Lyrically Speaking - 2/26/24

[littlebeast13]

What? Is it already the final week of the 2024 LSWE? Could've been worse, since I rarely tack on a sixth week to the contest, but for 2024 you get a leap week! And so here is the sixth and final Sesame Street Monday for the contest, brought to us this time by the letter P! Odd numbered songs are P titles, and even numbered songs are P artists, but you knew that already, right? Unless you're new, in which case, welcome to the LSWE!!!!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...

I used a double wordy-durdy in Song #9, so keep BOTH bolded words bolded to avoid the dreaded Internal Server Error!


1. Now I've been smiling lately
Thinkin' about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun

2. You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too

3. Girl, I can't understand it, why you want to hurt me
After all the things I've done for you
I buy you champagne and roses, put diamonds on your finger
(Diamonds on your finger)

4. I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college

5. And now you're punching, and you're kicking, and you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common decency

6. You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don't get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me
Go

7. It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand

8. The waiter just took my table
And gave it to Jessica Simps, shit
I guess I'll go sit with drum boy
At least he'll know how to hit

9. The meanings get lost, and the teachings get tossed
And you don't know what you're gonna do next
You wait for the sun but it never quite comes

10. Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning

11. It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember

12. Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble, it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

Is My Girl Wants to a parenthetical? If so, is there some rule about a leading parenthetical?

4. I have only come here seeking knowledge

Police

You've been using their asses all LSWE (and I know like two songs by them), so I'm sure they're in here somewhere.

5. And now you're punching, and you're kicking, and you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common decency

So What - Diamond Lil (and Pink)

I could swear that it was sit with Tom boy! I can't find my damned Funhouse CD (I think it's in ol' Mary Jean and it's late and cold) to see if there are printed lyrics, but there's a whole damned booklet in the Greatest Hits So Far case and it doesn't have any damned lyrics printed! I guess I could look on the internet, but I don't trust any lyrics to be right on the internet. After this I'll have to devote some time to see if Pink herself has a lyrics site. Or watch the DVD that came with GHSF and see if I can read her lips...

9. The meanings get lost, and the teachings get tossed
And you don't know what you're gonna do next
You wait for the sun but it never quite comes

Police Song - Police

Without the P prompt, I'm not sure I would have remembered the group

11. It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember

Papa Was a Rolling Stone - Temptations

As opposed to the third of June, which was kind of a bad day for Billie Joe....

Not to be confused with Phil Philips. This is the only song I know by him (did he have any others?) but I really like it. Nifty chord progression

Paisley Park - Prince

I'm assuming the Van Morrison Rule doesn't apply here. I was going to krox Pause by Pitbull, but on the off chance I get an extra point for the Triple, gotta go with His Royal Badness. Speaking of extra points, did you ever credit me for those Bo Donaldsonn points (in addition to the penalty point for you just ASSuming in the first place?

Points:

Pickled PEPPERS, thank you. As in Peter Piper picked a peck of them. I tried three other links that showed a little better connection, but all three of them had that "three full screens of garbage characters" thing that makes me madder every time. Anybody found a workaround for those? I can't use anything from Youtube, Pinterest, or amazon because of it.
