Lyrically Speaking - 1/30/25
Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2025 2:11 am
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,
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that was a hit sometime around 1966.
Image Bonus: Show me something you might have seen on TV back in the 60's.
