Lyrically Speaking Day 9 - 11/22/08

#1 Post by KillerTomato » Fri Nov 21, 2008 9:53 pm

So, I'm posting this early, since I'm not sure exactly when I'll wake up tomorrow morning. I have a feeling I'll be sleeping rather late.

Today's quiz is standard stuff. One point each for artist and title, and please try to use the most obvious artist if it's been covered. I won't dock for it, but it makes scoring easier. The game will remain open until Monday at noon EST. And in case you care, #5 is on my list of favorite songs (at least the version sung by the songwriter, hinthint), and #14 is one of the most annoying ever written.

1. Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine?

2. I went down Virginia seekin' shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow
Five year plans and new deals
Wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder...

3. Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
Oh, when will they ever learn?

4. There's a calm surrender to the rush of the day
When the heat of the rolling world can be turned away

5. Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

6. His heart's beating like a drum
'Cause at last he's got this girl home
Relax, baby, now we are alone

7. You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

8. I've studied your cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines
Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh

9. Up and down the puppy's hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere ('cause of original sin)
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after ('cause of original sin)

10. Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, your gypsy heart
Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, and don't look back
Come on now, love, don't you look back!

11. There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Ooh, I lose control, can't seem to get enough

12. You told me you didn't love him
And you were gonna say goodbye
But if you really didn't mean it,
Why did you have to lie?

13. I thought I knew her well, I really couldn't tell
That she had another lover on her mind
You see, it felt so right when she held me tight
How could I be so blind?

14. Oh, I don't know why you're not there
I give you my love, but you don't care
So what is right and what is wrong
Gimme a sign

15. You try to avoid her, fate is in your hands
She's smiling, an invitation to the dance
Her heart is on the street, tu corazon es suyo
Now you're falling at her feet
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.
-- Robert G. Ingersoll

Can You Feel the Love Tonight - Elton John

Probably my favourite Disney movie of all time (definitely top 5) and the music is a huge part of it.


5. Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - Carole King

Going from your hint, I'm assuming Super Duper Bonus points for CK instead of the Shirelles? Ha!

What's Going On - Cyndi Lauper

Yeah, I know, easy scoring, but her version is so much better than Marvin Gaye's. I think I end up in an argument every time this shows up in an LS. Ha!

13. I thought I knew her well, I really couldn't tell
That she had another lover on her mind
You see, it felt so right when she held me tight

Who's Cheating Who - Charly McClain

Good lord, you had to go into the Wayback Country Machine for this one, didn't you? Although maybe there's been a remake, since the genders are different in your lyrics.

14. Oh, I don't know why you're not there
I give you my love, but you don't care
So what is right and what is wrong
Gimme a sign

What is Love - Haddaway

Annoying? Dude! Nobody could be more annoying than Charly McClain! I was actually thinking about posting something about this song a few days ago. Since they use it for the Pepsi Max commercial now, I end up singing it for hours afterward (if only in my head) and was going to ask if anybody but me knew more than the first four lines. Apparently so. Ha!

So, I'm posting this early, since I'm not sure exactly when I'll wake up tomorrow morning. I have a feeling I'll be sleeping rather late.

Today's quiz is standard stuff. One point each for artist and title, and please try to use the most obvious artist if it's been covered. I won't dock for it, but it makes scoring easier. The game will remain open until Monday at noon EST. And in case you care, #5 is on my list of favorite songs (at least the version sung by the songwriter, hinthint), and #14 is one of the most annoying ever written.

1. Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine?

2. I went down Virginia seekin' shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow
Five year plans and new deals
Wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder...
Spoiler
Who Will Stop The Rain/Creedence Clearwater Revival
3. Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Spoiler
Where Have All The Flowers Gone/Peter Paul & Mary; Pete Seeger, who wrote the last verse of the version PP&M do; many many others
4. There's a calm surrender to the rush of the day
When the heat of the rolling world can be turned away

5. Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?
Spoiler
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/The Shirelles; also Carole King, who wrote the tune; then-husband Gerry Goffen (sp?) wrote the words
6. His heart's beating like a drum
'Cause at last he's got this girl home
Relax, baby, now we are alone
Spoiler
All Right Now/The Rolling Stones
7. You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

8. I've studied your cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines
Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh

9. Up and down the puppy's hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere ('cause of original sin)
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after ('cause of original sin)

10. Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, your gypsy heart
Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, and don't look back
Come on now, love, don't you look back!

11. There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Ooh, I lose control, can't seem to get enough
