Lyrically Speaking - 1/31/25
Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2025 1:47 am
I may have canceled Tuesday Wordplay this year, but before doing that I did manage to come up with one full game... mainly because it was one of the few games (along with next Friday's) that I was actually working on mentally for the last few months of 2024 as I was listening to Mecca earworms at work. There's no sense wasting it, so I'll drop it as my first Free For All Friday game of 2025. All of the songs below have a certain word (not a super common one, obviously) that appears somewhere in all of their lyrics. I don't think this one will be that difficult to figure out, much like the six words I used last year. As usual with Friday games, this one is open until Monday morning...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the word...
1. The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me
2. But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
3. Jimmy quit, Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far
4. My hands were steady, my eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light
And I held firmly to what I felt was right
5. If she is bad, he can't see it,
She can do no wrong,
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
6. Different types who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat, perfect fits
7. And it kinda looks just like you
Mixed with Zach Galifianakis
8. The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who you are
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
You feel like a movie star
9. I tried to call you before but I lost my nerve
I tried my imagination but I was disturbed
10. There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time
I think about a love that I thought would save me
11. She sits alone, waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous, avoiding all the questions
12. Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
What word appears in the lyrics of all the above songs?
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that has the magic word of the day somewhere in the lyrics, but not title.
