¡Hola! I've taken a brief break from my siesta here in Oaxaca to introduce this Theme Thursday game for Senor LB. I dunno what the trick is in this game, nor do I much care. All I wanna do is put this big sombrero back over my head and grab another 4000 winks. Wake me up in a few weeks when it is our turn to draft in the BBBL... this will be Mark Mulder's year, I just know it!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme...

1. You've gone too far this time
And I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the danger line

2. And don't you know, don't you know
That it's wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But you'll never be strong

3. You might not ever get rich
But let me tell ya it's better than diggin' a ditch

4. Turning me on, turning me off,
making me feel like I want too much
living with you's just putting me through it all of the time

5. Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand your plan

6. On the phone, long, long distance
Always through such strong resistance
First you say you're too busy
I wonder if you even miss me

7. And just when I thought
She was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet
And brought me to the floor
She said...

8. Bye baby, see you around
Didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down
Take good care of yourself, y'hear
Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear

9. Una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Para mi, para ti

10. I saw you there
Just standing there
I thought I was only dreaming, yeah
I kissed you then
Then once again
You said you would come and dance with me

11. Holding you hand
And standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through
In everything you do

12. Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin' flame
Burnin' flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

Loco Rovo

¡Hola! I've taken a brief break from my siesta here in Oaxaca to introduce this Theme Thursday game for Senor LB. I dunno what the trick is in this game, nor do I much care. All I wanna do is put this big sombrero back over my head and grab another 4000 winks. Wake me up in a few weeks when it is our turn to draft in the BBBL... this will be Mark Mulder's year, I just know it!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme...

1. You've gone too far this time
And I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the danger line

The Reflex - Duran Duran

2. And don't you know, don't you know
That it's wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But you'll never be strong

Rich Sqirl - Hall and Oates

3. You might not ever get rich
But let me tell ya it's better than diggin' a ditch

I Strip - BJ Girls

4. Turning me on, turning me off,
making me feel like I want too much
living with you's just putting me through it all of the time

That's All - Genesis

5. Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand your plan

Tennessee - Arrested Development (Bastidge! There goes my Krox!)

6. On the phone, long, long distance
Always through such strong resistance
First you say you're too busy
I wonder if you even miss me

Never There - Cake

7. And just when I thought
She was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet
And brought me to the floor
She said...

Whoops! - Slippery When Wet

8. Bye baby, see you around
Didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down
Take good care of yourself, y'hear
Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear

Jay - NBC

9. Una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Para mi, para ti

La Bamba - Ritchie Valens

10. I saw you there
Just standing there
I thought I was only dreaming, yeah
I kissed you then
Then once again
You said you would come and dance with me

Doctor Doctor - Thompson Twins

11. Holding your hand
And standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through
In everything you do

Let Me Be There - Olivia Newton-John

12. Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin' flame
Burnin' flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

Abracadabra - Steve Miller Band

Theme?

Each title uses only one vowel, with as many occurrences as necessary. Clever game, lb!!1

5 Point Bonus: What is the six letter term for the linear alignment of three celestial bodies? - Syzygy (I did not take off for incorrect spelling so long as you had all 3 Y's where they went...)
