Today, we have TheSearchIsOn's favorite LS format of all time, the short phrase LS! Below are 12 extremely small lyric snippets from songs that span the decades. These l'il bits are, so far as I can tell, unique to only one song that could even reasonably be considered to have been popular. They may seem familiar, but can you figure out what song they come from? This is the PERFECT game for the vague at heart....
AND for the cheater!! So very little to google -- what a game!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....
1. Teenage diplomat
Blinded by the Light, Manfred Mann. This is a GREAT song for cheaters and why Gladys Knight was totally cheated out of the money for her charity. This implies that the show gave her the money later: "In one celebrity episode, Gladys Knight was in the hot seat and had a question along the lines of Which of these artists never wrote a number one song? The choices were Sting, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen. The answer that the Millionaire producers were looking for was Springsteen. In fact, Springsteen wrote the number one hit 'Blinded By the Light,' by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. Regis acknowledged this later after the error was brought to the attention of the show."
2. Sulky smile
Family Man, Daryl Hall and John Oates
3. Thundering velvet hand
Leader of the Band, Dan Fogelberg. This is the answer to the bonus, and long time posters (and cheaters) have a big advantage here, see below.
4. Melt your popcicle
California Gurls, Katy Perry
5. Hungry reggae
FM, Steely Dan
6. Five year plans
Who'll Stop the Rain, CCR
7. Pocket full of mumbles
The Boxer, Simon and Garfunkel
8. Gemlike flame
Kyrie, Mr. Mister
9. Brady Bunch trousers
Parents just don't understand, Will Smith
10. Sixteen Parkside Lane
Taxi, Harry Chapin
11. Hurricane Annie
Sign O' The Times, Prince
12. Bowel-shaking earthquakes
The Distance, Cake
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains a small, unique snippet of lyric, and provide that snippet for full credit.
Midnight Train to Georgia, Gladys Knight and the Pips -- He pawned all his hopes. . .
5 Point Bonus: One of my favorite bits of personal trivia to throw about from time to time.... one of the above artists performed the only concert I have ever gone to in my life. Which one? (Song number is fine for the blind squirrels out there)
FWEET! FOUL! Non-cheaters are all gonna put 13, except there is no 13, so they're gonna put 9!
It's #3: Dan Fogelberg (I love a lot of Fogelberg's music, and not just because he's the only musician I have ever seen in concert, have I mentioned that about 5423789033 time before?)
(That may be better than my one and only concert being Dan Fogelberg.... you may want to file that away in case it comes up again someday.....)
Dan Fogelberg (I missed the opportunity to ask which if these artists is the only one I've ever seen in concert. The answer.... Fogelberg, after my mom won tickets off the radio when I was only 9...)
Dan Fogelberg is the answer to a personal trivia question of mine I like to stump people with....Who is the only musician I've ever seen in concert? My Mom won tickets off the radio to a concert he held here back in 1984 (Part of his tour he held after releasing "Language of Love"). She couldn't get anyone else to go with her, so she took me. Even though I was only 9 at the time, I was still familiar with a lot of his older songs... though I didn't realize until the concert that he had been the one who sung them....
