Lyrically Speaking - 1/8/14

[The Shithouse Rats]

One bad thing about playing in a band is that most people have no idea who you are. You think anybody out there can name our drummer or our bass player? Hell, even the groupies think they're a bunch of nobodies. The only way to get people to know your name in a band is to get yourself a shoutout in one of your songs. It worked for these groups... all of the songs below contain one or more of the group members in the lyrics, and those particular snippets have been provided. That might help you with the artist... if (sigh) anyone knew the members of the band to begin with. You know what... I'm beginning to think we don't like Wacky Wednesdays either....

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


1. Make up, break up, everything is shake up

One bad thing about playing in a band is that most people have no idea who you are. You think anybody out there can name our drummer or our bass player?

And just like that, if I'm right about #11, I've already blown my chance at the first Annie Bonus of the competition. I have no brains.

A Mighty Wind

One bad thing about playing in a band is that most people have no idea who you are. You think anybody out there can name our drummer or our bass player? Hell, even the groupies think they're a bunch of nobodies. The only way to get people to know your name in a band is to get yourself a shoutout in one of your songs. It worked for these groups... all of the songs below contain one or more of the group members in the lyrics, and those particular snippets have been provided. That might help you with the artist... if (sigh) anyone knew the members of the band to begin with. You know what... I'm beginning to think we don't like Wacky Wednesdays either....

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