Lyrically Speaking - 1/30/25

Thursday's games will all feature music from a certain random year in each decade, and we start off with the 1960's for which the fascinating year 1966 came out of the mix. All of the songs below were released in, or were big hits in 1966. I'd love to tell you my own personal memories of the year, but my parents were busy being sixth graders at the time. And I do know this is the birth year for at least one of my players....

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


1. You know the preacher like the cold (preacher like the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)

2. Every boy wants a girl
He can trust to the very end
Baby, that's you
Won't you wait but 'til then?

3. They'll stone you when you're trying to make a buck
They'll stone you and then they'll say good luck

4. I said baby (Baby)
Now it's for sure (It's for sure)
I got the fever, yeah
And you got the cure (Got the cure)

5. I have always thought
That it's a crime
So I will ask you once again

6. You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs

7. You
With your masquerading, and you
Always contemplating what to do
In case heaven has found you
Can't you see
That it's all around you

8. (Breaking up) I wish you never said it
(Breaking up) no-no, we'll both regret it

9. Now I know he's the guy who put tears in my eyes
A thousand times or more
Oh, but ev'rytime he would apologize
I loved him more than before

10. And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be

11. You never care for secrets I confide
For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give

12. You thought it was a joke,
and so you laughed, you laughed!
When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid,

I loved him more than before

10. And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be

11. You never care for secrets I confide
For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give

12. You thought it was a joke,
and so you laughed, you laughed!
When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid,

Thursday's games will all feature music from a certain random year in each decade, and we start off with the 1960's for which the fascinating year 1966 came out of the mix. All of the songs below were released in, or were big hits in 1966. I'd love to tell you my own personal memories of the year, but my parents were busy being sixth graders at the time. And I do know this is the birth year for at least one of my players....

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


1. You know the preacher like the cold (preacher like the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)

2. Every boy wants a girl
He can trust to the very end
Baby, that's you
Won't you wait but 'til then?

"Lightning Strikes" - Lou Christie

3. They'll stone you when you're trying to make a buck
They'll stone you and then they'll say good luck

4. I said baby (Baby)
Now it's for sure (It's for sure)
I got the fever, yeah
And you got the cure (Got the cure)

"Good Lovin'" - The Rascals

5. I have always thought
That it's a crime
So I will ask you once again

6. You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs

7. You
With your masquerading, and you
Always contemplating what to do
In case heaven has found you
Can't you see
That it's all around you

8. (Breaking up) I wish you never said it
(Breaking up) no-no, we'll both regret it

"Let's Hang On" - The Four Seasons

9. Now I know he's the guy who put tears in my eyes
A thousand times or more
Oh, but ev'rytime he would apologize
I loved him more than before

10. And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be

11. You never care for secrets I confide
For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give

12. You thought it was a joke,
and so you laughed, you laughed!
When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid,

"They're Coming to Take Me Away" - Napoleon XIV

Not a great showing, but in my defense, most of the songs I listened to in 1966 probably involved nursery rhymes. Was I by chance the person you referenced in your intro?

Lightnin' Strikes - Lou Christie

They'll stone you and then they'll say good luck
Rainy Day Women 12 & 35 - Bob Dylan (You didn't have to have the correct numbers, or even any at all. But you had to have Rainy Day Women. And you also had to have Bob Dylan to get artist credit, which cost two players a point...)

4. I said baby (Baby)
Now it's for sure (It's for sure)

Good Lovin' - Young Rascals

That it's all around you
The Pied Piper - Crispian St. Peters

8. (Breaking up) I wish you never said it
(Breaking up) no-no, we'll both regret it
Let's Hang On - The Four Seasons (I take back what I said a while back about 60's Frankie Valli all being ass, this one's pretty good...)

9. Now I know he's the guy who put tears in my eyes
A thousand times or more
Oh, but ev'rytime he would apologize
I loved him more than before
Don't Mess With Bill - Marvelettes (Yeah, I'm a badass like that....)

Homeward Bound - Simon & Garfunkel

11. You never care for secrets I confide
For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give
Red Rubber Ball - The Cyrkle (One of those LSWE songs that reminds me of Starfish, but I doubt we'll see him return a la elwood and Search...)

12. You thought it was a joke,
and so you laughed, you laughed!
When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid,
They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Ha! - Napoleon XIV (Again, I didn't stress on the number as long as you had Napoleon. Is this song really about a dog like I read? That's even nuttier than the song...)


Image Bonus: Show me something you might have seen on TV back in the 60's.

Many interesting 60's shows (and one 70's show), a large number of which I'd never watched or even knew existed. I'm awarding the IBB to Vandal for the Captain's log. I think he might've won an IBB for that before, but what the hell...

JJC Points:


frank gets 2 JJC points for one of the dumbest shows ever (WTG Jerry Van Dyke for turning down Gilligan for this claptrap!)

mrk gets 3 JJC points for Land of the Lost, which debuted in 1974. It's OK, the Image Bonus is mostly for fun, and I gave him the 5 points anyway...

BiT gets a supermax for Everybody Must Get High, and the Captain not holding his log...

ear gets 2 JJC points for the crew watching everyone play LSWE...

Krox gets 2 JJC points for intimate relations with aliens...

Panic gets a JJC point for impossible missions (I played a futuristic spy themed Nintendo game back in the day called Impossible Mission. Yeah, I guess that'll keep you from getting sued...)

jarnon gets a JJC point for copying off Krox's paper (maybe I should add Kopy Kat points to the LSWE, make it like the Match Game)....

melly gets 2 JJC points for Cool Jerk on repeat, and being a Bob Dylan away from a perfect game...

elwood gets 3 JJC points for questions that matter...

mikeh gets 3 JJC points for the smoking ad I was expecting a few people to reference...

Bob gets 2 JJC points for a show I'd never heard of before and had to look up...

Search gets 2 JJC points for nursery rhymes and Dark Shadows, and being a 1966 baby (not the one I was thinking of, but good to see there was a class of two!)...

Vandal gets 3 JJC points for what William Shatner gets when he watches himself act...

Hottie gets 2 JJC points for being Old AF...

Earl gets 3 JJC Pantera points for past consideration, TWLEVE, THIRTY FIVE and !(th nervous breakdown, and is lucky I was dragging ass enough this morning to take a nap....

Yeah, I was so busy concentrating on trying to get my stupid computer to type numbers, how about you?

You know, I think I forgot to put Dylan on a previous LSWE game and lost a point. Maybe I just think the Dylan should be implied? Ha!
