My sincere apologies for the lateness of today's game.

Today's game is a collection of mini-tributes to four artists. Of course, you won't need to give the artists, since I'll give you those, and as usual, if you see a blank (______), I'm looking for you to fill in the blank instead of giving the title.

Since I'm so late with this, the game will remain open until Tuesday at noon Eastern.

TRIBUTE 1: JOURNEY

1. I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
Ooh, I can't take this very much longer

2. She loves to laugh, she loves to sing
She does everything
She loves to move, she loves to groove
She loves the lovin' things

3. It won't be long yet, 'til you're alone
When your lover, oh, he hasn't come home
'Cause he's lovin', _____, _____ another

4. A singer in a _____ _____
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

5. Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting you to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

TRIBUTE 2: JONI MITCHELL

6. It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace

7. You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stokin' the star-maker machinery
Behind the popular song

8. I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to see

9. I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"
And this he told me,
"I'm going down to _____ _____
I'm going to join in a rock and roll band
I'm going to camp out on the land
Try and get my soul free"

10. And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time

TRIBUTE 3: LED ZEPPELIN

11. Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear

12. There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know, sometimes _____ ______ ______ _____

13. The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, singing and crying
Valhalla, I am coming!

14. From the houses of the holy
We can watch the _____ _____ go
Fromt he door comes Satan's daughter
And it only goes to show, you know

15. But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it's headed my way

TRIBUTE 4: INDIGO GIRLS (Deal with it....I love 'em. Besides, two of 'em are covers from one of their live albums, and you've probably heard the originals.)

16. Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I said my ship of safety 'til I sank it

17. And then you had to bring up reincarnation
Over a couple of beers the other night
And now I'm serving time for mistakes
Made by another in another lifetime

18. Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century

19. When we last talked, we were lying on our backs
Looking up at the sky through the ceiling
I used to lie like that alone out on the driveway
Trying to read the Greek upon the stars, the alphabet of feeling

20. So he sold all his hopes
And he even sold his own car
And bought a one-way ticket back
To the life that he once knew
Oh, yes he did, he said he would

We can watch the counfounded bridge(?) go
From the door comes Satan's daughter
And it only goes to show, you know

The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it's headed my way
Ramble On

18. Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century

And he even sold his own car
And bought a one-way ticket back
To the life that he once knew
Oh, yes he did, he said he would

TRIBUTE 1: JOURNEY

If I was approached on the street and asked to name five Journey songs, these would be it!

1. I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
Ooh, I can't take this very much longer

The Wheel in the Sky

2. She loves to laugh, she loves to sing
She does everything
She loves to move, she loves to groove
She loves the lovin' things

Any Way You Want It

3. It won't be long yet, 'til you're alone
When your lover, oh, he hasn't come home
'Cause he's lovin', _____, _____ another

Touchin' Squeezin'

4. A singer in a _____ _____
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Smokey Room

5. Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting you to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

Open Arms

TRIBUTE 2: JONI MITCHELL

6. It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace

Big Honkin' Menorah

7. You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stokin' the star-maker machinery
Behind the popular song

Free Man in Paris

8. I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to see

Help Me

9. I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"
And this he told me,
"I'm going down to _____ _____
I'm going to join in a rock and roll band
I'm going to camp out on the land
Try and get my soul free"

Gobbler's Knob

10. And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time

The Circle Game (yay! one I'm sure about!)

TRIBUTE 3: LED ZEPPELIN

11. Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear

Kashmir

12. There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know, sometimes _____ ______ ______ _____

Words Have Two Meanings

13. The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, singing and crying
Valhalla, I am coming!

The Immigrant Song

14. From the houses of the holy
We can watch the _____ _____ go
Fromt he door comes Satan's daughter
And it only goes to show, you know

Bare Butts

15. But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it's headed my way

Ramble On

TRIBUTE 4: INDIGO GIRLS (Deal with it....I love 'em. Besides, two of 'em are covers from one of their live albums, and you've probably heard the originals.)

At least I knew two Joni Mitchell songs to guess.....

16. Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I said my ship of safety 'til I sank it

Closer To Fine

17. And then you had to bring up reincarnation
Over a couple of beers the other night
And now I'm serving time for mistakes
Made by another in another lifetime

Closer To Fine

18. Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century

Tangled Up in Blue (what? Nobody except Bob should ever, ever, ever, ever do this song. Ever. Did I say ever?)

Oh, and I think these were the exact lines I used in an LS for this song (Colour Match Day).

19. When we last talked, we were lying on our backs
Looking up at the sky through the ceiling
I used to lie like that alone out on the driveway
Trying to read the Greek upon the stars, the alphabet of feeling

Closer to Fine

20. So he sold all his hopes
And he even sold his own car
And bought a one-way ticket back
To the life that he once knew
Oh, yes he did, he said he would

Midnight Train to Georgia

Today's game is a collection of mini-tributes to four artists. Of course, you won't need to give the artists, since I'll give you those, and as usual, if you see a blank (______), I'm looking for you to fill in the blank instead of giving the title.

Since I'm so late with this, the game will remain open until Tuesday at noon Eastern.
