It's time to hit the road with the LSWE! This week's theme for the Friday game...

ROAD TRIP!!! Who cares if it's the middle of January and they said you should stay home? Pack a bag, grab some snacks, fill up the tank, and get out that epic mix tape or CD and jam it in the stereo! What's the first song that'd be playing as you get out on the highway?

11 of you sent me your pick for the road trip prompt. And of course, I added my own to get this game to my 12 song quorum. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride (As Sprots and Beebs can attest to)...

I can't believe you quoted Harry Potter!


1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 5 points for identifying the song I picked for this game...


1. I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin’ with the wind
And the feelin that I’m under

Born to be Wild, Steppenwolf

2. And it's hard to say
Just how some things never change
And it's hard to find
Any strength to draw the line

Neutron Dance, Pointer Sisters

I have a really boring story about a Pointer Sisters tape and am hoping to get JJC points for not telling it.

3. When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
With my hand on your grease gun
Mmm, it's like a disease, son

4. On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

5. I was caught in the
Middle of a railroad track
I looked round and I knew
There was no turning back

Sigh. The first two were so easy, I thought I had it made.

6. When I go out, yeah
I know I`m gonna be
I`m gonna be the man
Who goes along with you

500 Miles, the Proclaimers

7. Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face

25 or 6 to 4, Chicago

8. My girl's name is Senora
I tell you friends, I adore her
And when she dances, oh, brother
She's a hurricane in all kinds of weather

9. In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they'd pass the hat

Creeque Alley, Mamas and Papas

10. Day in, day out, all week long
Things go better with rock
The only time I turn it down
Is when I'm sleeping it off

11. It hurts to see the man that I've become
And to know I'll never see the morning sunshine on the land

12. Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

Which song did I pick for this game?

Let it ride -- #4.

Kroxquo Bonus: So, where are we headed to? Give me a song with artist that answers that question...

Road to Nowhere, Talking Heads

Image Bonus: Look kids! What can we see out the window?

For some reason, this question made me think of this scene in the movie The Doors. Young Jimmy looks out the window where somebody's been killed, and his mom tried to downplay it, saying it was all a dream. Just wanted y'all to know, it usta be (isn't any more) that this is how the road out to the Four Corners looked.

Neutron Dance - Pointer Sisters

I was in the car singing I'm So Excited last week, but I don't suppose that gives me prescient points, does it? Well, not any more than I normally get....ha!

3. When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
With my hand on your grease gun
Mmm, it's like a disease, son

I'm in Love with My Car - Queen

FFF: This was the B side to Bohemian Rhapsody. If I would've done this earlier and had time I would've taken a picture and made it my IB. Although if straight up Andy Gibb nuts callback don't get me an IBB, then I fear it's hopeless. This is also one of the funniest scenes in BoRhap, where they are teasing Roger about this song and he comes unglued, prompting Freddie to remark, "There's only room in this band for one hysterical queen, darling". I do think that line reading cinched the Oscar for Rami Malek right then and there....

4. On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of Us - Beatles

5. I was caught in the
Middle of a railroad track
I looked round and I knew
There was no turning back

Jumping Jack Flash - Rolling Stones

Didn't you use this already? But unless my singing is way off kilter, it's definitely that. Somebody wasn't paying attention to an earlier game!

6. When I go out, yeah
I know I`m gonna be
I`m gonna be the man
Who goes along with you

I Will Be 100 Miles - Proclaimers

Or something like that. I really do like this song (which was used in a great bit in How I Met Your Mother) but I can never remember the exact title (stupid parentheticals). Do I get extra credit for knowing they were twins and one was named Charlie? And that they were Scottish?

7. Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face

25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago

Couldn't figure out wtf that meant then, still can't...

8. My girl's name is Senora
I tell you friends, I adore her
And when she dances, oh, brother
She's a hurricane in all kinds of weather

Shake Shake Senora - PItbull f/Ludacris, T-Pain...

and a bunch of other people not named Belafonte. Oh, yes he did....jump in da line! Hey, my Dwayne Carter krox the other day was based on The Banana Boat Song! Do I get Belafonte Bros bonus points???

9. In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they'd pass the hat

Creeque Alley - Mamas and the Papas

10. Day in, day out, all week long
Things go better with rock
The only time I turn it down
Is when I'm sleeping it off

Turn on the Radio - Autograph

So far, the only song that was actually on one of our road trip tapes. Although it was Due, not Primo. Shame on me for not going with my first instincts!

11. It hurts to see the man that I've become
And to know I'll never see the morning sunshine on the land

Indiana Wants Me - R Dean Taylor

12. Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

Radar Love - Golden Earring

Finally! A brother in road trip arms! I think we also had Lunatic Fringe....


Which song did I pick for this game?

Huh. I usually go with 9, but you would definitely not pick Creeque Alley for a road trip song. You've gone 4 so far, but a gentle Beatles tune? No.... I was just going to pick whichever one I didn't know, but looking back I think I got all of them, so there goes that... There's only a couple here that I would consider true road trip songs, so it's kind of a toss up between Steppenwolf and Golden Earring... I think we also had Steppenwolf, but I've never really cared that much for BttW (surprise), so it might have been Magic Carpet Ride. Therefore, I choose....

Radar Love!

Kroxquo Bonus: So, where are we headed to? Give me a song with artist that answers that question...

Viva Las Vegas - ZZ Top

Dammit, I was going to use what our opening song actually way (NAUGHTY NAUGHTY) and then you messed me up with the krox parameters. Damn, even though I'm in a hurry, good thing I managed to actually read the prompt. And, yes, I prefer the ZZ Top version....

Image Bonus: Look kids! What can we see out the window?

Judging from the weather today.... Sorry, kids, we ain't going nowhere!
