In a complete and total coincidence (as in, I had no idea when I scheduled the game), today's Encore Monday theme was first presented in the LSWE on 1/28/11. 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....

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

1. Teenage diplomat

2. Sulky smile

3. Thundering velvet hand

4. Melt your popcicle

5. Hungry reggae

6. Five year plans

7. Pocket full of mumbles

8. Gemlike flame

9. Brady Bunch trousers

10. Sixteen Parkside Lane

11. Hurricane Annie

12. Bowel-shaking earthquakes

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains a small, unique snippet of lyric, and provide that snippet for full credit.

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)

Coincidentally, I had been thinking about this game when I was in the shower yesterday--the phrase "gentian and the indigo" from Find the River by REM popped into my head. I forgot what I kroxed that time--probably "seesaw swingin'" from Walk This Way by Aerosmith. Another Coincidence Alert would have popped up if you had used Bust a Move by Young MC today--that was the Before School Song since I picked one before Erin asked for anything, "you fine fellow"...

Mecca Radio has apparently sprung back to life over the weekend. Unfortunately, they have taken a page from the Xmas music department and are playing a night-long loop, which was pretty obvious from listening to it for 3 nights now. Lots of 90's and 00's stuff (even a few songs from last year), with some 80's and a touch of 70's. One of the songs is a Cake song....

edited for superfluous content...and this heading

These lyrics are totally unacceptable. The way I play this is the words generate a tune in my head and then I name that tune (I can name that tune in two notes)

And tell that Interpreter guy that my butt got all sunburned last year when he went off to work for that squirrel again last summer. I hope this season he gets his ass kicked. And I know about asses. The Sun is too glorious down here in Oaxaca (well really on the coast) to make things up for JJC points

6 Who'll Stop the Rain - CCR you just don't get political commentary in music any more, do you
7 The Boxer - Simon and Gerfunkel
10 Taxi - Harry Chapin Actually, this phrase appears in another song, also by Chapin. Several years after Taxi he released a sequel, brilliantly named

wait

Sequel, which also contains that address. Interestingly, even though one song is well known and the other forgotten, I believe they both did about the same on the charts from what I've read

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.

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....
