Brrrrrrr.. it's colder than a well digger's tit with brass balls outside! But I've thrown the cats in the furnace, and I've almost thawed out enough now to post today's Tuesday Wordplay game. You will soon see that the idea for this game obviously came to me during the daytime....

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


1. Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof

Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House (Yay!, but they have other great songs, too!)


2. We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete

Teenage Dream - Katy Perry


3. I felt so good
Like anything was possible
Hit cruise control
And rubbed my eyes

Runnin' Down a Dream - Tom Petty


4. Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side

Dream Weaver - Gary Wright


5. Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me

Dream Lover - Bobby Darin


6. Not so long ago we were so in phase
You and I could never forget the days
But then the fire seemed to flicker
Cold wind came and it carried us away
But we'll get back someday, baby

Nope


7. Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree

Dream a Little Dream of Me - The Mamas and the Papas


8. Cause they're waiting for me
They're looking for me
Every single night
They're driving me insane
Those men inside my brain

Dream Police - Cheap Trick


9. Ah böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah böwakawa poussé, poussé

#9 Dream - John Lennon


10. Half my life is books written pages
live and love from fools and from sages
You know it's true

Dream On - Aerosmith


11. First night, so long
A state of mind
What can go wrong
We're here, the time is right
To rock 'n' roll
Right through the night

Nope


12. I was at the top and I was like I'm at the basement.
Number one spot and now she found her a replacement.
I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby.

Nope


Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains the magic word of the day.

All I Have to Do Is Dream - The Everly Brothers


5 Point Bonus: Which of these songs was used by ESPN's SportsCenter for a montage of 20th Century sports highlights on the December 31, 1999 show?

#3. Then they waited another year to finish the 20th Century...

Teenage Dream - Katy Perry (This song and "Firework" were both popular around the same time, and they are the only two Perry songs I can't stand...)

3. I felt so good
Like anything was possible
Hit cruise control
And rubbed my eyes
Runnin' Down A Dream - Tom Petty (Or as I always heard it... running down the drain)

4. Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side
Dreamweaver - Gary Wright

5. Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Dream Lover - Bobby Darin (And a host of others)

6. Not so long ago we were so in phase
You and I could never forget the days
But then the fire seemed to flicker
Cold wind came and it carried us away
But well get back someday, baby
The Dream Is Still Alive - Wilson Phillips

7. Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream A Little Dream of Me - Mama Cass Elliot Of The Mamas & Papas (The artist credit on this song is so fucked up... depending on the version, and which country, it is credited to Mama Cass solo, The Mamas and The Papas, or even BOTH! I obviously wasn't even going to try to invoke the Phil Collins Rule on this one... either Mama Cass or the group was acceptable...)

8. Cause they're waiting for me
They're looking for me
Every single night
They're driving me insane
Those men inside my brain
Dream Police - Cheap Trick

Gemini Dream - Moody Blues

12. I was at the top and I was like I'm at the basement.

Just A Dream - Nelly
