Lyrically Speaking - 1/21/13

It's that day everyone has been waiting for..... National Squirrel Appreciation Day!!!

First, a note about today's avatar. It will not win, and it is not necessarily representative of any endorsement of the artist for or against any particular football outcome. It is merely me admitting defeat, and doing my pennance for putting the Ravens in the Super Bowl. How can I take the credit for that, you ask, since I haven't played a down of football since high school PE class? A few weeks ago, I learned that Ray Lewis' noted seizure he has as he comes out of the tunnel on game day was called the Squirrel Dance... and I thought it would be cute to point that out with a post on my blog on the day after Lewis played his final game... along with the standard cheesy post title "Nevermore". Well, that pretty much assured Baltimore they would never be eliminated from postseason play... and that's exactly what happened. I apologize profusely to all Colts, Broncos, and Patriots fans out there. I do admit, though, MBRS looks pretty good in purple.... then again, what doesn't go well on her?

Oh, and it does happen to be the first day of the 2013 Lyrically Speaking Winter/Spring Extravaganza!!! How about that, two wonderful noteworthy things happening today! If you haven't read the official rules, now's the time to track them down! I hope you all enjoy this year's game, and I hope many of you play along with us this year! Don't worry if you're no good with music, Marley and DK have the basement well stocked with goodies!

Mondays this year will be Encore Mondays, meaning I have taken old ideas from past LSWE games and just switched up the songs. Today's game brings back the theme of spoken lyrics, which I originally used on 1/8/10. All of the snippets from songs below are spoken rather than sung. Can you talk out the answers today? Will you hug a squirrel? Do you think President Whatshisname will mention what an honor it is to be sworn in on Squirrel Day?

Ahhh, on with it. You know how to play! Good luck, and after the 2 week delay, let's finally kick this thing off!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. I'm a driver

3. And though my friends just might ask me

You'll find true love

6. You know who you are
High fivin', talking shit
But you're going home alone, aren'tcha?

7. He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye
The tears were beginning to show

I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I'll never know

8. Be quiet, big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry

1994

Crap. I'm almost positive it was the 80s so I have a 1 in 10 chance. So I just picked 1988. But then I got to thinking that maybe it's more 90s. So I picked 1994 because that's the year that the Rangers won the Cup. Double Crap. Do I get any credit at all for knowing it's Baz Luhrmann???

Ahhh, on with it. You know how to play! Good luck, and after the 2 week delay, let's finally kick this thing off!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. I'm a driver
I'm a winner
Things are gonna change I can feel it

This Here Truck's Gonna Win Me The Indy 500-Jethro Bodine

2. You broke my heart
Cause I couldn't dance
You didn't even want me around
And now I'm back to let you know
I can really shake 'em down

Do You Love Me?-The Contours (but not the Dave Clark Five 'cuz they don't use this intro)

3. And though my friends just might ask me
They say, Martin, maybe one day
You'll find true love
I say, maybe, there must be a solution
To the one thing, the one thing
We can't find

The Look of Love-ABC

4. OK, Tokyo
South America, Australia
France, Germany, UK, Africa

Dancin' In The Street-David Bowie & Mick Jagger (not the Martha & the Vandellas version..see #2 above)

5. Please operator
See what you can do
I dialed the right number
But I still couldn't get though
Would you just check the line
Just one more time if you can
I'm pretty sure my phone wouldn't be answered by no man

Gimme 1-800-S-L-U-T (not 1-800-S-T-U-D)-The 5 Buxaminnit

6. You know who you are
High fivin', talking shit
But you're going home alone, aren'tcha?

And That Phone Sex Line Is Busy Thanks to Mr. #5-The Handymen

7. He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye
The tears were beginning to show
As he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I'll never know

Leader of the Pack-The Shangri-Las

8. Be quiet, big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry

Big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry

I'm Not in Love-10cc

9. Have you seen Junior's grades?

And The Cradle Will Rock-Van Halen

10. This is United States calling, are we reaching...?

Yowtch. Not sure how to answer this....It's from Pink Floyd's "The Wall"....the spoken word segment that bridges the songs "Young Lust" and "One of My Turns". Since THIS part of the dialogue runs over the fadeout of the former, I'll answer "Young Lust"-Pink Floyd

11. Now wait a minute, y'all
This dance ain't for everybody
Only the sexy people
So all you fly mothers, get on out there and dance
Dance, I said!

If'n Ya Don't Commence Ta Dancin', I'ma Gonna Start A'Blastin'-Yosemite Sam

12. This ain't no disco
This ain't no country club either,
This is L.A.

All I Wanna Do-Sheryl Crow

In honor of the inaugural....
"And if I'm elected, I promise the formation of a new party....a third party...THE WILD PARTY!!!.."

I actually like the next part of his "speech" better but I can't remember it all...I have to go look it up now or it'll bug me the rest of the day...

I know we have problems,
We got problems right here in Central City,
We have problems on the North, South, East and West,
New York City, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles,
Detroit, Chicago,
Everybody has problems,
And personally, I don't care."

8. I'm Not In Love - 10cc

Kroxquo - The insufferable song "I've Never Been To Me" by Charlene. I just remember a fight and the fact that she's fighting with the same man she's going to make love to that night and says "That's truth, that's love". Uggggghhhh.....
