1. We're calling everyone to ride along
To another shore
We can laugh our lives away
And be free once more

2. You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
But don't listen to my replies

3. They were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

4. It hurts to see the man that I've become
And to know I'll never see the morning sun
Shine on the land
I'll never see your smiling face, or touch your hand
If just once more I could see
You, our home, and our little baby

5. They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

6. Sitting in the classroom, thinking it's a drag
Listening to the teacher rap, just ain't my bag
The noon bells rings, you know that's my cue
I'm gonna meet the boys on floor number two

7. He's never near you
To comfort and cheer you
When all those sad tears are fallin'
Baby from your eyes

8. I got bodyguards, i got two big cars
That definitely ain’t the whack
I got a Lincoln Continental
And a sun roof Cadillac

9. And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
You'll be way down there
Looking up

10. I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winning
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart

Bonus Instrumental: This group’s biggest hit (#3 in 1962) was created during an impromptu recording studio jam while waiting for a sessions player to arrive. It regained popularity a decade later when it was prominently featured in the opening scenes of strip cruising in American Graffiti.

Bonus Bonus: Two of this band’s members gained fame once again when they appeared in the movie The Blues Brothers as part of the Blues Brothers Band. Who were they? (5 points each)

Super Bonus: For what did the last two initials in the group’s name stand?

Unbelievable - EMF (Woohoo, 2 songs I used last month so far!)

3. They were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted
Play That Funky Music White Boy - Wild Cherry (OK, I know I didn't do this good back in that fateful August, though maybe a fast start was the only reason I played so long....)

4. It hurts to see the man that I've become
And to know I'll never see the morning sun
Shine on the land
I'll never see your smiling face, or touch your hand
If just once more I could see

Finally, one I don't know!

They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip
Kung Fu Fighting - Carl Douglas (And the only reason I remember his name is because his namesake was one of OJ's lawyers, and Jay Leno used to always act like he was the guy who did this song....)

6. Sitting in the classroom, thinking it's a drag
Listening to the teacher rap, just ain't my bag
The noon bells rings, you know that's my cue
I'm gonna meet the boys on floor number two
Smokin' in the Boys Room - Brownsville Station (You know as well as I do, though, that the Motley Crue video for their version is one of the best ever....)

7. He's never near you
To comfort and cheer you
When all those sad tears are fallin'
Baby from your eyes

8. I got bodyguards, i got two big cars
That definitely ain’t the whack
I got a Lincoln Continental
And a sun roof Cadillac

9. And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
You'll be way down there
Looking up
96 Tears - and the Mysterians (I think.... I used this one in a Friday game, and I think the part I used was close to this one...)

10. I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winning
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart
Round & Round - Ratt

This game was originally posted August 6, 2002. So any similarities to any recent LS games or my comments to them are purely coincidental. And remember, the artist must be the one who had the OHW.



1. We're calling everyone to ride along
To another shore
We can laugh our lives away
And be free once more

Ride, Captain, Ride, and from last LS, I now know this is Blues Image!

2. You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
But don't listen to my replies

Unbelieveable, EMF with Andrew "Dice" Clay. Really.

3. They were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

Play That Funky Music, White Boy, Wild Cherry?

4. It hurts to see the man that I've become
And to know I'll never see the morning sun
Shine on the land
I'll never see your smiling face, or touch your hand
If just once more I could see

No, but it sounds really sucky!

5. They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Kung Fu Fighting, and once again from a previous LS I know his name is Carl Douglas!

6. Sitting in the classroom, thinking it's a drag
Listening to the teacher rap, just ain't my bag
The noon bells rings, you know that's my cue
I'm gonna meet the boys on floor number two

Smokin' in the Boy's Room, never knew who did the original and forgot who did the remake!

7. He's never near you
To comfort and cheer you
When all those sad tears are fallin'
Baby from your eyes

Hey Hey! Kiss Him Goodbye, Steam.

8. I got bodyguards, i got two big cars
That definitely ain’t the whack
I got a Lincoln Continental
And a sun roof Cadillac

Rapper's Delight, Sugar Hill Gang

You'll be way down there
Looking up

I swear this exact lyric was used recently, and ARGH! I still forget what it is!!!!!

That you would end up winning
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart

For those who didn't read the explanations from yesterday, this is Surprise Tuesday. Today's surprise looks to be One Hit Wonders, yay! You've got 24 hours from the posting time, so start your engines.

Here's a link to all that explanatory stuff:

This game was originally posted August 6, 2002. So any similarities to any recent LS games or my comments to them are purely coincidental. And remember, the artist must be the one who had the OHW.



1. We're calling everyone to ride along
To another shore
We can laugh our lives away
And be free once more

RIDE CAPTAIN RIDE - BLUES IMAGE

2. You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
But don't listen to my replies

UNBELIEVABLE - EMF

The best part of the song is the Dice Clay sample. I really think it would have long been forgotten (much like ADC himself) if it weren't for that part.

3. They were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC - WILD CHERRY

Thank goodness nobody put Vanilla Ice, or I would've had to cut you.

4. It hurts to see the man that I've become
And to know I'll never see the morning sun
Shine on the land
I'll never see your smiling face, or touch your hand
If just once more I could see
You, our home, and our little baby

INDIANA WANTS ME - R DEAN TAYLOR

Lb, the reason I thought it was funny that this was the first one you didn't know is that it was in your next to last LS game (the Monopoly one)! Apparently you just found an Indiana song and grabbed a couple lines.

5. They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

KUNG FU FIGHTING - CARL DOUGLAS

The two albums my cousin and I wore out when we were kids were Jeannie C. Riley and this one. Sacreligiously enough, I now like the Foo Fighters version better.

6. Sitting in the classroom, thinking it's a drag
Listening to the teacher rap, just ain't my bag
The noon bells rings, you know that's my cue
I'm gonna meet the boys on floor number two

SMOKIN' IN THE BOYS' ROOM - BROWNSVILLE STATION

I like the Crue, but it always bugged me that they did a remake of this. Similar to when Poison redid Your Mama Don't Dance. Maybe it's because I don't like name checks in remakes and they both did it.

7. He's never near you
To comfort and cheer you
When all those sad tears are fallin'
Baby from your eyes

NA NA HEY HEY KISS HIM GOODBYE - STEAM

I don't know how many NAs and how many HEYs and if any of it is parenthetical. If you put a na or a hey or a kiss him goodbye, you got it (basically, everybody that answered got it right). I like the Nylons version as well, and even had the 45, but I don't know if it actually charted for them. Thank you, Spunky, for saying Steam so I wouldn't have had to research!

8. I got bodyguards, i got two big cars
That definitely ain’t the whack
I got a Lincoln Continental
And a sun roof Cadillac

RAPPER'S DELIGHT - THE SUGAR HILL GANG

Because it would have been too easy to use the bang bang boogie part, right?

9. And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
You'll be way down there
Looking up

96 TEARS - ? AND THE MYSTERIANS

I believe him when lb says his ? disappeared and he just noted it in a reply rather than getting an urge to edit his post. So, full credit!

10. I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winning
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart

ROUND AND ROUND - RATT

I, too, thought that Ratt had a couple hits. But with the hundreds of OHWs I could have pulled out and used off the top of my head, I figured that I must have put this in for a reason and had done the necessary research at the time. So I just left it alone.

Bonus Instrumental: This group’s biggest hit (#3 in 1962) was created during an impromptu recording studio jam while waiting for a sessions player to arrive. It regained popularity a decade later when it was prominently featured in the opening scenes of strip cruising in American Graffiti.

GREEN ONIONS - BOOKER T and the MGS

Bonus Bonus: Two of this band’s members gained fame once again when they appeared in the movie The Blues Brothers as part of the Blues Brothers Band. Who were they? (5 points each)

DONALD "DUCK" DUNN and STEVE "COLONEL" CROPPER

I don't blame you if you didn't get this. They looked a lot different by the time the Blues Brothers rolled around!

Super Bonus: For what did the last two initials in the group’s name stand?

MEMPHIS GROUP
