Here is the season's first edition of Tuesday Wordplay. For those who have never played TW before, the way it works is each of the following 12 songs has a common word in each of their titles. There is no bonus for knowing the magic word (It should be obvious once you get 2 or 3 songs), but it may help you figure out some of the other songs, and of course, may even inspire a few JJC points.....

This game closes at the usual time tomorrow morning....

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist.....

Hope you had a nice day answering this LS game....


J.J. Cale Points:

Once again, most everyone who attempted to be funny got at least one JJC point. The notables....


TLITF got a JJC point for invoking Susan Powter, the bane of late night TV before Billy Mays came around...

Sir G got a JJC point for basically admitting he didn't bother to read the friggin' rules!

Mini got a JJC point for admitting to attending a Thompson Twins concert! OK, it would've actually been cool BITD....

I gave Thousandaire 2 JJC points because I liked his one joke answer, as well as his continued commitment to get himself put on every BB's foe list. Then I took one away when I noticed he changed his avatar....

Clem got the max of 3 JJC points because he may rarely be right, but he is definitely funny.

Butch's girlfriend looked like she wouldn't earn her 3 JJC's off the bat, but she finished strong and once again gets the max.

TBone gets 2 JJC points, one for pointing out David Crosby on Another Day in Paradise (I had no idea!), and one for the WM greeter answer.
