Answers & Points - Lyrically Speaking - 2/4/09

[Cart Pusher]

People have been ignoring me and walking all over me my entire life. The customers are rude to me, my bosses are mean to me, and the chicks in softlines won't even give me a second look. Heck, even when I got on WWTBAM 6 years ago, I was ridiculed on this very Bored by ghost! Sigh, such is the life of a professional cart wrangler, I guess. You'd think after 10 years of this, they'd at least promote me to bagboy or something....

But there is one person out there who takes pity on me.... good ol' LB! He was kind enough to allow me to write a Lyrically Speaking game for him. Of course, I wasn't sure what kind of songs to use, but then I got the best idea I've had since I learned to stay away from the cart corrals during a thunderstorm. I found this lady's shopping list sitting in the bottom of one of the carts I was bringing back into the store and thought it would be cool to turn each of the items on that list into a song! Hey, I'm a cart pusher, OK, you were expecting maybe E=mc²?

Each of the 15 songs below contains in its title a well known brand name. So in addition to identifying the 15 songs below, you get a bonus point if you can match up each song to the item on the shopping list for which that brand name belongs to. A few notes about the way this game will work:

-Some song titles contain more than one brand name in their titles, which will allow them to be paired with multiple items on the shopping list. While it will be acceptable to use a match that fits even if it wasn't the one LB was thinking of, there is only one way that all 15 items will work together.... and you can't use an item more than once when doing the matching...

-Normally LB allows for players to guess at the matches for songs even if they can't identify the title. But in this game, you MUST get the title of a song correct to be able to match it to an item on the list. No blind guesses this time....

-Spelling is not important on the application I filled out to work here, nor is it important when it comes to identifying the brand names in the titles of these songs. I got hooked on phonics, and so can you!

Is that clear? Well, sorry, I'm not good at explanations. If you don't believe me, ask my boss when he wanted to know why I was 15 minutes late last week....

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and 1 point for each correct match to an item on teh shopping list....



1. You think you've lost your love,
Well I saw her yesterday.
It's you she's thinking of
And she told me what to say

2. He sat on the stony ground.
And he took a cigarette out.
And everyone else came down to listen.

3. Turnin' back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same
Now the thing that I call livin' is just bein' satisfied
With knowin' I got no one left to blame

4. Well you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise
But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice

5. You were the one who left me neglected
(Oh, no no no...I'm so sorry)
Apology not accepted
Add me to the broken hearts you've collected

6. I'm just mad about Fourteen
Fourteen's mad about me
I'm just mad about Fourteen
She's just mad about me

7. Well, she took me to the river
Where she cast a spell
And in that Southern moonlight
She sang this song so well

8. Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better, set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, oh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah

9. Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation

10. How do I know?
Maybe you're trying to use me
Flying too high can confuse me
Touch me but don't take me down

11. A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road,
nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford.
The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five,
she's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side

12. Our love will last now (our love will last)
Till the end of time (end of time)
Because this love now (because this love)
Is gonna be yours and mine (yours and mine)

13. Let it roll, let em go, let em fly
Took a chance on a chance
But the aces were high
Get it on, give it up, give it in
You stole the wages of sin
Got to be in it to win

14. Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain't missin' not a single thing
Cufflinks, stick pin
When I step out I'm gonna do you in

15. There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there
And they're all livin' devil may care
And I'm just the devil with love to spare

lb, aka cartpusher, says:

Heck, even when I got on WWTBAM 6 years ago, I was ridiculed on this very Bored by ghost!

No, you were not ridiculed. I commented, not complained (bitterly or derisively (tm)) that a particular contestant who appeared on WWTBAM & who said they were clerk in some store might, by his behavior on the show, have some mental impairment that show play made apparent. This may have been the person I thought looked &, more importantly, acted like someone with Williams Syndrome; maybe not, maybe so. I'd have to go wayback in some archive somewhere.

Williams Syndrome people are usually great conversationalists, & excellent at music, but can't do simple arithmetic, & often can't tie their shoes to save their lives. The also generally have "elf-like" faces; small turned-up noses, pointy chins. Comes as part of the syndrome.

Some people with this impairment could easily pass a test based on trivia knowledge, but would lose it completely given a question where they had to count, add, etc.

It was either this person or some other person who screwed up an otherwise good run that lead me to comment. I didn't ridicule lb, I just commented on a contestant, though.


Now, whether you have to have some different kind of mental impairment to think that Walmart is a caring, generous, fair to all genders & ethnic groups employer is a different sort of (bitter, derisive (tm) topic for discussion.

People have been ignoring me and walking all over me my entire life. The customers are rude to me, my bosses are mean to me, and the chicks in softlines won't even give me a second look. Heck, even when I got on WWTBAM 6 years ago, I was ridiculed on this very Bored by ghost! Sigh, such is the life of a professional cart wrangler, I guess. You'd think after 10 years of this, they'd at least promote me to bagboy or something....

But there is one person out there who takes pity on me.... good ol'LB! He was kind enough to allow me to write a Lyrically Speaking game for him. Of course, I wasn't sure what kind of songs to use, but then I got the best idea I've had since I learned to stay away from the cart corrals during a thunderstorm. I found this lady's shopping list sitting in the bottom of one of the carts I was bringing back into the store and thought it would be cool to turn each of the items on that list into a song! Hey, I'm a cart pusher, OK, you were expecting maybe E=mc²?

Each of the 15 songs below contains in its title a well known brand name. So in addition to identifying the 15 songs below, you get a bonus point if you can match up each song to the item on the shopping list for which that brand name belongs to. A few notes about the way this game will work:

-Some song titles contain more than one brand name in their titles, which will allow them to be paired with multiple items on the shopping list. While it will be acceptable to use a match that fits even if it wasn't the one LB was thinking of, there is only one way that all 15 items will work together.... and you can't use an item more than once when doing the matching...

-Normally LB allows for players to guess at the matches for songs even if they can't identify the title. But in this game, you MUST get the title of a song correct to be able to match it to an item on the list. No blind guesses this time....

-Spelling is not important on the application I filled out to work here, nor is it important when it comes to identifying the brand names in the titles of these songs. I got hooked on phonics, and so can you!

Is that clear? Well, sorry, I'm not good at explanations. If you don't believe me, ask my boss when he wanted to know why I was 15 minutes late last week....

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and 1 point for each correct match to an item on teh shopping list....
