Lyrically Speaking - 2/20/25
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2025 4:43 am
So, after last week's thrilling 80's game where we took a look at the songs from the year 1989, we celebrate the 90's today with the randomly chosen year of........ 1990. Yeah, despite them now being separated by the ten foot high barbed wire fence of decades nostalgia, the years 1989 and 1990 were actually consecutive on the calendar and the music was pretty much the same, and a number of songs could have gone into either game. Oh well, have at it with some of the biggest hits (or just songs I like) from the year 1990...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
White Lightnin' bound to drive you wild
2. See
It was just too soon to tell
And looking for some parallel
Can be an endless game
3. Swingin' in there 'cause she wanted me to feed her
So I mixed up the batter and she licked the beater
4. 'Cause love cuts a million ways
Shakes the devil when he misbehaves
I ain't nobody's fool
Come on, shake it up
Whatever I do, rock!
5. You look at me so funny
Love bite got you acting, oh, so strange
You got too many bees in your honey
Am I just another word in your page, yeah, yeah?
6. Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
7. Fresh new kicks and pants
You got it like that
Now you know you wanna dance
8. Fly the great big sky
See the great big sea
Kick through continents
Busting boundaries
9. I don't need to fall at your feet
Just 'cause you cut me to the bone
And I won't miss the way that you kiss me
We were never carved in stone
10. The chills that you spill
Up my back keep me filled
With satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's to come
11. But sometimes I get ridiculous
I'll eat up all your crackers and your licorice
Hey yo fat girl, c'mere - are ya ticklish?
12. Forget about that, let's go into the story
About a girl named blah-blah-blah that adored me
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that was released or a hit sometime around 1990.
Image Bonus: Show me something you might've seen on TV in the 90's.
