Lyrically Speaking - 1/9/23

Welcome everyone to the 2023 LSWE! I guess I should start off by apologizing for not running LS last year after fourteen straight winters of musical fun.... but I guess I can make up for that oversight by making the theme of the first game the 12 best songs of 2022!!!! Yes, I'm sure you know all these great hits, and......
Wait..... why all the long faces?
Oh. Bad idea?
OK, how about I compromise. All 12 songs in this game were released in a year ending with a 2! Every xxx2 year beginning with 1962 and yes, including last year is represented by at least one song here. Good luck!
1 point for the artist, 1 point for the title, 1 point for the year it was released that ends in a 2....
1. I like 'em round, and big
And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
2. Other fellas
Call me up for a date
But I just sit and wait
I'd rather concentrate
3. Oh, let it rock, let it roll
Let the bible belt come and save my soul
4. If you're feelin' down
I just wanna make you happier, baby
Wish I was around
I just wanna make you happier, baby
5. Bright lights, the music gets faster
Look, boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey, not a chance
6. Hey baby, won't you look my way?
I can be your new addiction
Hey baby, what you gotta say?
All you're giving me is fiction
7. People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
8. Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
9. Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throw out your frown
And just smile at the sound
Sleek as a shriek, spinning 'round and 'round
10. Your stare was holdin'
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
11. But I love you best
It's not something that I say in jest
'Cause you're different, girl, from all the rest
In my eyes
12. Don't want a four leaf clover
Don't want an old horseshoe

- I hope this works - it's supposed to be the Coliseum, construction started in AD72.
