Welcome to Tuesday Wordplay, the game of the repeating word. Each of today's 12 songs contain one word in common.
1 point for the title, 1 for the artist.....
1. Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
2. What happend to the girl I used to known,
You let your mind out somewhere down the road
3. Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking She's so close now
This girl is half his age
4. Yesterday you were an only child
Now your ghosts have gone away
You can kill them in the classic style
Now you, "parlez vous francais"
5. I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
6. But I get up each day
Not much to say
I've nowhere to go
Loneliness fills me up inside
'Cause I'm missing you
7. If you believe in the power of magic,
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone,
Just pretend it's me
8. And when the rain came down, he heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night (Don't do it!)
Voices out of sight (Dont't do it!)
To many men have failed before, whatever you do
9. Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated
10. Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
11. It ain't the way you move
It ain't the way that you move me
Oh no
It ain't the way you shake
It ain't the way that you shake me
Oh no
12. Some women seem to have a knack
They'll turn you on and leave you flat
Never can tell who's playin for keeps
So tell me now what's holding you back
I know your heart can take it

5. I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me - Elton John. I've always thought "because you think I mean you harm" was a pretty damn good reason.
6. But I get up each day
Not much to say
I've nowhere to go
Loneliness fills me up inside
'Cause I'm missing you
Don't Let It End - Styx
7. If you believe in the power of magic,
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone,
Just pretend it's me
Don't Answer Me - Alan Parsons Project This was the cartoony video that suddenly got him all over MTV. I liked his previous song ("You Don't Believe", which come to think of it would fit here too") a lot better.
8. And when the rain came down, he heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night (Don't do it!)
Voices out of sight (Dont't do it!)
To many men have failed before, whatever you do
Don't Pay the Ferryman - Chris Deburgh When I was a freshman in high school I couldn't figure out why this wasn't a smash #1 hit.
9. Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated
Don't Cry - Asia. Who knew there were so many "don't" songs from the same 2-3 year period where I knew every rock song on the radio? I took the bus to the mall to buy Astra (on cassette, no less) the day it came out.
10. Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House
11. It ain't the way you move
It ain't the way that you move me
Oh no
It ain't the way you shake
It ain't the way that you shake me
Oh no
Don't Tell Me You Love Me ('cuz I don't wanna know) - Night Ranger. From the album before "Sister Christian"
12. Some women seem to have a knack
They'll turn you on and leave you flat
Never can tell who's playin for keeps
So tell me now what's holding you back
I know your heart can take it
dammit. So close to a perfecto. and I have no idea what this is.
And my mama cried
And my mama cried
Nanook, a-no-no
Nanook, a-no-no
Dont be a naughty eskimo
Save your money, dont go to the show

11. Cherry, Cherry/Neil Diamond (WAG)
(no, he says "you got the way to move me, Cherry", but I had to guess one of them)

hello!
Whiff!
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.
and
I would hate my disappointment to show.
and when I needed a repair to the second hand of my watch
I bought at the second-hand store
I hate getting a zero out of ten.
See you tomorrow.

The Word of the Day is DON'T
This is the second opportunity for Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue that you've missed. And I'm thinking I'd be one of the few and the proud that actually knows that one (or that actually owns a Crystal Gayle LP. Ha!) I'll save my interesting fact for when you finally break down and drag it out.

5. I can't find the right romantic line

Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me - Elton John (I don't think anyone mentioned the George Michael remake, which is a good thing... not that I really like this song anyway...)
6. But I get up each day

To many men have failed before, whatever you do
Don't Pay the Ferryman - Chris DeBurgh (A favorite song from my early grade school days that I unfortunately had to go about 15 years without hearing before I finally saw it on the Big 80's on VH1 in the late 90's)
9. Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated
Don't Cry - Asia (Until TLITF mentioned it, I was surprised at how many of these Don't songs I used came from the 1982-1983 era)
10. Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House
11. It ain't the way you move
It ain't the way that you move me
Oh no
It ain't the way you shake
It ain't the way that you shake me
Oh no
Don't Tell Me You Love Me - Night Ranger (I think this song barely eked its way onto the Top 40, and it's Night Ranger's BEST SONG!!!! Apparently, just another Midwestern favorite...)
12. Some women seem to have a knack
They'll turn you on and leave you flat
Never can tell who's playin for keeps
So tell me now what's holding you back
I know your heart can take it
Don't Fight It - Kenny Loggins & Steve Perry (I think everyone who knew this one answered only Kenny Loggins. Poor Steve Perry, but I gave credit for just Loggins)
Color me surprised that this game scored so low! I really thought this game and the Friday game were going to be the big point builders for everyone this week, but the scores for this game were overall very low....
