Lyrically Speaking - 2/14/25

For Free For All Friday, here's another one of those themes that occurs to me from time to time while listening to the muzak at work all night, and one I'm pretty sure I haven't done before...

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme (I'll be a bit lenient with it)...


1. It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

2. Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized

3. If you didn't come to party
Don't bother knockin' on my door

4. All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance, don't you know?

5. Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover
And I must be moving on

6. It's obvious you hate me, though, I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you, so, what could I have done?

7. It was the third of September

8. Huggin' and a-kissin', dancin' and a-lovin'
Wearin' next to nothing 'cause it's hot as an oven

9. I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times, see you through the bad times

10. I'll take you in my arms again
I'll take you to the edge of time
Together we can reach for the heavens above

11. Sing a song to light my fire, remember Jim that way
They've all found another place, another place to play

12. I seen you walking down in Chinatown
I call you but you could not look around


Theme?

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that fits the theme of today's game.

Image Bonus: The theme isn't really conducive to an IB, so instead, show me a very special Valentine's Day gift.

11. Sing a song to light my fire, remember Jim that way
They've all found another place, another place to play

Rock and Roll Heaven - Righteous Brothers

12. I seen you walking down in Chinatown
I call you but you could not look around

Why Can't We Be Friends - War


Theme?

Songs by groups

started out with unrequited love, then went to about love, then went to songs I've been known to sing while wandering the aisles of Mecca, so I used Occam's Razor on that bitch...

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that fits the theme of today's game.

No Scrubs - TLC

Which should fit into all of my theme categories (although I'm not sure about Mecca...)

Image Bonus: The theme isn't really conducive to an IB, so instead, show me a very special Valentine's Day gift.

1. It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don't You Want Me - Human League (I believe this was the first #1 song to ever feature 100% electronic music)

2. Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Handle With Care - Traveling Wilburys (Inspired by a box in Bob Dylan's garage...)

3. If you didn't come to party
Don't bother knockin' on my door
1999 - Prince (A song written about a time 17 years in the future which is now 26 years in the past. In other words, a song that makes you feel sofa king old....)

4. All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance, don't you know?
Walk Like An Egyptian - Bangles

5. Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover
And I must be moving on
Goodbye Stranger - Supertramp

6. It's obvious you hate me, though, I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you, so, what could I have done?
People Are People - Depeche Mode

7. It was the third of September
Papa Was A Rolling Stone - Temptations

8. Huggin' and a-kissin', dancin' and a-lovin'
Wearin' next to nothing 'cause it's hot as an oven
Love Shack - B-52's

9. I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times, see you through the bad times
Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - Starplane

10. I'll take you in my arms again
I'll take you to the edge of time
Together we can reach for the heavens above
Let's Go - Wang Chung (Everyone knows Dance Hall Days and Everybody Have Fun Tonight, but this is my favorite Wang Chung song....)

11. Sing a song to light my fire, remember Jim that way
They've all found another place, another place to play
Rock and Roll Heaven - Righteous Brothers

12. I seen you walking down in Chinatown
I call you but you could not look around
Why Can't We Be Friends - War (I put this one last since it was probably the best example of the theme in the game....)


Theme?

Songs performed by GROUPS where at least two different group members sing a solo part (I accepted anything reasonably close to this...)

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that fits the theme of today's game.

...however, your Krox had to be by a group. And I wasn't about to try and figure out if multiple TLC girls had a solo part in No Scrubs (which is a Mecca earworm), so I just gave Earl the two points.

Image Bonus: The theme isn't really conducive to an IB, so instead, show me a very special Valentine's Day gift.

Lot's of lovely gifts you won't find in the 50% off section at Mecca now. I'm gonna give this IBB to earendel, for what was a very special Valentine's Day gift indeed. Nothing says "I love you" like a hail of machine gun fire...
