Lyrically Speaking Day 5 Answers and Points
Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2008 4:54 pm
Is niiiiiiice how you all did.
1. Lord, I can't believe what I see
How could you be alone?
When you could sit right here beside me, girl
And make yourself at home
I'VE BEEN TO MEMPHIS - LYLE LOVETT
2. I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon
PLEASE COME TO BOSTON - DAVE (NOT KENNY!) LOGGINS, DAVID ALLAN COE, GLEN CAMPBELL, and JOAN BAEZ were accepted
3. She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX - GLEN CAMPBELL
4. On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
CHICAGO - FRANK SINATRA (I was going to accept Fanny's advice and accept no substitutes, but that would be mean of me. So I also took "old show tune" and Rufus W. However, I don't believe Liza ever did it, at least I couldn't find anything on that.)
5. We held a concert out in Brooklyn
To watch the Island bridges blow
They turned our power down
And drove us underground
But we went right on with the show
MIAMI 2017 (I'VE SEEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT ON BROADWAY) - BILLY JOEL I'm afraid you HAD to have the MIAMI in there somewhere, since "Broadway" doesn't fit the implied theme.
8. At the Hotel Flamingo, wearing black-market shoes
This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon
No one wants to be lonely, no one wants to sing the blues
KEY WEST INTERMEZZO (I SAW YOU FIRST) - JOHN MELLENCAMP (I'm pretty sure this was well past the "Cougar" stage, but I wouldn't take points away for that!)
9. Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in....
DETROIT ROCK CITY - KISS (or the MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES)
10. City of Brotherly Love
Place I call home
Don't turn your back on me
I don't want to be alone
Love lasts forever
PHILADELPHIA - NEIL YOUNG (This is NOT "Streets of Philadelphia" by Springsteen, but both were in the movie. Yes, I did this on purpose.)
11. All across the nation, such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion
People in motion
SAN FRANCISCO (BE SURE TO WEAR SOME FLOWERS) - SCOTT MACKENZIE Relax, T_Bone and ghostjmf, I gave you both retroactive credit, since I'm a generally nice guy. But don't let it happen again!
12. l got some records from World War II
I play 'em just like me granddad do
He was a rocker and I am too
CLEVELAND ROCKS - IAN HUNTER or PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES I gave half credit to Ducky for "lipsynched[Drew Carey]" but no credit for just "Drew Carey" (sorry!), cuz I'm just not a nice guy.
Humor points to Fanny, T_Bone, and minty. Bonus points to Fanny and Carmelo, for noticing the "Day 6" thingie. You guys came THIS CLOSE to losing a point each for NOT noticing that there was no Q6 or Q7, but Fishie saved your butts by intimating that I was missing these with his "(!)" on Q8. So he gets a point, too.
