It was nice of LB to allow me to host today's Retro Monday game in honor of our great victory in the Super Bowl last night, which I think I actually participated in.... though I didn't get all the honor and glory deserving of a Baby Boy. Oh well, it's all good!
What's more appropriate on this Groundhog Day than bringing back one of LB's classic LS games for Retro Monday and playing everyone's favorite game: Does DaveSenior Really Remember This One Or Not? Bill Murray would be proud. Today we bring back another gem from the December 2004 game, and one which contains a staple of my older LS games that LB did away with in last year's contest..... the Theme Song. Today's game has a bonus song at the end which should help you to get the theme of this game....
Today's Retro Monday game was originally posted on Thursday December 30, 2004....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and 3 points for the theme....
1. All I made was one mistake
How much more will I have to pay
Why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget about the past
2. Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on Wall Street
in the morning
3. take it to the bridge, throw it overboard
see if it can swim, back up to the shore.
no ones in the house, all the lights are on
and the blinds are down.
4. Hi guys, by the way, are you aware you're being illegal
It's making your savior behavior look evil
'scuse my timing but say,
how d'you fit in with this flim, flam and judy
5. How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Tryin not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kinda guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean? Well, you soon will
6. Wake up and I see that my sista was already dressed
She said I'm a run and go get in my stanze watch
And make sure no one snatches my check
Thinkin' that tha mailman sort thru tha mail
And put it up inna me pockets
7. Some dreams are in the night time
And some seem like yesterday
But leaves turn brown and fade
Ships sail away
You long to say a thousand words
8. Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
9. Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock'n'roll
I move like a cat, charge like a ram
Sting like a bee, babe I wanna be your man
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me, yeah
10. Some say that we are players
Some say that we are pawns
But we've been making money
Since the day that we were born
got to slow down (slow down)
Before we fall down
Theme Song:
Well, if friends with their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
Then I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
Theme?
