2026 Lyrically Speaking Rules

[Vandal]

The game will be two weeks long, perhaps more if I get motivated. Games will be posted each weekday (typically late night), and will officially close when I post the answers a few days later (Monday morning for Friday games).

The usual scoring applies: 1 point for each correct title, 1 point for each correct artist.

Don't cheat. You already know this. No outside sources are allowed, including other posts. No AI.

Please post your answers using the spoiler. You all know how to make it happen by now.

Bonuses:

Deep cuts bonus: The last few songs may be a little more difficult, so they are worth double.

Krox Bonus - Name another song with artist that fits the theme of that day's game (or whatever I ask for), and receive two points (or whatever I promise). You can NOT reuse an artist that you identified in that game. You CAN reuse theme elements you've identified in the game unless I specifically state otherwise.

Image Bonus - I'll ask you to find an image from somewhere off the internet that in some way relates to the theme of the game, or whatever I may ask for. You get 5 points for finding an appropriate image.

That's it for bonuses. No JJ Cale or attendance or Shithouse Rats or Annie Bonus. That's LB's proprietary stuff and I don't want to touch it. There will be more than enough points to go around.

General note: My song list is WAY skewed into the 60s, 70s and 80s and some 90s due to past listening habits. I am not up on the latest recording artists, so there will be very few songs from this century. I'm an old, retired dude, and that's how I roll.

Issues: There is a very good chance that I will make a scoring error (or several), so please address these at the end of a thread and I'll make the necessary changes.


Everything else will be a hodgepodge of themes and word play and whatever else I throw together.

It's Lyrically Speaking. You know how to do this!!

Oh, and, as always, HAVE FUN!

See you Monday!
