August LS Day 16 Bam Bored Song Challenge
I got enough great ideas from your responses last week that I went ahead and put together another song challenge for this last Monday of the game. As usual, my song and artist are worth one point apiece, and you can provide your own choice of song and artist that matches the challenge for an additional point. For the one that says "from a given year," I identified my year, but you don't have to choose the same year for your bonus. For the one about sharing a song that probably nobody knows, try searching your song on youtube, and if a version exists, post the youtube link for us so we can all hear it. I'll try to do that for mine when I post the answers.
1. A Song you want to turn up loud
All over the country
I’ve seen it the same
Nobody’s winning
At this kind of game
2. A song that makes you dance in your chair
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
3. A Song by a memorable act you've seen live
Singing so they hear what's on your mind,
And when you look around you'll find
There's more than
4. Song that makes you think of your best friend
So you got everything, aw but nothing's cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school
Anymore.
5. A song that makes you think of your first crush
Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives had just begun
Forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
6. Song you love by an artist you hate
Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake (don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say (oh, yeah)
7. Song you hate by your favorite artist
Bobby's drivin' through the city tonight
Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard
8. A song from a certain year. – 1991, in my case. Birth of my first son.
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
9. A song that puts you in a party mood
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older
10. A song that makes you ponder the meaning of life
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
11. A song that nobody has probably ever heard of that you just want to share
If all you had to do each day
Was wake up and go out to play
And shake the hand of all the world
Especially every boy and girl.
12. a song you sing to keep you awake while driving
And I'm here to prove to you
That we can party on the positive side
And pump positive vibes
So come along for the ride
Making you feel the rhythm is my occupation
