It was really nice of LB to allow me to host a Lyrically Speaking game for him, especially considering the fact that I'm actually one of Rexer's Merry Men! You see, the other day me and a couple other MM's were shooting the bull down at the Local 1326 Hall, and we were wondering why only LB's Merry Men seemed to get to host the Bored games. It didn't seem fair that just because our masters were too busy or lazy to host Bored games of their own that we should have to sit on the sidelines while LB's alter egos got all the fame, fortune and chicks. I mean, what does Billy Mays and Obscenely Rich Bastard have that I don't have? So I paid a little visit to LB to find out what the deal was. I told him that he should really allow me to host one of his LS games for him, and if he didn't, I'd use my horns to skewer his family jewels. He was surprisingly accomodating and said he'd be glad to give me a hosting gig! But then he asked to see the game I had written for him. Um...... I thought all I had to do was sit there and look pretty while I read off a carefully written and witty introduction for a game someone else wrote. Nobody said there was any real work involved in this hosting business! I turned around and slowly slunk away while my eyes started getting misty. LB must've taken pity on me because he called me back and told me I could stand in for him on one of his games. Oh boy, what a nice guy! Heck, LB was even kind enough to invite me with him to Ponderosa for lunch tomorrow! I can't wait!
So I couldn't get one of the primo Wacky Wednesday slots, but LB said all I had to do was introduce this Theme Thursday game for him. He says today's game is based on a theme he first used back in the October 2002 LS which nobody was able to crack then, so he's going to try it again this time under a different set of circumstances.
This game will not give you wings, but it will give you 1 point for each correct title, 1 point for each correct artist, and 3 points for identifying the theme.....
1. But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
2. I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
3. Went to a party the other night
All the ladies were treating me right
Moving my feet to the disco beat
How in the world could I keep my seat
4. God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful
They land at six o'clock and there we are, the dutiful
Eating from TV trays, tuned into to Happy Days
Waiting for World War III while Jesus slaves
5. When explanations make no sense
When ev'ry answers wrong
You're fighting with lost confidence
All expectations gone
6. Well you know you can't stop it
When they start to play
You gotta get out the way
7. I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow
8. I'm fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
9. Look at our life now tattered and torn
Fussing and fighting delighting with tears
And we cry until dawn
10. I try to shut eyes, but I can't get here outta my sight.
I know I'm gonna know her, but I gotta get over my fright.
We'll, I'm just gonna walk up to her.
I'm gonna talk to her tonight.
11. Well now way back in the Bible
Temptations always come along
There's always somebody tempting
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong
12. Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
13. Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengence is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
14. But when I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin',
Got my KISS records out
