Lyrically Speaking - 2/12/21

Way back in early January, I thought I would hate myself for tacking an extra week on to this year's LSWE, given how I've struggled in past years to have games ready before the morning they were to be posted. But that really wasn't much of an issue this year at all! But now that I've evened out the odd year that was the inaugural LSWE, making this my 450th contribution to this Bored institution, I'll definitely be keeping the contest to multiples of 25 in the future. And don't expect a classic 50 game contest anytime soon!
So, here's the final installment of Player Choice Fridays, where I asked you to submit a favorite and least favorite song. Not only did you all manage to pick songs I haven't used yet this year.... but there's only one repeat artist in this game to boot! This is going to be a whopper of a point game too.... not just because there's 26 songs, but I want you to tell me whether each song was submitted as a favorite or least favorite for an extra point each! And if you think that's going to be obvious..... well, I'll warn you it's not! I was surprised by some of these choices.... but hey, everyone thinks my faves and unfaves stink too! And of course, I did add my own for each side of the coin.... and to get the full 5 points each for identifying them, you have to know whether they were my favorite or least favorite!
Before I give the lowdown on the points for this game, I'd like to thank everyone for playing this year! It was a small, but very loyal group who never ceased to surprise and entertain me this year! I look forward to doing this again in January 2022...
Alrighty then....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 1 point for identifying whether each song was a fave or not fave, 5 points each for identifying the fave and not fave songs I added to this game....
1. You could have a big dipper
Going up and down
All around the bends
2. Living easy, loving free
Season ticket on a one way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
3. Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak.
4. So please believe me
My heart is in your hands
And I'll be missing you
5. And if I can't hold you in my arms
It just wouldn't be fair
6. Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Paying anything to roll the dice just one more time
7. The others were untrue
But when it came to loving you
I'd spend my whole life with you
8. Watching, I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
9. Oh but, just now, you said
You literally couldn't get out of bed
That really makes me want to literally
Smack a crowbar upside your stupid head
10. Jeder war ein grosser Krieger
Hielten sich fuer Captain Kirk
11. I have always thought
That it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
12. Unsealed, on a porch
A letter sat
Then you said
I wanna leave it again
13. Toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just
Like our fathers
14. Went to a party the other night
All the ladies were treating me right
Moving my feet to the disco beat
How in the world could I keep my seat
15. Hail (Hail), what's the matter with your head, yeah
Hail (Hail), what's the matter with your mind and your sign
16. I put gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Hold me tighter than my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drink in my cup
I could care less what you think
17. Did you ever really need somebody
And really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody
The best love you ever had
18. Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy
But everything gon' be alright
Go and raise a glass and say, ayy
19. Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you've got another man
But I can love you better than him
20. I do believe in you
And I know you believe in me
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
21. Oh, sugar, where've you been
Hangin' out with your male friends
Listen, somebody's gonna hurt you
The way you love to keep hurtin' me
22. Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize
That I would know, I would show
23. You, you talk about just every band
But the names you drop are second hand
I`ve heard it all before
24. Well, another crazy day
You drink the night away
And forget about everything
25. Now, here I go again I see the crystal vision
I keep my visions to myself
26. There ain't no danger we can go too far
We start believing now that we can be who we are
Which song did I submit as a favorite?
Which song did I submit as a least favorite?
Kroxquo Bonus: Name a song with artist that's just...... meh.
Image Bonus: Uh oh! It looks like I've strip mined the JJC point supply after thirteen years! What am I going to have to give out in next year's LSWE as extra rewards?
