Lyrically Speaking - 2/11/21
Posted: Wed Feb 10, 2021 11:18 pm
It's the penultimate game of the 2021 LSWE... so why not celebrate it with the penultimate letter of the alphabet, good ol' Y. Stuck in the second to last spot in the alphabet, Y is the transgender of letters who can't decide if it's a consonant or a vowel. It's also not a letter a lot of song titles start with, short of a very common second person pronoun. I challenged myself to fill out a game of songs whose titles begin with 12 different Y words, which wasn't easy since my old lyrics site I used to use that listed songs by letter bit the dust last year.... but here it is!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. No man, does it all by himself
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf
2. Don't let them put you down, don't let 'em push you around,
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view.
3. But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile
4. I don't even know
How to love you
Just the way you
Want me to, oh, baby
5. In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
6. I was up in the club wit my homies
Trying to get a lil V-I
Keep it down on the low key
7. We walked together hand in hand
Cross miles and miles of golden sand
But now it's over and done
8. Well, it's a doggone shame but never too late for change
So if your luck runs low
Just reach out and call His name, His name
9. She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow till your sense of
Which direction completely disappears
10. Well, guess who`s
Back in circulation
Now I don`t know what
You might have heard
But what I need right now
Is the original good time girl
11. Anyway, the thing, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
12. Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist whose title begins with the letter Y, without re-using a Y-word in any song you identified above!
