Lyrically Speaking - 1/28/25
Posted: Tue Jan 28, 2025 7:46 am
Those of you expecting a Tuesday Wordplay game today will be sorely disappointed... though you'll get used to that before long. I'm doing musical groups by number of members for Tuesdays this year, and we're starting off with duos. Let me repeat, DUOs, not to be confused with DUETs, which is two independent artists getting together to jam out a song or two. These are all music groups or established partnerships that have just two primary members. Please don't blow your Krox confusing the two...
Monday's game is still open if you missed it. Both that game and this one will close tomorrow morning...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
2. Walking like a man
Hitting like a hammer
She's a juvenile scam
Never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop
3. But something's bugging me
Something ain't right
My best friend told me
What you did last night
4. She'll only come out at night
The lean and hungry type
5. You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
6. I said, "This isn't Sha Na Na, come on Mom, I'm not Bowzer
Mom, please put back the bell-bottom Brady Bunch trousers"
7. Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls
And we are never heard
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely world
8. I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
Want to dive into your ocean
9. Young and beautiful
But someday your looks will be gone
When the others turn you off
Who'll be turning you on?
10. Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you
Who do you think you are?
Ha-ha-ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control
11. "How'd you like to be a star?"
"You're a girl that could go far"
"Specially dressed the way you are
12. The bartender asks me, say, "Son what'll it be"
I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that was done by a DUO.
Image Bonus: It takes two to make a thing go right...
