Song challenge: Song you want to turn up loud!

1. day 21 - a song that you listen to when you’re happy

Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack
I opened up the paper to the page in the back
It only took a minute for my finger to find
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign

LB's Pick: I love how the people who write these challenges think everyone has "mood music." I'd bet there are more people who don't listen to certain music based on their mood than those who do. I'll just pick one of my happy songs... Funky Town - Pseudo Echo

2. day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness,
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,

LB's Pick: I Will Remember You - Sara McLaughlin (It doesn't just make puppies sad, it makes me cringe when I hear it...)

3. day 23 - a song that you want to play at your wedding

I guess when you met me it was just one of those things.
But don't ever bet me 'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me.

LB's Pick: Stupid Girl - Garbage

4. day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral

But when ye come, and all the flow’rs are dyin’
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lyin’
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

LB's Pick: If I'm playing music at my own funeral... please don't bury me! I could give a shit less what anyone plays once I'm dead. Since I'll soon be in the ground, let's go with a fitting song that also makes me want to kill myself when I hear it... Ants Marching - Dave Matthews Band

5. day 25 - a song that makes you laugh

Take your cigarette from its holder,
And burn your initials in my shoulder.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that you're mine,

LB's Pick: Jizz In My Pants - The Lonely Island (I can't count how many times I've seen the video, and it still busts my ass up every time...)

6. day 26 - a song that you can play on an instrument

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regrets
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothin' like me yet.

LB's Pick: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - Every little kid (I'm better off listening to music than trying to play it...)

7. day 27 - a song that you wish you could play

Well, I had just got out from the county prison
Doin ninety days for non-support
Tried to find me an executive position
But no matter how smooth I talked

LB's Pick: Dr Wily Stages 1 and 2 - Mega Man 2



This is widely regarded as the greatest 8-bit video game theme ever composed, and I'd certainly be inclined to agree with that consensus. When I was given a keyboard a few years ago (long since mothballed to the hoarder room), I tried to learn a lot of my old favorite NES themes I remembered from back in the day. There were some I could plod through without hitting too many wrong notes, but this one was impossible for me to learn. It is, however, an absolute work of computerized music genius that I very much wish I could have played.

8. day 28 - a song that makes you feel guilty

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
Lady in Red - Chris DeBurgh (OMG! I got an actual song in the game right!)

LB's Pick: Captain Jack - Billy Joel (This is about a stupid ass challenge question... but hey, I did tease Clem quite a bit with this song back in the 2009 LSWE, and I almost feel sorry for that.... almost....)

9. day 29 - a song from your childhood

I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
Henry the 8th I Am - Herman's Hermits

LB's Pick: Hot Cherie - Danny Spanos (One of many great rock songs that was played all the time on 106.5 KWK, which my folks listened to when I was a kid in the early 80's, but which nobody not from around here has a clue about because it was just a regional hit...)

10. day 30 - your favorite song at this time last year

I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow. What d'you say?
Cups (Something like Pitch perfect When I'm Gone in parenthetical) - Anna Kendrick

LB's Pick: I could go with the obvious Mr. Thicke song, but I'll instead focus on the Mecca CD which was playing at this time last year... the Summer CD. And the best song on it hands down was Brokenhearted - Karmin

1. day 21 - a song that you listen to when you’re happy

Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack
I opened up the paper to the page in the back
It only took a minute for my finger to find
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign

Something about astrology by Weird Al Yankovic?


4. day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral

But when ye come, and all the flow’rs are dyin’

Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lyin’
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

Your choice: No clue
My choice: Anything Goes/Ethel Merman and many others

August LS Day 11 – Thirty Day Song Challenge, pt. 3

The last ten days of the thirty day song challenge. Today’s challenges are a bit of a stretch for me, but I’ve given my most honest answers here – identify the title and artist for one point each. Give your answer to the challenge for an additional bonus point. And since this is the last of the 30 day song challenge, but I have one more Monday ahead of me, I'll give 2 more bonus points for a song challenge idea you think should be included in next week's game.

1. day 21 - a song that you listen to when you’re happy

Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack

2. day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad

3. day 23 - a song that you want to play at your wedding

I guess when you met me it was just one of those things.
But don't ever bet me 'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me.

Come Rain or Come Shine-Judy Garland, among a vast and varied number of artists/the one actually played at our wedding was John Michael Montgomery's "I Swear", although the version was done by my wife and me...she had secretly added harmonies to a karaoke recording I had done. I thought we would be hearing the JMM version...No, nobody got up and left....

4. day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral

But when ye come, and all the flow’rs are dyin’
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lyin’
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

Danny Boy-I'm gonna go with Off Kilter's rockin' the bagpipes version. Off Kilter is a Celtic Rock band that plays daily at the Canadian pavilion in Disney World's EPCOT Center. Yes, it is available on a CD/mine is Into the Mystic-Van Morrison.

I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,

A backstory -- When TLAF's family would get together in my grandparents' yard, my uncles would hook up a big-spindle 45 record player on extension cords so we could play records outside. When the evening came around and the teenagers left, they would put on 45s of Mitch Miller and the Gang. On the bus home, THFD, TLAF and I would sing. Softly but still sing.

Challenge ideas (not fishing for extra points...just tossing a few out there in case there aren't enough to go around...):
A song that puts you in a party mood
A song that makes you ponder the meaning of life
A song that nobody has probably ever heard of that you just want to share

[quote="mrkelley23"]August LS Day 11 – Thirty Day Song Challenge, pt. 3

The last ten days of the thirty day song challenge. Today’s challenges are a bit of a stretch for me, but I’ve given my most honest answers here – identify the title and artist for one point each. Give your answer to the challenge for an additional bonus point. And since this is the last of the 30 day song challenge, but I have one more Monday ahead of me, I'll give 2 more bonus points for a song challenge idea you think should be included in next week's game.

1. day 21 - a song that you listen to when you’re happy

2. day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad

I guess when you met me it was just one of those things.
But don't ever bet me 'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me.

My pick: There is love, Gail Abbott. I mean ... I dunno what I mean. I'm hearing a soprano sing it, but that's probably because Gail is a soprano. Somebody y'all might know, on the other hand . . . I can't hear any famous voices singing it that I can identify. Onward!

4. day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral

But when ye come, and all the flow’rs are dyin’
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lyin’
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

Danny Boy, Celtic Woman

My pick: Jean, Oliver. Since it already sounds like a dirge.

5. day 25 - a song that makes you laugh

Take your cigarette from its holder,
And burn your initials in my shoulder.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that you're mine,

My pick: You may be right, Billy Joel

6. day 26 - a song that you can play on an instrument

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regrets
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothin' like me yet.

My pick: The piccolo part to Stars and Stripes forever. Hm. No lyrics. Oh well. Onward.

7. day 27 - a song that you wish you could play

Well, I had just got out from the county prison
Doin ninety days for non-support
Tried to find me an executive position
But no matter how smooth I talked

I got those steadily depressin, low down mind messin

Workin at the Car Wash Blues. Jim Croce.

My pick: Take Five, Dave Brubeck.

8. day 28 - a song that makes you feel guilty

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,

The Lady in Red, Stevie Wonder

My pick: Purple People Eater, Sheb Wooley

9. day 29 - a song from your childhood

I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before

Henry the VIIIth, Herman' Hermits

My pick: You Ain't Nothing but a Hound Dog, Elvis Presley. It was banned at our house because my brother wouldn't stop singing it.

10. day 30 - your favorite song at this time last year

I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow. What d'you say?
