Lyrically Speaking - 1/4/21
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2021 8:02 am
TELL US WHY.... we don't like Mondays! Actually, we DO like Mondays when they're the day a new LSWE kicks off! You know what we like to do when we stay up all night? Play our instruments! It turns out, that's the theme of this first game of the LSWE which we were given the honor of hosting. Each of the songs below mentions one (and only one) musical instrument somewhere in its lyrics. You can even .. have a bonus point on the Rats if you identify that instrument in each song (Don't tell LB we're giving away extra points for something other than humour.... yes humoUr because we're British! And maybe sucking up).
Oh, and LB says to make sure and watch for the Friday theme request which will be posted shortly after this game goes up! I don't know why, we don't like Fridays either...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 1 point for the musical instrument mentioned in the song's lyrics...
1. Just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
I done told you once, you son of a bitch (or gun)
I'm the best there's ever been
2. Jump up and down and move it all around
Shake your head to the sound
Put your hand on the ground
Take one step left and one step right
One to the front and one to the side
3. Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a King
4. Now shes moving all around the tables luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me hidden by the light
Closer closer she is getting nearer, soon she'll be in reach
As I enter into her spotlight, she stands lost for speech.
5. It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers, wild gamblers
That's all in the past
6. The old man said to me
Said, you can`t change
The world single handedly
Raise a glass enjoy the scenery
7. Luther croons
Sly's the original originator
James screams
Marvin was the only innovator
8. Got a beat up glove
A homemade bat
And a brand new pair of shoes
9. Deep down Louisiana
Close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods
Among the evergreens
10. W.C. Handy
Won't you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
11. There's a place up ahead and I'm going
Just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if you're going
Leave the sinking ship behind
12. Guess who eats together
At the Carnegie Deli
Bowser from Sha Na Na
And Arthur Fonzarelli
