Well, after two straight low scoring games in a row, maybe today will be more of a point bonanza, as there are lots of points to be had in this game. it is not only Theme Thursday, but it is a matching game as well! You will get the usual bonus points for indentifying the theme, but also will get bonus points if you can successfully match up the following 15 songs into 5 triplets based on the theme of today's puzzle.... which I promise you is not music heard on Mecca Radio. As usual, you are allowed to guess at the triplets even for those songs you can't get correct....
One other note just to be clear: the theme I am looking for in today's game relates to how the songs all match up into their triplets, and does not specifically refer to the individual songs themselves.... just in case anyone were to be confused on that point....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme, and 3 points for each correct triplet you match up....
1. Her life was like a desert flower burning in the sun.
Until I found the way to love, it's harder said than done
2. Cover me with kisses, baby
Cover me with love
Roll me in designer sheets
I'll never get enough
3. I´m a winner, I´m a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I´m a loser what a joker
I´m playing my jokes upon you
While there´s nothing better to do
4. Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
5. My flag boy and your flag boy were
sit-tin' by the fire. - My flag boy told
Your flag boy: "I'm gon-na set your flag on fire."
6. Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, is there a silence
In the bedroom and all around
7. Call me good
Call me bad
Call me anything you want to baby
But I know that you're sad
And I know I'll make you happy
With the one thing that you never had
8. Like a country mornin', all snuggled in dew
Ah she's got a way to make a man feel shiny and new
And she sings in the evenin', oh familiar tunes
And she feeds me love and tenderness and macaroons
9. Maybe you want to end it, you've had your fill of my kind of fun
but you don't know how to tell me and you know that I'm not that dumb
I put 2 and 1 together and you know that's not an easy sum
10. Four young chiquitas in Omaha
Waitin' for the band to return from the show
A feelin' good, feelin' right and it's Saturday night
The hotel detective, he was outta sight
11. Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid
12. There will come a day
youth will pass away
then what will they say about me
13. With everything that you do is wrong
And you feel like you can barely survive yeah
When those around you are crumbling downwards
Buried in the sunset alive
14. Go, shorty
It's your birthday
We gon' party like it's your birthday
We gon' sip Bacardi like it's your birthday
And you know we don't give a fuck
cause it's not your birthday!
15. Don't you try and pretend
It's my beginning
We'll win in the end
I won't harm you
Or touch your defences
Vanity, insecurity
