Lyrically Speaking - 2/27/24
Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2024 8:20 am
If anyone should be getting prescient points in the LSWE, it should be me for scheduling this game for what's shaping up to be a very rare 80+ degree day in February!
But of course, with this being the Midwest, it's possible I'll be scraping snow off my car when I get off work in the morning. From take off your shirt early summer weather to wind chills in the teens in just a few hours. If you don't like the weather, just wait and it'll change....
Oh yeah, the game. This is the final Tuesday Hidden Wordplay of the season, and the key word that can be found in the lyrics to all of these songs is a fitting one for today...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
Leave the BOLDED word in #2 BOLDED if you cut and paste!
1. Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day
A bronze man still can tell stories his own way
Listen children all is not lost
All is not lost, oh no, no
2. When I was just a little boy
Standin' to my Daddy's knee
My Papa said "Son, don't let the man get you
And do what he done to me?
3. Remember dancin' at the high school hop?
The dress I ruined with the soda pop?
I didn't recognize the girl next door
With beat up sneakers and a ponytail
4. Looking around the house
Hidden behind the window and the door
Searching for signs of life, but there's nobody home
5. Pour me somethin' tall an' strong
Make it a Hurricane before I go insane
6. Things are okay with me these days
Got a good job, I got a good office
I got a new wife, got a new life
And the family's fine
7. From the park I hear rhythms
Marley's hot on the box
Tonight there will be a party
On the corner at the end of the block
8. Well, he must've thought that it was quite a joke
And I got a lot of laughs from a lots of folk
Seems I had to fight my whole life through
9. Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
10. Each time I find myself
Flat on my face
I pick myself up and get
Back in the race
11. Mirror, mirror on the wall
Shovel chestnuts in my path
Just keep all nuts twistin' up
So I don't get an aftermath
12. Jennifer's got her daddy's car,
She's playing "Uptown" on the stereo
We go cruisin' so close,
The way they did long ago
What is the key word of the day? (3 points)
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that has the key word of the day somewhere in the lyrics, but not the title.
