August Lyrically Speaking Day 12 – Tough Tuesday

Welcome back to Tough Tuesday. We’re going to change the rules a little bit, inspired by the difficulty of last week’s game. This week, you should identify as many titles and artists as you can, and as usual, you will receive one point for each one correct. You MAY, if you wish, take a guess at the theme, as well. After all, there is no penalty, so why not? That phase of the game will remain open for 24 hours. On Wednesday, at approximately 6 AM Central time, you may look at the other folks’ answers. You can’t change yours, but you can use the others’ answers to see if it helps you get the theme. If you get the theme right on the first day, the bonus will be ten points. If you get it right on the second day, it will be 5 points. Also, once you figure out the theme, a krox bonus will be in effect for two additional points if you can come up with a song (or two) that fit the theme.

Good luck!

1. Do you remember when we met?
Oh, that's the day I knew you were my pet
I wanna tell you, oh, how much I love you

2. Been wound up tighter than a banjo string
Price of gas groceries and all those things
They sound little till you add 'em all up
Then you really feel the crunch.
Man, I've had enough.

3. Ever since our voyage of love began
your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind
and your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea
there's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me

4. Slowly, gently
night unfurls its splendour.
Grasp it, sense it -
tremulous and tender

5. And so I'd dream a bass will join me,
and fill the bottom in.
And maybe now some lead guitar
so it would not sound so thin.
I need some drums to set the beat
and help me keep in time.
And way back in the distance,
some strings would sound so fine.

6. We had the right love
At the wrong time
Guess I always knew inside
I wouldn't have you for a long time

7. Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back.

8. Up every mornin' just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustlin' mob
Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
While another day goes down the drain

9. Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please
And if things don't change soon, he will
Oh, man has invented his doom
First step was touching the moon.

10. I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
I got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed

11. Move your body don't you stop come on girl drop it hot
We are gonna make this party high we are gonna set the flow on fire
Keep moving don't you stop keep doing it till the sun light
Lick your lips they come a little closer lick your lips they come a little closer
Give me a kiss we party till it is over baby

12. Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo, ain't there nothin' you can take
I say, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo, to relieve your bellyache
You say, well, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo, ain't there nothing I can take
I say, whoo-whoo, to relieve your bellyache

Time to officially open this thread for second guesses. Take a look at others' answers and make a guess at the theme. Here are a few hints for you:

1. Two of the people who did guess are actually pretty close, but not close enough to get partial credit.
2. This game is closer to a mini-Tangredi game than a traditional LS game.
3. This game is also closer to a form of LS game that lb13 inserts a lot in the Winter LS Extravaganza, but that I have only used once so far.

August Lyrically Speaking Day 12 – Tough Tuesday

Welcome back to Tough Tuesday. We’re going to change the rules a little bit, inspired by the difficulty of last week’s game. This week, you should identify as many titles and artists as you can, and as usual, you will receive one point for each one correct. You MAY, if you wish, take a guess at the theme, as well. After all, there is no penalty, so why not? That phase of the game will remain open for 24 hours. On Wednesday, at approximately 6 AM Central time, you may look at the other folks’ answers. You can’t change yours, but you can use the others’ answers to see if it helps you get the theme. If you get the theme right on the first day, the bonus will be ten points. If you get it right on the second day, it will be 5 points. Also, once you figure out the theme, a krox bonus will be in effect for two additional points if you can come up with a song (or two) that fit the theme.

Good luck!

1. Do you remember when we met?
Oh, that's the day I knew you were my pet
I wanna tell you, oh, how much I love you

"Sea of Love" - The Honeydrippers

2. Been wound up tighter than a banjo string
Price of gas groceries and all those things
They sound little till you add 'em all up
Then you really feel the crunch.
Man, I've had enough.

3. Ever since our voyage of love began
your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind
and your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea
there's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me

4. Slowly, gently
night unfurls its splendour.
Grasp it, sense it -
tremulous and tender

5. And so I'd dream a bass will join me,
and fill the bottom in.
And maybe now some lead guitar
so it would not sound so thin.
I need some drums to set the beat
and help me keep in time.
And way back in the distance,
some strings would sound so fine.

6. We had the right love
At the wrong time
Guess I always knew inside
I wouldn't have you for a long time

7. Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back.

8. Up every mornin' just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustlin' mob
Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
While another day goes down the drain

"Five O'Clock World" - The Vogues

9. Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please
And if things don't change soon, he will
Oh, man has invented his doom
First step was touching the moon.

10. I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
I got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed

11. Move your body don't you stop come on girl drop it hot
We are gonna make this party high we are gonna set the flow on fire
Keep moving don't you stop keep doing it till the sun light
Lick your lips they come a little closer lick your lips they come a little closer
Give me a kiss we party till it is over baby

12. Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo, ain't there nothin' you can take
I say, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo, to relieve your bellyache
You say, well, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo, ain't there nothing I can take
I say, whoo-whoo, to relieve your bellyache

Theme?

I say, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo, to relieve your bellyache
You say, well, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo, ain't there nothing I can take
I say, whoo-whoo, to relieve your bellyache

Lime in the Coconut - Harry Belefonte?

I don't know if it's the right answer because I'm not an expert on Jimmy Buffett's discography... but I'll agree with Elwood and Melly that the titles can be paired up to make titles of Jimmy Buffett songs.

Krox: "It's My Life" by Talk Talk + "Take This Job and Shove It" by Johnny Paycheck = "It's My Job"

inferring that the reference is to LB's Matchup games, it appears to be pairs of elements or amenities involved in an ocean cruise.

Didn't see it, but congrats to those that did, and props to the meister.

Hey copycat! You were allowed to look at the others' answers to the songs & titles, not their guesses for the theme! No Krox for you!!!
