Answers & Points - Lyrically Speaking - 3/9/09
Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2009 5:46 am
This is the final week of the 2009 Winter Lyrically Speaking Extravaganza, and so this is the final look back into my LS archives for a classic game. Since I am ending the contest with an all request game this Friday, I figured that it would be fitting to make the final Retro game the original all request game I ended my October 2002 contest with...
Below are 11 songs requested by 11 BB's who played in the 10/2002 contest. The BB's submitting requests is listed below, and you'll get a bonus point for each one you can match up to their requested song....
Note: This is not a true Retro Monday game in the fact that I only had the list of songs I used to go on. I did not have the actual lyrics I used saved as I did with the previous 9 Retro games. Of course, that only matters if you really care about comparing the retro points to the current points...
Today's Retro Monday game was originally posted on Friday November 1, 2002...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and 1 point for matching the BB to their request....
BB's: Barbarella09, deb_in_ga, Eyegor, HF_Jai, minimetoo26, otherindigo, Rev_Dodd, rob_wilson, starfish1113, Sir_Galahad, vandalrmc
1. Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
2. I been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in 3 damn nights
3. I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene
When I say we'll be cool I think that you know what I mean
4. I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lyin' there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
5. California dreamers
sinkin' in the sand (the sand the sand)
the Hollywood squares are
Living in Disneyland
6. It was way past midnight
and she still couldn't fall asleep.
This night the dream was leaving
she tried so hard to keep
7. Never win first place, I don't support the team
I can't take direction, and my socks are never clean
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight cuz I can't do nothin' right
8. I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul
By dropping names
9. Arrows of neon and flashin' marquees out on Main street
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings
10. I said "hey babe, do you want to coo, coo, coo"
She said "uh, uh, uh"
So I was left out in the cold
I said "you're what I've been dreamin' of"
She said "I don't want to know"
11. He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under, The lightning and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain
