Hi, it's LB, remember me? You probably forgot I was hosting the Lyrically Speaking contest since my last 6 games have been hosted by MM's. Well, I'm back for today's Theme Thursday, which will have a slight twist compared to the usual theme games. While 11 of the songs below fit very well into a certain theme, one of them most definitely does not. So in addition to bonus points for getting the theme, you have a chance for even more pointage by picking the oddball song (And you don't have to know the song or even the theme to guess! Just pick a number from 1-12 for all I care....)

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme, and 2 points for identifying which song doesn't belong in this game.....

1. They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can

2. Who is the man
that would risk his neck for his brother man?
_____
Can ya dig it?

3. But I've been traveling on a boat and a plane
In a car on a bike with a bus and a train
Traveling there, traveling here
Everywhere in every gear

4. Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
It will grow stronger every day

5. It ain't right with love to share when you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone as much as I depended on you

6. Why must I feel like that
Oh, why must I chase the cat

7. And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
You're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive -- not dead

8. Now once I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came and he soon departed
And you know he never showed his face again

9. This wouldn't be the first time
that things have gone astray
Now you've thrown it all away

10. You like to drive like Mario Andretti
I like it taking my time
But let me say wherever you are going
You know it suits me just fine

11. But I know what I like
I know I like dancing with you
And I know what you like
I know you like dancing with me oh yeah

12. You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Ooh there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love

Theme? You really should have run this on Tuesday, since all the artists share a last name with a President.

Note that I blanket WAGged George Clinton only because I couldn't think of a singer with the name Obama.

Let's see, I have my choice of 3, 7, 10, & 11. Maybe 6 but I might be right on that one. I couldn't decide so I asked my granddaughter to pick one of those 4 numbers. She picked 10. She'd better be right. Her Disney Trip is riding on it
