Lyrically Speaking - 1/7/21
Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2021 5:38 am
Below are 10 pairs of songs that are all different songs which happen to have the same titles. And the pairs are all together, so 1 and 2 have the same title, 3 and 4 have the same title, etc. This might help you pick up a few cheap points. Along the way, if you can identify which same-titled song in each pair had the highest peak position on what constituted the primary US pop chart at the time of its release, that will get you another point. With 57 points available in this game, you can either clean up or get left in the dust...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 1 point for which song in each pair charted the highest...
1. You can turn this world around
And bring back all of those happy days
Put your troubles down
It's time to celebrate
2. Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today
3. I call you on the phone
But never get a rise
So sit there all alone
It's time you realize
4. I'm going all the way
Sooner or later
Gotta love somebody
5. And if I had the sun and moon
We will shine them
I would give you
Both night and day
Love satisfying
6. When you talk to me
When you`re moaning sweet and low
When you`re touching me
And my feelings start to show
Ooh ooh ooh
7. You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
8. Oh, girl, as long as I
Been giving my love to you
You should be giving
Me your love, too
But you just keep on acting
Just like a fool
You know it ain't cool
9. I always dug the color of your hair
I always loved the clothes you wear
I can't say that you turn me on
But why'd I stay all night long
10. Looking for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find
11. Two o'clock this morning
If she should come a calling
I couldn't dream of turning her away
12. Something in the moonlight
Catches my eye
The shadow of a lover
Goes dancing by
Looking for a little
Bit of love to grow
13. When you're with me I'm smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when I'm sinking
Touch me and my troubles all fade
14. Look around, come to me
I have no answers
But know where I wanna be
15. While they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
'Til they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine, whoa-ah
16. Where do we go from here
Now that all of the
Children have grown up
And how do we spend our time
Knowing nobody gives us a damn
17. Well-a well-a well-a over the rainbow
That's where I'm gonna climb
Way up high where the bluebirds fly
I'm gonna love you all the time
18. When she gets there, she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can't get
What she came for
19. Say you're leaving on
The seven thirty train
And that you're heading out
To Hollywood
20. Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control
