Lyrically Speaking Special #3 - A Chorus Line
Posted: Fri Sep 06, 2024 6:46 am
Identify the following 100 songs and match them up into 50 pairs based on a Tangredi, or a principle you must discover for yourself. Parenthetical titles in songs are to be IGNORED for the purpose of this game.
This game should be much more accessible to everyone than my music videos game was. I also don't think the Tangredi is too difficult, but we'll see.....
1. Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares, they're always changing corporation names
2. But now I look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
3. Yeah, my, my such a sweet thing
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feeling
4. It was a night like this forty million years ago
I lit a cigarette, picked up a monkey skull to go
5. Something about you
Makes me want to keep on loving you
When I'm without you
I feel I need you back in my heart
6. Music's got me feeling so free
We're gonna celebrate
Celebrate and dance so free
7. People dancing all in the street
See the rhythm all in their feet
Life is good, wild and sweet
Let the music play on
8. She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one
9. You run, run, run away
It's your heart that you betray
Feeding on your hungry eyes
I bet you're not so civilized
10. When I look back, boy, I must have been green
Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream
11. She had sulky smile
She took her standard pose as she presented herself
She had sultry eyes
She made it perfectly plain that she was his for a price
12. There's a fire that's been burnin'
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
13. The shoe is on the hand, it fits
There's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit
14. When I was a little boy (When I was just a boy)
And the devil would call my name (When I was just a boy)
15. Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
16. And the beat's so loud
Deep inside
The pressure's high
Just to stay alive
17. It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
18. I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king-size tub, big enough for ten plus me
19. And whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine with a
Transistor radio
20. And I am feeling so small.
It was over my head
I know nothing at all.
And I will stumble and fall.
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl.
21. Sappy pathetic, little me
That was the girl I used to be
You had me on my knees
22. When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it, too
But how I cried over losing you
23. You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you
24. You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
25. So many promises
Never should be spoken
Now I know what loving you cost
Now we're up to talking divorce
And we weren't even married
26. I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide
27. All I know when I'm with you
You make me feel so good through and through
The way you walk and the way you talk
You always look so good, you make me forget my thoughts
28. Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
29. Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky
30. It used to be so easy livin' here with you
You were light and breezy, and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool
31. Getting over you was slow
They say old lovers can be good friends
But I never thought I'd really see you
I'd really see you again
32. Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
33. Time after time I gave you all of my money
No excuses to make
Ain't no mountain that I can't climb, baby
All is going my way
34. I guess I just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent
35. All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
36. Well you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise
But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice
37. I met a fan dancer
Down in Southside Birmingham
She was running from a fat man
Selling salvation in his hand
38. 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
39. I've packed my bags
I've cleaned the floor
Watch me walkin'
Walkin' out the door!
40. Same situation every day
Some kind of voodoo (some kind of voodoo)
Same complications
Stand in the way
Nowhere to run to (nowhere to run to)
41. Those crazy nights, I do remember in my youth
I do recall, those were the best times, most of all
In the heat with a blue jean girl
42. You can say anything you like
But you can't touch the merchandise
43. I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part
'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
44. I can make you dance, can make you sing
I can make you dance, I can make you sing
If you want me too
45. I think this time around
I am gonna do it
Like you never knew it
Oh, I'll make it through
46. Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handin' out the heartaches
You know you got to have you some
47. Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel
Go to sleep
48. Heavenly bound
Cause heaven's got a number
When she's spinning me around
Kissing is a color
49. Rags and riches, or so they say, you gotta
Keep pushing for the fortune and fame
You know it's, it's all a gamble when it's just a game
You treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doing their time
50. It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
51. Jennifer's got her daddy's car,
She's playing "Uptown" on the stereo
52. Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
53. I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
54. Knew you'd be a vision in white
How'd you get your pants so tight?
55. Kissing you was not what I had planned
And now I'm not so sure just where I stand
I wasn't looking for true love
But now you're looking at me
56. Now you're back
From outer space
And I find you here
With that sad look upon your face
57. Tommy's got his six string in hock, now he's holding in
When he used to make it talk so tough, ooh, it's tough
58. There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
59. Saw you stretched out in room ten o'nine
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye
Oh couldn't see to get a line on you
My sweet honey love
60. Now, no pu-pu-pu-pu-pump it up
And back it up like a Tonka truck
61. Rise up gather round
Rock this place to the ground
Burn it up, let's go for broke
Watch the night go up in smoke
62. I know your name is Rita
'Cause your perfume's smelling sweeter
63. She got a body like an hourglass
But I can give it to you all the time
She got a booty like a Cadillac
But I can send you into overdrive, oh
64. I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me?
Because I come from the land of plenty"
65. Slippin' away, sittin' on a pillow
Waitin' for night to fall
A girl and a dream, sittin' on a pillow
This is the night to go to the celebrity ball
66. Please baby can't you see
My mind's a burnin' hell
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart apart as well
67. Well, I went to a dance just the other night
Everybody there was dead
68. The moment that I step outside
So many reasons for me to run and hide
I can't do the little things I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things that I fear
69. Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have?
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse
70. Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous, then I'm through with you
71. All alone at the end of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman
Who might have loved me
I never knew
72. It took some time but I stopped thinkin' about you
Started livin' without you, now look who's back here
You've had a change of heart, well, mine just couldn't wait, no, no
You found out you loved me just a little too late
73. When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
74. Father Mackenziе
Writing the words of a sermon
That no one will hеar no one comes near
75. No more runnin' down the wrong road
Dancin' to a diff'rent drum
Can't you see what's goin' on
Deep inside your heart
76. When you snap your finger or wink your eye
I come a-running to you
77. hey girl, in your eyes
I see a picture of me all the time
and girl, when you smile
You got to know that you drive me wild
78. Why in the world would anybody put chains on me, yeah?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it
79. The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it
80. Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
81. I got lotsa style, check my gold diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what I mean
82. The mountain is high
The valley is low
And you're confused on which way to go
83. Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
84. Boys will be boys, better let them have their toys
Girls will be girls, cute ponytails and curls
85. Workin' like a dog
For the boss man (whoa)
Workin' for the company (whoa, yeah)
Bettin' on the dice
I'm tossin' (whoa)
I'm gonna have a fantasy (whoa, yeah)
86. People talk about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
Well, don't you worry, baby, don't worry
'Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home
87. We walked together hand in hand
'cross miles and miles of golden sand
But now it's over and done
88. I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
And I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey
89. Well, pick you up at ten, gotta have you home at two
Mama don't know what I catched off of you
But that's all right 'cause we're looking as cool as can be
90. It's been a long time since The Book of Love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
Carry me back, carry me back
Carry me back, baby, where I come from
91. The bitch is hungry, she needs to tell
So give her inches and feed her well
92. You're making me go
Then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way
Or am I the best thing you've had?
93. That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinkin' of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue
94. Whatcha tryin' to do to my heart
Whatcha tryin' to do to my heart
You go around, tellin' lies, and now you wanna compromise
Whatcha tryin' to do to my heart
95. I feel the night explode
When we're together
Emotion overload
In the heat of pleasure
96. And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his bow
97. All we need is a drummer
For people who only need a beat, yeah
98. Well now way back in the Bible
Temptations always come along
There's always somebody tempting
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong
99. I just can't believe
The loveliness of loving you
I just can't believe it's true
100. Now I know that I had to borrow
Beg and steal and lie and cheat
Tryna keep ya, tryna please ya
'Cause being in love with your ass ain't cheap
This game should be much more accessible to everyone than my music videos game was. I also don't think the Tangredi is too difficult, but we'll see.....
