Speaking Lyricallyl Day 5 - 11/11/08

#1 Post by I Am Borat » Tue Nov 11, 2008 7:36 am

Jak sie masz! I am Borat Sagdiyev! I am from Kazakhstan! I like sex....is niiiiiiice!

The Killing Tomato is niiiiice. He give me permissions from U.S. and A. governments to post game for the Speaking Lyrically today to celebrate big U.S. and A. holidays of Veterans Days, when whole family get together to eat Veterans and have sex. Is niiiiiice. My nieghbor Nushuktan Tulyaiagby does not celebrate U.S. and A. holidays. He is pain in my assholes. He say only gypsies eat Veterans, because Veterans too old and stringy. He is so stupid man!

My favorite place in U.S. and A. is California, where my Pamela live. It also home of Pearl Harbor and Texas, although many many Jews are there too, but they are kept in concentration camps called "movie studios".

It is time to be starting Speaking Lyrically game. Although Kazakhstan is most beautiful and glorious country on world, the Killing Tomato has asked for me to be putting down song lyrics that celebrate the U.S. and A. The Killing Tomato say to mentioning one point is going to be giving for each title and artist, and my game will be available for the playing until 12 noon tomorrow, Central Kazakh time (which he tell me is also noon Eastern time). He also say to say that anyone who does not put answers in spoiler must have rubber fist put in anoooos, so be carefuls, since that is not so nice a things. So enjoy the gaming....is niiiiiice!

1. Lord, I can't believe what I see
How could you be alone?
When you could sit right here beside me, girl
And make yourself at home

2. I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon

3. She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

4. On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway

5. We held a concert out in Brooklyn
To watch the Island bridges blow
They turned our power down
And drove us underground
But we went right on with the show

8. At the Hotel Flamingo, wearing black-market shoes
This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon
No one wants to be lonely, no one wants to sing the blues

9. Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in....

10. City of Brotherly Love
Place I call home
Don't turn your back on me
I don't want to be alone
Love lasts forever

11. All across the nation, such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion
People in motion

12. l got some records from World War II
I play 'em just like me granddad do
He was a rocker and I am too


(The Killing Tomato wishes it to be known that the WheresFannyHellKitty and the LivingFlying2Be guys are to be getting a bonus point for pointing out that I, Borat Sagdiev, cannot count or type.)

Okay the entire opening was harder to read than lolcats and totally went over my head. Probably because I didn't see that movie? Ha! But I could tell that, had I seen the movie, it would be funny and clever and I'd be embroidering it on a a pillow. (Okay, I have no humour today and I'm desperately sucking up to get a humour point for lameness.)
Caro Rocks!

Is there a hidden meaning to why this is Day 6 and not Day 5? Or is that a Borat thang, I wouldn't understand?

Two quick notes:
1. Isn't this LS Day 5, not day 6? If not, can you kindly point me to day 5 so I can try and answer it?
2. I must protest the egregious lack of "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn"
Ok. Three notes: If there's some place where I'm supposed to write in that these are songs about specific cities, let's do that here
1. Lord, I can't believe what I see
How could you be alone?
When you could sit right here beside me, girl
And make yourself at home
Spoiler
I've Been to Memphis - Lyle Lovett
2. I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon
Spoiler
Please Come To Boston - I know someone else did this and is better known for it, but I have David Allan Coe's version
3. She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
Spoiler
By the Time I Get to Phoenix - Glenn Campbell (though the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds version is the one I know better)
4. On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
Spoiler
Of course I don't know the actual name of this song. Let's go with "My Kind of Town" by Frank Sinatra. I'm getting more and more confident in the name of the song, but now that I've filled in everything else, I'm more and more worried that every other song has a city name in its title. So how about "My Kind of Town (Chicago Is)"?
5. We held a concert out in Brooklyn
To watch the Island bridges blow
They turned our power down
And drove us underground
But we went right on with the show
Spoiler
Miami 2017 - Just because I have a true picture of Billy Joel's utter lack of talent doesn't mean I'm not very familiar with his work. I grew up in the tri-state area, after all.
8. At the Hotel Flamingo, wearing black-market shoes
This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon
No one wants to be lonely, no one wants to sing the blues
Spoiler
I have no idea
9. Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in....

But I could tell that, had I seen the movie, it would be funny and clever and I'd be embroidering it on a a pillow. (Okay, I have no humour today and I'm desperately sucking up to get a humour point for lameness.)
If Fanny really hasn't seen the movie, the embroidered pillow reference is kind of creepy :shock: .

When you could sit right here beside me, girl
And make yourself at home

People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion
