Lyrically Speaking - 2/7/25
Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2025 4:00 am
Free For All Friday presents us a theme game I'd been mentally working on for a few months now. I'll go ahead and tell you right now that all of these songs are from the 1980's, and when I feature a lot of 80's songs, it's probably because the theme has something to do with music videos (Sorry Vandal, and anyone else who didn't want their MTV). The music videos for each of the songs below have something in common. I think my seasoned MTV pros will get this one rather easily, and maybe even those who only casually watched. For everyone else..... well, entertain me and there may be a supermax in it for ya!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme...
1. Hey little sister, who's your Superman?
Hey little sister, who's the one I want?
2. Oh, I want her
Shit, I got to have her
The girl is alright
She's alright
3. There goes my baby
She knows how to rock and roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
She leaves me in a cool, cool sweat
4. Slowly we make love
And the earth rotates
To our dictates
Slowly we make love
5. Er war ein Punker
Und er lebte in der großen Stadt
Es war in Wien, war Vienna
Wo er alles tat
6. Workin' so hard like a soldier
Can't afford a thing on TV
7. She's blinding, I'm flying
Right behind the rear-view mirror now
Got the feeling, power steering
Pistons popping, ain't no stopping now
8. Well, we found a little place that really didn't look that bad
I had a whisky on the rocks
And change of a dollar for the jukebox
9. Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar?
Yeah, I wanna go south and get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop or I'll go blind
10. And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
11. He got the voices speakin' riddles
He got the eye as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
12. Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
