Lyrically Speaking - 1/21/10

[clem21]

Clever!

It's been almost a full year now since I was unceremoniously kicked out of the governor's office in Illinois, so I've had a lot of time on my hands lately.... most of which I've used to plan my Presidential campaign in 2012. Hey, you can only get so much for state appointments.... the big cash is to be had at the federal level, baby!!! I'm sure my buddy the O Man will gladly step aside and let a real showman and shyster be the country's lead man. I just need to get the full backing of SSS, and I'm all set....

And since LB did was kind enough to actually vote for me in 2006, I figured the least I could do for him was host this stupid little game of his today. If he had slid me some cash under the table, I might have spruced it up a bit and added some of my own killer songs from my iPod...... come on, come on, LISTEN to the money talk! Oh... sorry!

You Can See Dead People - Lil' Haley Joel Meets The Exorcist

6. City streets and lonely highways I've traveled down
My car is empty
And the radio just seems to bring me down
I'm just tryin' to find me a pretty smile that I can get into
It's true
I'm lost without you
So I Hired The Lonely Prostitute From Song #2 - Cross Promotion

7. The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the Farmers Bank foreclosed
Agriculture - Educated Guessing Patrol

16. We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I

From our hats to our feet
And surprise them with the victory cry
Safety Dance - Men Without Hats

Theme?
Okay, so I've got Money, School and Safety to go with Blago (meanings politics or corruption) so I remembered what you said with that aggravating "Red Bull" game last year and how I should always look at the number of songs and today you had the unusual amount of 16. And then it hit me. I'm no super trivia buff but I am the proud owner of a Political Science degree and I'm pretty sure that the U.S. Cabinet consists of 15 members plus the Vice President, among those are Departments of Education, Treasury and Homeland Security. A glance back at my joke answers revealed one song that more than likely has agriculture connected to the title so my official guess is U.S. Cabinet departments.

The Safety Dance, Men Without Hats. I always call it The Safety Dahnce, because that is what the hatless ones say. I love this song, for reasons that escape even me. This also is my favorite video with little people. (Why isn't that a category at all the awards shows? MTV could present a miniature moonman.)

I'm assuming it has something to do with politics, given the MM, but I don't know much about politics in general or politician in particular, so I'll just say governmental departments (like, does Meet Virginia signify the State Department? Duh, I tried to make In My House fit into something about Congress all day, but it's the Interior, right? You couldn't have used From the Inside if you were going to use Alice??).

So did I blather enough to try and convince you to toss me a pity theme point? Ha!

I know the first time I don't say 13, that's the one damn time it will be 13. So, 13. Final answer.

And oh, the irony of my last two nights trying to stay on line...........Charter sent two techs out to my house today. I looked out the sliding glass door and saw them rolling and unrolling a bunch of wire so I went out and asked them why that was necessary. Turns out a lot of it had been mangled and chewed as had some other little plastic thingies attached to the wire. Yep, chewed and mangled by little rodents..........with big fuzzy tails.

I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between

13. Oh, I had a dream
for a moment I believed it was true
oh, I'd have given anything
just to be there with you
are you hiding
somewhere behind those eyes?

14. Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

School's Out
Alice Cooper

15. Love can be so heartless when you turn out the lights,
a mutual surrender in the heat of the night.
Life's an empty picture when you're living alone,
well, maybe that's the reason every heart needs a home.

16. We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat
From our hats to our feet
And surprise them with the victory cry


Theme?


Kroxquo Bonus (2 points): Name another song with artist that fits the theme of today's game.


5 Point Bonus: Which of the songs above was once used (ironically I always thought) in a commercial for Walmart*?

Back to a late night play.

1. The sun goes down
The night rolls in
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up
And the music calls
You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls

2. Daddy wrestles alligators
Mama works on carburetors
Her brother is a fine mediator
For the president

3. I'm in the hi-fidelity, first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet

Rock Star, Nickelback

4. They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord, there's just got to be a better way

5. Little child, did you know that there's a light,
And it's gonna shine right through your eyes.
What do you think that life is like?

6. City streets and lonely highways I've traveled down
My car is empty
And the radio just seems to bring me down
I'm just tryin' to find me a pretty smile that I can get into
It's true
I'm lost without you

7. The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the Farmers Bank foreclosed

8. We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

9. Lord, I'm so tired!
How long can this go on?

10. I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor My Eyes, Jackson Browne

11. So when you need a little peace of mind
Come on over boy, anytime
I'll keep you happy and so satisfied

12. Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said baby, can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between

13. Oh, I had a dream
for a moment I believed it was true
oh, I'd have given anything
just to be there with you
are you hiding
somewhere behind those eyes?

14. Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

15. Love can be so heartless when you turn out the lights,
a mutual surrender in the heat of the night.
Life's an empty picture when you're living alone,
well, maybe that's the reason every heart needs a home.

16. We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat
From our hats to our feet
And surprise them with the victory cry

Safety Dance, Men Without Hats

[littlebeast13]

JJC Points:

Esto gets 2 JJC points for a nice Sprots serenade for ES....

starfish, with an assist from TBone, gets 3 JJC points for how his Krox relates to his incorrect theme guess....

frank gets 2 JJC points for attempting to Krox Luciano Pavarotti....

Marley gets 3 JJC points for some clever politcal song titles (I have to admit it was "Buddy Can You Spare a Dime" that really busted me up)

melly gets a JJC point for my torturing her with Donny Osmond....

ghost..... holy friggin' crap...... ghost!!!!! That was goddamn brilliant! I'm considering this an early nominee for the Shithouse Rats award, but for now you'll have to settle for the supermax. That came out of nowhere and really cracked me up....

Krox gets 2 JJC points for premature submission....

Panic gets a JJC point for tying Safety Dance into Mecca (Actually, Safety Dance was the song they played on Mecca Radio everytime they had the overnight safety talk, where the DJ (Geez, I miss Mecca Radio) would actually interview some corporate schmuck about safety issues....)

TBone gets 2 JJC points, since we never will know what could have been had he not known Meet Virginia.....

clem got the supermax, which probably wouldn't have happened just from his humor alone, but which I had to award him for pulling this difficult theme out of his ass despite only knowing 3 of the songs....

Kiki gets 3 JJC points for having to read such shocking lyrics....

Sliver gets 2 JJC points for Safety Dance being her favorite video with little people....

Jessie gets a supermax, her answers just keep getting better and better. Clem has got some serious competition for best LS posts.....

Fanny gets 3 JJC points for being so close to the theme, and for actually remembering the Working in a Coal Mine commercials.....

TLITF gets 2 JJC points, 1 for MKL and another for actually Kroxing a William Joel song....

DK gets 3 JJC points and my sincere apology on behalf of ES and his millions of cousins....

Marley gets 3 JJC points for some clever politcal song titles (I have to admit it was "Buddy Can You Spare a Dime" that really busted me up)

You do know that's a real song, don't you?

[SportsFan68]

Esto gets 2 JJC points for a nice Sprots serenade for ES....

Hey! I'm being ripped off!

I've spent months! . . . OK, days! . . . OK, hours! . . . Well, OK, a few minutes here and there developing the ES squishment persona. Those two Esto JJC points exist only because of me me me!!!

So whenever any player is awarded points on that basis in the future, I expect they will be duplicated onto my score. I think that's reasonable. Thanks, LB.

But I thought it was great placement on the Rain on the Scarecrow lyrics.....

Sprots, I have been telling you for 3 weeks now.... PLEASE address all JJC point complaints to this year's JJC point judge, ES. He will be happy to listen to you as you provide him with a few scritches under the table.....

As soon as the JJC points appear as an ES post, I'll believe that. Until then, I will continue to insist on fairness (and points -- lots of them ) from the Meister himself.

[SportsFan68]

P.S. Read the tagline. Here, let me help you:

NO SCRITCHES!!!

Oh hells yeah! I'm very proud of that one, but c'mon you didn't think the MJ joke was good. I cracked myself up after those lyrics...
