Lyrically Speaking 2022 - Day 19
Lyrically Speaking 2022 - Day 19
July 21, 2020
Not really a Theme Thursday
Listen up, BBs. It's not Merryman Monday but I thought I would take over today's LS proceedings. Do any of you BBs have a problem with that?
I didn't think so.
Now as I was saying, today's challenge is to read the individual sets of lyrics below and determine the title from these lyrics. All of the songs mentioned below have military or war themes. Some of these are patriotic, some are anti-war, some poke fun at my beloved Marine Corp. Some you have heard a thousand times and had no idea it was a war song. That is because you are weak and played too many video games as a child.
Some lyrics will be difficult and will not know the song title. But you will carry on because you are BBs and BBs never give up.
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist
1. The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried, "We've got to hang on, boys!
We've got to hold this piece of ground"
I need a volunteer to ride up
And bring us back some extra men
2. And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for
Don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die, hey
3. Whistling tunes
We're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
4. The Eastern world, it is explodin'
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'?
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin'
5. Hit it
C'mon, ev'rybody's talking about
Ministers, sinisters, banisters and canisters
Bishops and Fishops and Rabbis and Popeyes and bye-bye, bye-byes
6. High on the roof, thin the blood
Another one came on the waves tonight
Comin' in, you're home
7. Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed light the light
Lady mercy won't be home tonight yeah
8. Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord?
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah
9. Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
10. There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
11. Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
12. Now, I don't mind chopping wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
You take what you need
And you leave the rest
But they should never
Have taken the very best

Lyrically Speaking 2022 - Day 19
July 21, 2020
Not really a Theme Thursday
Now as I was saying, today's challenge is to read the individual sets of lyrics below and determine the title from these lyrics. All of the songs mentioned below have military or war themes. Some of these are patriotic, some are anti-war, some poke fun at my beloved Marine Corp. Some you have heard a thousand times and had no idea it was a war song. That is because you are weak and played too many video games as a child.

Listen up, BBs. It's not Merryman Monday but I thought I would take over today's LS proceedings. Do any of you BBs have a problem with that?
I didn't think so.
Now as I was saying, today's challenge is to read the individual sets of lyrics below and determine the title from these lyrics. All of the songs mentioned below have military or war themes. Some of these are patriotic, some are anti-war, some poke fun at my beloved Marine Corp. Some you have heard a thousand times and had no idea it was a war song.

Some lyrics will be difficult and will not know the song title. But you will carry on because you are BBs and BBs never give up.
