Lyrically Speaking - 2/26/24
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
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist whose title or artist begins with the letter P (5 points if both begin with P).
Image Bonus: Today's Image Bonus is brought to you by the letter P.

I used a double wordy-durdy in Song #9, so keep BOTH bolded words bolded to avoid the dreaded Internal Server Error!
You could have not bothered and picked a song I knew instead....
1. Now I've been smiling lately
Thinkin' about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
Peace Train - Cat Stevens
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
Talk Dirty To Me - Poison
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)
Party All the Time - Eddie Murphy
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
Things they would not teach me of in college
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

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!

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.littlebeast13 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 8:52 amJJC Points:
