Lyrically Speaking - 2/19/20

[littlebeast13]

Two Theme Thursdays not on a Thursday in one week? Hey, why not? If that isn't a Wacky Wednesday, then I don't know what is...

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


1. So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know

2. I don`t know what color your eyes are, baby
But your hair is long and brown
Your legs are strong and you`re so, so long
And you don`t come from this town

3. Maybe I was the one who left the trace
Was there a message written on my face?
Were my emotions so easily read
That you would know my thoughts before a word was said

4. You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow

5. Look at our life now
All tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight
Delighting with tears
As we cry until dawn

6. Dom dom dom dom
Domby dooby dom......
Wah, wah, wah, wah

7. Well, you think you`re
Gonna find yourself
A little piece of paradise
But it ain`t happened yet,
So, girl, you better think twice

8. Hey, Judy, get Trudy
You said to call you up
And I was feeling moody

9. Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say, "I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die.
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is no!"

10. Time was drifting
This rock had got to roll
So I hit the road and made my getaway

11. Hey, he knows I wasn't cheating
Now you're gonna get a beating

12. We don't need to talk about it anymore
Yesterday's just a memory, can we close the door
I just made one mistake
I didn't know what to say
When you called me, baby

High Enough - Damn Yankees
be
In my top 5 all time favourite songs, and reading that comma in the last line is making me rethink the whole meaning....damn (ha!) your eyes!


Theme?

Sports team nicknames

If pressed for more specificity, I would say Big 4 but maybe one of the ones I didn't get is the Arsenal or something so I"m going to play it safe and not use the Stampeders....

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that fits the theme of today's game.

Black Betty - Ram Jam

Dammit, I know there was a group called the Jaguars, but I can't remember any of their songs and I'm late answering as it is...

Image Bonus: If you know the theme, show me a fitting image.



If you were actually a basketball fan, this would be NBN (look it up...) for the IBB

[Earl the Squirrel]

Dammit to hell and back....

Spoiler

Some how I managed to erase 8 and 9 when I was fixing tags. I knew Rude-Magic, but not the other one. If you call goaltending on that basket, I'll survive. I won't like it, but I'm not going to bitch and get T'd up for it....ha!

1. So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know
Shattered Dreams - Johnny Hates Jazz (20 years ago, when the Diamondbacks sent Travis Lee to the Phillies in the Curt Schilling trade, I started singing this song in my head as "You're giving me, giving me... nothing but Travis Lee, Travis Lee." And to this day, that's still how it goes in my mind...)

2. I don`t know what color your eyes are, baby
But your hair is long and brown
Your legs are strong and you`re so, so long
And you don`t come from this town
So Alive - Love & Rockets (I hate that this was their only big pop hit. It's not that good, and their cover of "Ball of Confusion" was epic...)

3. Maybe I was the one who left the trace
Was there a message written on my face?
Were my emotions so easily read
That you would know my thoughts before a word was said
Crush On You - Jets (So many big hits for them, and yet they're barely an 80's footnote today...)

4. You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
On the Road Again - Canned Heat

5. Look at our life now
All tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight
Delighting with tears
As we cry until dawn
Hold Me Now - Thompson Twins

6. Dom dom dom dom
Domby dooby dom......
Wah, wah, wah, wah
Come Go With Me - Del Vikings

7. Well, you think you`re
Gonna find yourself
A little piece of paradise
But it ain`t happened yet,
So, girl, you better think twice
Kicks - Paul Revere & the Raiders

8. Hey, Judy, get Trudy
You said to call you up
And I was feeling moody
This Beat Goes On/Switching To Glide - The Kings (Outside of our short-lived 80's station from the turn of the millennium, I don't think I've ever heard this song anywhere else...)

9. Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say, "I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die.
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is no!"
Rude - Magic! (This song preceded Squirrels Chase Boys on the 2014 Summer CD, and let me know it was time to go to lunch...)

10. Time was drifting
This rock had got to roll
So I hit the road and made my getaway
Couldn't Get It Right - Climax Blues Band

11. Hey, he knows I wasn't cheating
Now you're gonna get a beating
My Boyfriend's Back - Angels (I had to check and make sure Lesley Gore didn't have anything to do with this after two players put her down for this song. There's certainly a resemblance...)

12. We don't need to talk about it anymore
Yesterday's just a memory, can we close the door
I just made one mistake
I didn't know what to say
When you called me, baby
High Enough - Damn Yankees


Theme? - Pro sports team nicknames from the North American Big Four in the artist names

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that fits the theme of today's game.

Though I required the full team name to appear in the artist (including plurals, where applicable), I didn't hold it against any Kroxes. This late in the LSWE, I shouldn't be so lenient... but I'm such a softie. Also, I can't believe of all the teams I went through in my head, I never once landed on the Eagles. Sheesh...

Image Bonus: If you know the theme, show me a fitting image.

mrk's got the best reaction from me... but I decided to belatedly honor Esto's point he made about the Image Bonus in the girls/squirrel game and award the IBB to.... melly (two in a row!) for the best image that referenced a sports team nickname without actually being the team itself. 5 points for the Sharks and Jets!

[littlebeast13]

JJC Points:


Weasel gets 2 JJC points for the Astros drive thru...

frank gets a JJC point for extreme benchwarming...

Krox gets 3 JJC points for bird legs...

TBone gets 2 JJC points for being a dunce on a theme almost everyone else got...

Vandal gets 3 JJC points for someone who should be very worried about frostbite...

Panic gets 2 JJC points for being stuck with the Lions...

mrk gets a supermax for sprots teams and the church sign...

melly gets 3 JJC points for Sharks/Jets and for being the only one in the game, including me, who came up with The Eagles...

Sprots gets a JJC point for a desperate attempt at points...

Anon gets 2 JJC points for hanging out with 150 year old bloggers and Jets highlights...

Esto gets 2 JJC points for having a Sox fetish...

Earl gets 2 JJC points (and the 2 points for Rude) for Sebastian Janikowski and for being careless...

2. I don`t know what color your eyes are, baby

And you don`t come from this town
So Alive - Love & Rockets (I hate that this was their only big pop hit. It's not that good, and their cover of "Ball of Confusion" was epic...)

I don't know what the big hits elsewhere were, but KROQ played them a lot in the latter 80's. They had at least one song on most every "Top 80 Songs of" annual list. Here are a few that you may not have heard:

1986 #40. Kundalini Express -- Love And Rockets


1986 #67. All In My Mind -- Love & Rockets


1987 #11. No New Tale To Tell -- Love & Rockets


1989 #34. No Big Deal -- Love & Rockets

Dude! You do realize that my image was of Kevin Love wearing a Rockets jersey when he has never played for Houston, right?

Whoosh.......mind.... blown!

That pesky Melly, I'll get you yet, my pretty......

[littlebeast13]

Dude! You do realize that my image was of Kevin Love wearing a Rockets jersey when he has never played for Houston, right?

Whoosh.......mind.... blown!

I did take note that the url had "kevin-love" in it. And I did pair it with your comment about if Kevin Love (whoever that is) played for the Houston Rockets, etc. And if this Kevin Love didn't play for the Houston Rockets as you alluded to, I had no idea why anyone would Photoshop their jersey on him, so my feeble mind gave up...

But that was part of the joke. Of course it wasn't his jersey because he has always had the number 0. Get it? Love....zero. It's a multi-sport pun! Which reminds me of the other night, my mom calls asking why Mason Plumlee is wearing 7. I tell her it's because has had 24 which was Kobe's number and a lot of 24s and, to a lesser extent, 8s are changing their numbers. Which I attribute a lot of that to peer pressure. So she says, "Gallinari is still wearing 8". Duh! Gallo has always had 8 and he won't give that up for nothin' because he's 8/8/88. Side note: I really don't understand all of the 8 business, because, after all, Kobe discarded that one. But, like I said, peer pressure....

Kevin Love Fun Fact: His uncle is Beach Boy Mike Love!
