You may have noticed that I'm usually fighting for the cellar in most LS games, so the theme of today's LS is simple:
What in the world does Marley listen to?
Ten songs; one point each for title and artist. Many of these are traditional songs that have been around much longer than most of the other songs you've encountered while playing LS. Any cover of the song is good for a point.
Some of the songs have a hint/bonus question associated with them. Each bonus question is worth another point.
An answer of "Present" will be worth 1 point. By so answering, you are stating that you have read the entire game, given it your best effort, and come up with nothing.
1. Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Early in the morning
2. When I think of all the worries
People seem to find
And how they're in a hurry
To complicate their mind
By chasing after money
And dreams that can't come true
I'm glad that we are different
We've better things to do.
3. Tell her to buy me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Washes the grave with silvery tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true lover of mine
4. The following song doesn't have "lyrics" per se, because it's sung in the vocalize-style with made-up phonetic syllables invented by the composer, Karl Jenkins. This particular piece has the same name for the song and the performing group, and begins thusly.
A-ri-a-di-e-mus la-te
A-ri-a-di-e-mus da
A-ri-a-di-na-tus la-ta a-du-a
A-ra-va-ne tu-e va-te
A-ra-va-ne tu-e va-te
A-ra-va-ne tu-e va-te la-te-a
Hint/Bonus Question: What airline used this song in a 1994 commercial and in their preflight video?
5. Off the Florida Keys
There's a place called [Title]
That's where you wanna go
To get away from it all
6. [Title], [Title with a pronoun change]
From the California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters
7. Oh, father why are you so sad
On this bright Easter morn
When Irish men are proud and glad
Of the land where they were born?
Oh, son, I see in mem'ries view
A far-off distant day
When, being just a lad like you
I joined the IRA.
The fine print: An answer of "Present" must be given using the phrase "Present, virtually." Failure to give the answer in this exact form will be evidence that your statement of having read the entire game is false; therefore the 1 point bonus offer will be void. However, answering "Present, virtually" will be worth 2 bonus points to EVERYONE who so answers, regardless of whether you have additional answers in the game or not.
8. [Title]
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried 'neath the sod
But the angels won't receive me
Let me go, boys
Let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry
Hint/Bonus Question: What automobile company used this song in a commercial featuring a hockey mom driving around some hockey-playing kids?
9. I love digging in the dirt
With just a pick and brush
Finding fossils is my aim
So I'm never in a rush
'Cause the treasures that I seek
Are rare and ancient things
Like Velociraptor's jaw
Or Archaeopteryx's wings
Now all the kids who wanna see'em
Are lining up at our museum
[Title, four words, declarative sentence]
That's who I am
That's who I am
That's who I am
10. I've had a life that's full
Everyone's been good to me
So fire up that fiddle, boy
And give me [title].
When the sun comes up
I will leave without a fight
The world is mine tonight.
Hint/Bonus Question: What "One Degree of WWTBAM" morning show featured this band playing this song a few years ago, just before St. Patrick's Day?
