Game #212: Canned Music
Game #212: Canned Music
Identify the 85 songs below. Then, match them into 5 quartets, 9 trios, 20 duets, and 5 solos according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Seven songs will be used twice.
No song will be matched with itself. As for the Tangredi, there are some variations to it. Just like in real life.
1. I have seen Him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps,
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps.
2. I chew my nails and then I twiddle my thumbs,
I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun.
3. I play alone while rushing 'cross the forest,
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon.
4. They call her name at 7:30.
I pace around the parking lot
And I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got.
5. Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away?
I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost,
Baby, I'm lost
6. She take my money when I'm in need,
Yeah, she's a triflin' friend indeed.
7. Now it's hard for me
With my heart still on the mend.
Open up to me, like you do your girlfriends.
8. Here's to you
Raise a glass for everyone.
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun.
9. Deep in the dark, your kiss will thrill me
Like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me
With dreams untold.
10. There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to ev'ryone.
11. And a happy couple enters the bar,
Dangerously close to one another.
The bartender looks up from his want ads.
12. Your sweet loving
Is better than a kiss.
When you leave me
Sweet kisses I miss.
13. Ethnic jokes might be uncouth,
But you laugh because they're based on truth.
Don't take them as personal attacks.
Everyone enjoys them, so relax!
14. Skeeters started buzzin' 'bout this time a-year,
I'm goin' 'round back, said she'd meet me there.
We were rollin' in the grass grows behind the barn
When my ears started ringin' like a fire alarm.
15. Mama done chase _____ down through the hall
But laugh, _____ laugh, he don't care at all.
15. Mama done chase _____ down through the hall
But laugh, _____ laugh, he don't care at all.
16. Yeah, it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two,
But I can shake it, shake it, like I'm supposed to do
'Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase,
And all the right junk in all the right places.
17. Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue,
Thought I heard you talking softly,
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still, I can't escape the ghost of you.
18. I'm so three thousand and eight,
You so two thousand and late.
19. There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore,
Where the brave are free and lovers soar.
Come ride with me to the distant shore.
20. As long as you're groovin'
There's always a chance
Somebody watchin'
Might wanna make romance.
21. Here's your ticket, pack your bags,
Time for jumpin' overboard,
Transportation is here.
Close enough but not too far,
Maybe you know where you are,
Fightin' fire with fire.
22. You see dimensions in two.
State your case with black or white,
But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth,
You run for cover so discreet.
23. Well, the weeks went by and spring turned to summer
And summer faded into fall
And it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all.
24. I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry,
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie.
25. There's a giant doin' cartwheels,
A statue wearin' high heels,
Look at all the happy creatures dancin' on the lawn.
26. After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you,
I promise to.
And after all that's been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go.
27. We sweat and laugh and scream here
'Cause life is just a dream here.
You know inside you feel right at home here.
28. You're the key I'm dreamin' of,
For it just had to be you,
Girl I know this time
I'll make all my dreams come true.
29. Grab your coat and get your hat,
Leave your worries on the doorstep.
30. Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand,
In Philadelphia, P.A.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay.
31. You've got a sweet disposition,
So come on and give me permission
For one kiss and maybe another.
You'll see we were meant for each other.
32. Oh, my child,
You'll never know
Just what you mean to me.
Oh, my child,
You got so much
You're gonna take away my energy.
33. There's a little green frog, swimming in the water,
A little green frog, doing what he oughta.
34. Oceans apart, day after day,
And I slowly go insane.
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain.
35. Do you ask why I’m sighing, my son?
You shall inherit what mankind has done
In a world filled with sorrow and woe.
If you ask me why this is so,
I really don’t know.
36. I will never love you,
The cost of love's too dear,
But though I'll never love you
I'll stay with you one year.
37. Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive,
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive.
38. Now I've been smiling lately
Thinkin' about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun.
39. Just a breeze will muss your hair,
But you smile away each little care
And if the rain should make you blue,
You say tomorrow is a new.
40. I've been to Nice
And the isles of Greece
When I sipped champagne on a yacht.
I moved like Harlow
In Monte Carlo
And showed them what I've got.
41. Our town was peaceful and quiet
Before she came on the scene.
The lady has started a riot,
Disturbing the suburban routine.
42. What d'yer think you're gonna do?
I got a flash right from the start.
Wake up, meathead,
Don't pretend that you are dead,
Get yourself up off the cart.
43. Well, I've played this game with other hearts, but I never thought I'd see
The day that someone else would play love's foolish game with me.
44. Everybody's been knowing
To a wedding they're going
And for weeks they've been sewing,
Every Susie and Sal.
45. You know she was a dancer,
She moved better on wine.
While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine.
46. I'll hold on to you
Until the mountains crumble flat,
I'll hold on to you
Until you figure out
Just where you're at.
47. The childhood part of my life wasn't very pretty.
See, I was born and raised in the slums of the city.
It was a one-room shack that slept ten other children beside me.
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep.
48. Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forever more,
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.
49. Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car,
Penny a point, ain't no one keepin' score.
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor.
50. Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be.
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without.
51. See I've been watchin' you
And I like the way you move,
So go ahead, girl, just do
That ass-shakin' thing you do.
52. A human heart goes out tonight,
Yes, a red hot love on a red stop light.
I see a scene so cold it echoes in blue.
Oh, those twisting tongues, they are after you.
53. Look at this face, I know the years are showing.
Look at this life, I still don't know where it's going.
54. Sometimes you're better off dead,
There's a gun in your hand it's pointing at your head,
You think you're mad, too unstable,
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables.
55. I was scared, I was scared,
Tired and underprepared,
But I'll wait for it.
If you go, if you go,
Leave me down here on my own,
Then I'll wait for you.
56. I'm going, I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine,
I'm going where the water tastes like wine,
We can jump in the water,
Stay drunk all the time.
57. All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado,
Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear.
But as the sun goes down,
I get that empty feeling again.
How I wish to God that you were here.
58. Darlin', don't say a word,
'Cause I already heard
What your body's sayin' to mine.
If I want it all night,
You say it's alright,
We got the time.
59. Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze.
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase.
60. Communication is the problem to the answer.
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone.
The weather's turned and all the lines are down.
61. Yes, she caught my eye
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was
F**king high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again
But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end.
62. It happens every day
No matter what you say,
You'll find it happens all the time.
Love will never do what you want it to.
Why can't this crazy love be mine?
63. There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own.
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner,
For there's no hiding place against the Kingdom's Throne.
64. So many stormy nights,
So many wrong or rights,
Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage
They turn another page.
The fighting is worth the love they save.
65. Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down.
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free.
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key.
66. I took my baby to the pizza parlor
To get a bite to eat.
I put some money in the jukebox for her,
You know she ate her pizza dancing to the beat.
67. I'm feelin' kind of n-a-s-t-y, I just might take you home with me
Baby the minute I feel your energy,
Your vibe's just taken over me,
Start feelin' so crazy babe
Lately, I feel the funk coming over me.
68. I remember Dan,
The druggist on the corner, he
Was never mean or ornery,
He was swell.
He killed his mother-in-law and ground her up real well
And sprinkled just a bit
Over each banana split.
69. Bittersweet and strange,
Finding you can change,
Learning you were wrong.
70. If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
71. You say I'm a dreamer.
We're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find.
72. I thought that our romance was over and done,
But to her it had just begun.
73. "Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick,
The one that makes me scream,” she said,
"The one that makes me laugh,” she said
And threw her arms around my neck.
74. I step off the train,
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door,
But you don't live there anymore.
It's years since you've been there,
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space.
You've found some better place.
75. You are a genie
And all I ask for is your smile
Each time I rub the lamp.
When I am with you
I have a giggling teenage crush,
Then I'm a sultry vamp, yeah, sultry vamp.
76. When we learned how to kiss and cuss and fight, too.
Better watch out for the boys in blue
And all this small town ‘he-said-she-said.’
Ain't it funny how rumors spread?
77. So if you've got someone whose love is true
Let it shine for you.
78. I hope them cigarettes are gonna make you cough,
I hope you hear this song and it pisses you off.
79. She says that she's never afraid,
Just picture everybody naked.
She really doesn't like to wait,
Not really into hesitation.
80. Oh, baby, let me be
Around you every night,
Run your fingers through my hair
And cuddle me real tight.
81. Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men
Who need more than they get.
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman
Who has laid too many bets.
82. She was the same as a hundred ladies
But when my eyes looked at her, I learned
That she was keepin' a secret fire
And if I got real close, I'd burn.
83. The rumble of a subway train,
The rattle of the taxis,
The daffodils who entertain
At Angelo's and Maxi's.
84. What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine, I got rain.
85. But I know the reason why you keep this silence up.
No, you don't fool me.
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows,
It's no stranger to you and me.

Re: Game #212: Canned Music
14. Skeeters started buzzin' 'bout this time a-year,

See, I was born and raised in the slums of the city.
It was a one-room shack that slept ten other children beside me.
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep.
CLOUD NINE - THE TEMPTATIONS
48. Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forever more,
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.
FLY ME TO THE MOON (IN OTHER WORDS)
49. Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car,
Penny a point, ain't no one keepin' score.
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor.
CITY OF NEW ORLEANS - ARLO GUTHRIE
50. Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be.
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without.
TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR - TAYLOR SWIFT
51. See I've been watchin' you
And I like the way you move,
So go ahead, girl, just do
That ass-shakin' thing you do.

Yes, a red hot love on a red stop light.
I see a scene so cold it echoes in blue.
Oh, those twisting tongues, they are after you.
DON’T NEED A GUN - BILLY IDOL
53. Look at this face, I know the years are showing.
Look at this life, I still don't know where it's going.
DON'T KNOW MUCH - LINDA RONSTADT AND AARON NEVILLE
54. Sometimes you're better off dead,
There's a gun in your hand it's pointing at your head,
You think you're mad, too unstable,
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables.
WEST END GIRLS - PET SHOP BOYS
55. I was scared, I was scared,
Tired and underprepared,
But I'll wait for it.
If you go, if you go,
Leave me down here on my own,
Then I'll wait for you.
IN MY PLACE - COLDPLAY
56. I'm going, I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine,
I'm going where the water tastes like wine,
We can jump in the water,
Stay drunk all the time.
GOING UP THE COUNTRY - CANNED HEAT
57. All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado,
Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear.
But as the sun goes down,
I get that empty feeling again.
How I wish to God that you were here.
BABY COME BACK - PLAYER
58. Darlin', don't say a word,
'Cause I already heard
What your body's sayin' to mine.
If I want it all night,
You say it's alright,
We got the time.
SLOW HAND - THE POINTER SISTERS
59. Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze.
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase.

You've got her number and your hand is on the phone.
The weather's turned and all the lines are down.
THE THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE - 10CC
61. Yes, she caught my eye
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was
F**king high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again
But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end.
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL - JAMES BLOUNT
62. It happens every day
No matter what you say,
You'll find it happens all the time.
Love will never do what you want it to.
Why can't this crazy love be mine?
IT'S NOT UNUSUAL - TOM JONES
63. There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own.
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner,
For there's no hiding place against the Kingdom's Throne.
PEOPLE GET READY - CURTIS MAYFIELD/THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS/THE IMPRESSIONS/JEFF BECK AND ROD STEWART
64. So many stormy nights,
So many wrong or rights,
Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage
They turn another page.
The fighting is worth the love they save.
WHO'S CRYIN' NOW - JOURNEY
65. Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down.
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free.
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key.

66. I took my baby to the pizza parlor
To get a bite to eat.
I put some money in the jukebox for her,
You know she ate her pizza dancing to the beat.
BOOGIE FEVER - SYLVERS
67. I'm feelin' kind of n-a-s-t-y, I just might take you home with me
Baby the minute I feel your energy,
Your vibe's just taken over me,
Start feelin' so crazy babe
Lately, I feel the funk coming over me.
68. I remember Dan,
The druggist on the corner, he
Was never mean or ornery,
He was swell.
He killed his mother-in-law and ground her up real well
And sprinkled just a bit
Over each banana split.
MY HOME TOWN - TOM LEHRER
69. Bittersweet and strange,
Finding you can change,
Learning you were wrong.
70. If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
TAKE A CHANCE ON ME - ABBA
71. You say I'm a dreamer.
We're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find.

But to her it had just begun.
SHE CRIED - JAY AND THE AMERICANS

The one that makes me scream,” she said,
"The one that makes me laugh,” she said
And threw her arms around my neck.
JUST LIKE HEAVEN - CURE
74. I step off the train,
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door,
But you don't live there anymore.
It's years since you've been there,
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space.
You've found some better place.
75. You are a genie
And all I ask for is your smile
Each time I rub the lamp.
When I am with you
I have a giggling teenage crush,
Then I'm a sultry vamp, yeah, sultry vamp.
POETRY MAN - PHOEBE SNOW
76. When we learned how to kiss and cuss and fight, too.
Better watch out for the boys in blue
And all this small town ‘he-said-she-said.’
Ain't it funny how rumors spread?
77. So if you've got someone whose love is true
Let it shine for you.
THIS DIAMOND RING - GARY LEWIS AND THE PLAYBOYS
78. I hope them cigarettes are gonna make you cough,
I hope you hear this song and it pisses you off.
LITTLE MISS CAN'T BE WRONG - SPIN DOCTORS
79. She says that she's never afraid,
Just picture everybody naked.
She really doesn't like to wait,
Not really into hesitation.
80. Oh, baby, let me be
Around you every night,
Run your fingers through my hair
And cuddle me real tight.
TEDDY BEAR - ELVIS
81. Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men
Who need more than they get.
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman
Who has laid too many bets.
82. She was the same as a hundred ladies
But when my eyes looked at her, I learned
That she was keepin' a secret fire
And if I got real close, I'd burn.
EBONY EYES - BOB WELCH
83. The rumble of a subway train,
The rattle of the taxis,
The daffodils who entertain
At Angelo's and Maxi's.
LULLABY OF BROADWAY
84. What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine, I got rain.
I'M A BELIEVER - THE MONKEES

No, you don't fool me.
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows,
It's no stranger to you and me.

Re: Game #212: Canned Music
20. As long as you're groovin'
There's always a chance
Somebody watchin'
Might wanna make romance.
WHAT'S GOIN' ON - MARVIN GAYE
This is the incorrect title with the correct artist. I didn't think those lyrics matched the theme of the song....
GOT TO GIVE IT UP - MARVIN GAYE

Re: Game #212: Canned Music
And since there's only one ? song, this must be the other incorrect title....
6. She take my money when I'm in need,
Yeah, she's a triflin' friend indeed.
MATILDA - HARRY BELAFONTE?
GOLD DIGGER - KANYE WEST
Talk about a contrast in styles!
And that should finish off the list of songs now.....
