and Mean

3. I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
I was worrying 'bout the way the things might've been

Proud Mary - CCR

Among other, less notables that mispronounce toinin and boining

4. Well, it was all of sixty-five years ago
When the world was the street where she lived
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea

Veronica - Elvis Costello

And there goes my Alice krox...

5. I like your pin shot
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you

Peg - Steely Dan

One of the probably only two SD songs I will ever recognize. Is Rikki male or female? Or is is more of a Lola situation>

6. Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

Eleanor Rigby - Beatles

Are the Beatles like the Eagles or do they have a definitive article?

7. When I feel cold, you warm me
And when I feel I can't go on, you come and hold me
It's you and me forever

Sara Smile - Hall & Oates

I think this led to an increase in name popularity. There was only one girl in my school at the time named Sarah

8. You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic disappearing?

Kerry Ann - Definite Article Hollies

9. Baby, it's no good
We're just asking for trouble
I can touch you
But I don't know how to love you

Help Me Rhonda - Beach Boys

10. Babe, tomorrow's so far away
There's something I just have to say
I don't think I could hide what I'm feelin' inside
Another day, knowin' I love you

Amanda - Boston

11. She looked me deep in the eyes
She touchin' me so to start
She says there's no turnin' back"
She trapped me in her heart

Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson

12. Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry
Thought I'd stop and have myself a brew

A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash

I was going to put Shel Silverstein, as he's up there with Hoyt Axton as one of my favourite songwriters, but I'm not sure that he ever recorded this,,

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that has a female name in the title.

Fanny (Be Tender with My Love) - Bee Gees

I know you hate parentheticals, but it had to be done, because....

I swear when I started my post, this hadn't been closed yet! Damn my extraneous meanderings and haven't to go refuel my coffee cup....

Also, I was going to answer this well ahead of time yesterday afternoon, but I went to get it my image and started reading old posts. How do I not even remember that I hosted a Timeline once?? If everybody is as senile as I am, I could run the same thing again and nobody would even know...

JJC Points:


Weasel gets 2 JJC points for reminding me of a really bad morning radio show moment I heard where the female half of the team was going on and on about how her fiance had kidney stones and in "typical man-fashion" was acting like he was dying. Despite the male host's awkward skepticism and numerous women calling in the show to confirm that kidney stone pain was worse than their labor pains, she maintained her guy was being a sissy. I hope he dumped her ass along with the stones....

ear gets 2 JJC points for BOM BOM BOM and for Mona smile...

Krox gets 2 JJC points for weird celebrity crushes and for three, yes THREE images in a row I've had to Google now! (My Dumbass tagline fits me to a tee)

Panic gets 3 JJC points for "working" men...

Beebs gets 3 JJC points for kawaii anime girl (Is this the first time you've even played the Image Bonus?)...

melly gets 2 JJC points because Eddie Albert looks even more out of place as a baseball player than he did as a Columbo murderer...

jarnon gets 2 JJC points for a good deal of women (see what I did there?)....

BiT gets 2 JJC points for preferring Brown M&M over her saucier green counterpart....

Sprots gets 2 JJC points for being unfashionably late and for the intentionally misleading title...

mrk gets 3 JJC points for another night at Mecca (and it was probably April)....

Vandal gets 2 JJC points because I was completely unfamiliar with the term nonbinary before looking up his image (Now I guess I have to run a third game in this series)....

Esto gets 3 JJC points for a JFF blue dress...

Marley (YAY!) gets 2 JJC points to help keep him out of the basement...


Points:

Weasel 23+2
mikeh 12
ear 17+2
frank 25
Krox 21+2
Panic 31+3
Beebs 9+3
melly 27+2
jarnon 13+2+5
BiT 19+2
Sprots 21+2
mrk 29+3
Vandal 17+2
Hottie 16
Esto 30+3
Marley 5+2
Earl 29 (Close enough to accept for regular points, but no JJC points for being after the answers.... which is too bad since it was supermax worthy)
