Who else would LB call on to host his Wacky Wednesday game on National Squirrel Appreciation Day but his most popular Merry Man of all time..... ME!!!! I am so glad that the bigwigs in Washington threw all those lavish pre-SAD parties in my honor yesterday... I can't wait to show off my shiny NSAS award to the new Prez....
Unfortunately, I ain't very good at using the internet for anything other than downloading squirrel porn and posting on the Bored, so I was unable to find any lyrics to post for the songs I included in today's game. But fear not, everyone, if there is one thing this squirrel can do, it's draw! So I drew a pretty picture that represents a line or two of the lyrics from 12 different songs. Your job is to figure out the actual lyric from my drawing, and of course to provide the normal LS answer of the song's title and artist.... musical artist, that is.... I don't like to be associated with some of those guitar wielding druggies. While LB will be somewhat generous on grading the lyrics you provide, they MUST include all of the basic elements from the real lyrics that are included in the picture. All of pictures below are depicting just one or two lines of a song's lyrics, but if it is a two liner, you must give both to get credit.....
Please note that none of the pictures below are my usual masterpieces. I only made them good enough so that you could figure out what the hell was going on in each of them, and that isn't easy to do with just a mouse. Hopefully everyone will be able to play today's game from a computer that will allow them to view Photobucket images. If not, let LB know and he'll see what he can do. And by some chance if you can't see the images on the Bored, then try this link to the album I am keeping them in...
Good luck, and have a happy National Squirrel Appreciation Day! Ooh, and it's even my 666th post on the Bored!!!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and 1 point for the lyrics each picture represents....

This is hard, because you can't work off the pictures while answering! I had to actually *gasp* WRITE THINGS DOWN, so pardon the vagueness. I mean, more than usual...

2: You flew your (something something--could be women) up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun, You're So Vain, Carly Simon
3: I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac, Boys of Summer, Don Henley
4: There's a little black spot on the sun today. It's the same old thing as yesterday. King of Pain, Sting/Police (can't remember)
5: Something like; Paint myself red and black and blue and gray, Mr. Jones, Counting Crows
6: I'm hearing; Teacher tries to tell me that one and one makes three, but can't get a song out of it
7: Patty gave birth to a 10 lb baby boy, Young hearts Beat Free, Rod Stewart
8: It's the pardon that comes a minute too late? Something like that. Ironic, Alanis Morissette
9: Nothin.
10: Vaguely familiar sentences drift across my mind
11:We haven't had that spirit here since 1969, Hotel California (Hate this song but love the guitar work), The Eagles
12: Something like; Lennon read a book on Marx, American Pie, Don Maclean
Most excellent, ES! This should be a mandatory game for all BBs!
Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day to you, sir.

Wow! One of my favorite songs of the 80s and I whiffed on it too! I couldn't get Robin Hood out of my mind and I couldn't think of lyrics with his name, so I went with the gag. So now that I've looked back at other's answers and seen the ones I missed, I'm bummed that I couldn't think of the Sheryl Crow lyric or the Rod Stewart lyric. The others I probably would have missed anyway.

And I just figured out which song goes with the lyrics I got:
Cult of Personality! My son put it in my iTunes and I knew the words, but couldn't remember from where. I love this kind of puzzle--I'm more visual, I guess...

Carly Simon – You’re So Vain
3
I saw a dead head sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said don’t look back
Don Henley – Boys of Summer
4
There’s a little black spot on the sun today
It’s the same old thing as yesterday
Police – King of Pain
6
I put one and one together
And you know that’s not an even sum
Robert Cray – Smoking Gun (I know that’s wrong and I don’t even think the lyric is right, but what the hey)
7
Patty gave birth to a
10 pound baby boy
Rod Stewart – Young Turks
10
I like a good beer buzz
Early in the morning

So I called up the captain
Please bring me my wine

Since 1969
Eagles – Hotel California

1. A song involving Rocky Racoon, Robin Hood, & a Tiger. Huh?
Rocky Racoon/The Beatles.
2. Curious George Goes to Canada
3. Who Shot The Blago/The Illinois Crooklets
4. Here Comes The Sun/The Beatles (lyrics: Here Comes The Sun etc!)
5. Paint It Black/The Rolling Stones. Except the paint on that brush is red. Paint It Red?
lyrics: I see a red door & I want to paint it black; or, in bizarro universe, I see a black door & I want to paint it red
6. Wonderful World/Sam Cooke "don't know much about history etc". Mentions trigonometry too, which the drawing is clearly not about, but also says "I don't claim to be an A student", which character in drawing clearly is not.
7. Having My Baby/Paul Anka (lyrics: Is a wonderful way of telling the world that you love me, even though I wrote this crap song, & am a fool 'cause the baby isn't even the same species as me)
8. That's The Night That The Lights Went Out In Georgia/Vicki Lawrence (lyrics say "that's the night that they hung an innocent man, not "electrocuted an innocent man", but, hey, maybe the wires are influenced differently in Vicki's Georgia
9. Time To Kiss/Skunk & Cat
10. Car Wash/The Group that did Car Wash
11. Soon To Go Under Liquor Store/The Drunk Shoppers
12. Give Peace A Chance/The Beatles; also could be Imagine/John Lennon
lyrics: All we are saying, is give peace a chance
or Imagine there's no heaven etc
I wish I had more time to work on this but my car is rapidly being enclosed in an ice cube as we speak, & I have to go free it.

Dear ES --
I would like to request double JJC points for #10 since so few other people got it, and it's usually the other way around. I usually get only the ones that everybody else gets.
No scritches, just my everlasting gratitude, which may not be turned in for scritches.
Thank you.

1. We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel
Davy Crockett, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland (I didn't get this one until I actually said the names out loud trying to get a stream of consciousness going. If you hadn't put them in the order it's sung, I probably wouldn't have gotten it. Ha!)
2. You're So Vain - Carly Simon
You flew your Lear Jet into Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun. (And all this time Warren Beatty has been taking the credit when this song was really about ORB! Does Kiki know?)
3. Boys of Summer - Don Henley
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
4. King of Pain - The Police
There's a little black spot on the sun today
The same as it was yesterday
5. I'm trippin, Joe! - Blue Boy and the Beatnik
I paint myself black, blue, red and grey
6. Cult of Personality - Living Colour
They tell you one and one makes three in the Cult of Personality (This made the recent 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs. It had been forever since I'd seen that video and I forgot how well Vernon What's His Face worked that singlet.)
7. Young Turks - Rod Stewart
Patty gave birth to a ten pound baby boy
8. Advice to a Rookie - Fanny and the Executioners
There is nothing you can't fix
As long as you're not the one pulling the switch
9. Stealing Time - The Kissing Bandit
Is that a watch in your pocket
Or are you just happy to see me?
10. All I Wanna Do - Sheryl Crow
Drinking beer at noon on a Tuesday
In the bar across the street from the car wash (that's as close as I can come, she rambles a lot)
11. Hotel California - The Eagles (until I came to this one I had the Eagles doing Boys of Summer!)
He said 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969' (I know this has to be the right song, but what's the significance of the SDG Liquor Store?)
As I was previewing this, they had a Kennedy update on tv and this one hit me. Ha!
12. American Pie - Don McLean (and we were just talking about Don McLean the other night!)
While Lennon read a book on Marx
