Lyrically Speaking - 3/7/11
Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2011 6:56 am
Boy how time flies! It's hard to believe that this is already the tenth and final week of the 2011 LSWE.... and thus, today I present the final Fill in the Blank Monday. While there's been many different specific themes in FitBM this year, many of which were stolen from Krox's upcoming summer LS, today's game is about as generic as possible. We're just looking for numbers today. All of the blanks in the lyrics below can be filled in with a number, which you must pull from the vagueness of your own brains.....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 1 point for each correctly filled in blank.....
1. Man, it`s a hot one
Like _____ inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words
Melt everyone but you stay so cool
2. _____ men sailed up
From the San Francisco Bay,
Rolled off of their ship
And here's what they had to say.
3. She knows she got everything
A woman needs to get a man, yeah.
How can she use, the things she use
____ - _____ - _____, what a winning hand!
4. But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of ______ vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
5. Well there's _____ crosses planted in the courthouse yard
For _____ families who lost _____ farms
6. My Maseratti does _____
I lost my license, now I don't drive
7. Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in _____ degrees
8. The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of ______ years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
9. In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral.
The church bell chimed till it rang _____ times
10. _____ years have come and gone.
And she's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there.
11. ______ deadbeats living in the back street
north east west south all in the same house
sitting in a back room waiting for the big boom
I'm in a bedroom waiting for my baby
12. Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia,
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down highway _____
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that mentions a number somewhere in the lyrics (The more obscure the number, the better).
5 Point Bonus: The number in Song #2 was connected to San Francisco in another way in 2001. How?
