Lyrically Speaking - 1/30/15
Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2015 6:42 am
It's the greatest weekend of the entire year! If you haven't heard yet due to the fact that you may be both deaf and blind, the Super Bowl is this Sunday! A day when your average, run of the mill player can turn into a multi million dollar superstar like I did back in 1996! Who knows, maybe the next great LSWUe star is waiting to be born in this game! Well, until that moment when you are worthy enough to bask in the glory I have for two decades, you can still get your picture taken with my Super Bowl XXX MVP trophy for a small $20 fee...
I'm also getting a small appearance fee (I think) from LB for hosting his Super Bowl weekend Free For All Friday game! Below are 16 songs by 16 different artists. Eight of the artists hail from the Seattle area, while the other eight are known for calling the Boston area home. If you can identify which of the two cities each artist comes from, you can get an extra point (Yes, you can blindly guess at the songs you can't identify). I have no dog in this fight, I'll just be waiting for the new Super Bowl MVP at Disneyland... where for some reason I still have to pay to get in.... unless I show up to work wearing my Goofy costume.... sigh, does anyone want my autograph or something?
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 1 point for identifying if each act is from Seattle or Boston....
1. When I talked about it
Carried on, reasons only knew
But it's you I fell into
2. And as a matter of fact, it blows my mind
You would even talk to me
Because a girl like you is a dream come true
A real life fantasy
3. So this ain't the end - I saw you again today
Had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the Sun - kisses for everyone
and tales - it never fails!
4. I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
5. What'cha know 'bout rockin' a wolf on your noggin'?
What'cha knowin' about wearin' a fur fox skin?
I'm diggin' I'm diggin' I'm searchin right through that luggage
One man's trash, that's another man's come-up
6. Now I'm lookin' at a flashback Sunday
Zoom lens feelings just won't disappear
Close-up darkroom sweet-talk in my ear
7. Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake
Who's gonna come around
When you break
8. At home drawing pictures of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a vee
The dead lay in pools of maroon below
9. We were young, twenty one, all those years ago
In came a fascination, everything is under control
Full of life, untried, through thickets and through thorns
Out came a revelation, everything is out of control
10. Trumpets and violins I can
Uh, hear in the distance
I think they're calling our name
Maybe now you can't hear them
But you will, ha ha, if you
Just take hold of my hand
11. Watchin' these bimbos walkin like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
12. I`m not a coward
I`ve just never been tested
I`d like to think that
If I was I would pass
13. And I swear
That I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
14. I can see it in your walk
Tell it when you talk
I can see it in everything you do
Even in your thoughts
15. If I tell you tonight
Will you turn out the light
And walk away knowin' I love you?
16. Been all around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding.
The cretins cloning and feeding
And i don't even own a TV
Kroxquo Bonus: Double Krox!!! For 2 points each, name another song with artist who hails from the Seattle area, as well as a song with artist who hails from the Boston area.
Image Bonus: Show me a Super Bowl related image to put up on the big screen...
