Lyrically Speaking - 2/27/14

[Walt Disney]

When you wish upon a star.... makes no difference who you are..... oh, fuck that kiddie, Pollyanna bullshit! I'm not at my theme park entertaining a bunch of bratty little kids and their pushy soccer moms. I'm emerging from my cryogenic chamber to introduce this stupid Theme Thursday game for that bastard LB who stole my idea of building a world around a mangy cartoon rodent! It's bad enough I had to watch Tom Hanks try to impersonate me... now I have to cater for someone with a squirrel fetish. Please take note of the fact that I only allowed squirrels to have walk-on roles in my fine cartoons! Dammit, my ears are starting to melt again, back into the icebox for me... here's your damn game!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme....


1. Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV

2. So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK

3. So, look here
I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding
Down by old man Johnson's farm

4. If you believe in the power of magic,
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone,
Turn and look behind

5. Who'd a thought we could be lovers
She makes the bed
And he steals the covers

6. Maybe things ain't been so good at home
And the people that you love never cared at all
You wanna run away don't care where you go
You wanna run away that's all you know

7. You move it to the left
And you go for yourself
You move it to the right
Yeah if it takes all night

8. You can tell the whole world how you're gonna make it
You can follow your heart but what ya do when someone breaks it

9. The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you won't be satisfied until you do it

10. Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop - or I'll go blind

11. I've seen the future, I can't afford it
Tell me the truth sir, someone just bought it
Say Mr. Whispers! Here come the click of dice
Roulette and blackjacks - gonna build us a paradise

12. When I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be
(I know how sweet a kiss can be)
Like the summer sunshine pour your sweetness over me
(Pour your sweetness over me)

1. Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV

Money For Nothing - Dire Straits

2. So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK

3. So, look here
I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding
Down by old man Johnson's farm

Raspberry Beret - Prince

4. If you believe in the power of magic,
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone,
Turn and look behind

5. Who'd a thought we could be lovers
She makes the bed
And he steals the covers

6. Maybe things ain't been so good at home
And the people that you love never cared at all
You wanna run away don't care where you go
You wanna run away that's all you know

7. You move it to the left
And you go for yourself
You move it to the right
Yeah if it takes all night

8. You can tell the whole world how you're gonna make it
You can follow your heart but what ya do when someone breaks it

9. The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you won't be satisfied until you do it

Some Like It Hot - Power Station

10. Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop - or I'll go blind

She Bop - Cyndi Lauper

11. I've seen the future, I can't afford it
Tell me the truth sir, someone just bought it
Say Mr. Whispers! Here come the click of dice
Roulette and blackjacks - gonna build us a paradise

12. When I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be
(I know how sweet a kiss can be)
Like the summer sunshine pour your sweetness over me
(Pour your sweetness over me)

Sugar Sugar - Archies

When you wish upon a star.... makes no difference who you are..... oh, fuck that kiddie, Pollyanna bullshit! I'm not at my theme park entertaining a bunch of bratty little kids and their pushy soccer moms. I'm emerging from my cryogenic chamber to introduce this stupid Theme Thursday game for that bastard LB who stole my idea of building a world around a mangy cartoon rodent! It's bad enough I had to watch Tom Hanks try to impersonate me... now I have to cater for someone with a squirrel fetish. Please take note of the fact that I only allowed squirrels to have walk-on roles in my fine cartoons! Dammit, my ears are starting to melt again, back into the icebox for me... here's your damn game!

"Dreamtime" - Daryl Hall (One of my favorite songs ever and particularly appropriate for this game. Years ago it was one of a handful of songs that were made into Disney videos for a Disney Halloween special called "Disney's Halloween Treat". This particular video featured footage from "The Sorcere's Apprentice" segment of "Fantasia". "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics was also used.)

JUST FOR GRINS, TODAY'S DISTURBING IMAGE

[littlebeast13]

1. Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
Money For Nothing - Dire Straits (Contrary to popular belief, the only other time this has appeared this year was in the last minute parody game...)



2. So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Take On Me - A-ha


Always a big fan of #13!

3. So, look here
I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding
Down by old man Johnson's farm
Raspberry Beret - Prince (Since Prince is an asshole who doesn't let his shit get posted online, he doesn't get an image included in this game....)

4. If you believe in the power of magic,
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone,
Turn and look behind
Don't Answer Me - Alan Parsons Project


Hey baby!

5. Who'd a thought we could be lovers
She makes the bed
And he steals the covers
Opposites Attract - Paula Abdul


You smell better than Simon!

6. Maybe things ain't been so good at home
And the people that you love never cared at all
You wanna run away don't care where you go
You wanna run away that's all you know
Dreamtime - Daryl Hall (This song is actually better than anything he did with John Oates!)



7. You move it to the left
And you go for yourself
You move it to the right
Yeah if it takes all night
Harlem Shuffle - Rolling Stones


Hey Brown Sugar!

8. You can tell the whole world how you're gonna make it
You can follow your heart but what ya do when someone breaks it
Who Will You Run To - Heart (From the album "Bad Animals"... and the "animals" on the album cover were allowed to run amok in the video for this song...)



9. The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you won't be satisfied until you do it
Some Like It Hot - Power Station


I could post my drawing from last year's video LS game, but that would be showing off...

10. Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop - or I'll go blind
She Bop - Cyndi Lauper


You can't escape the long arm of Captain Lou Albano...

11. I've seen the future, I can't afford it
Tell me the truth sir, someone just bought it
Say Mr. Whispers! Here come the click of dice
Roulette and blackjacks - gonna build us a paradise
How To Be A Millionaire - ABC (It never occurred to me until trying to find a still from the video on Google how fitting it was that this song was done by a band called ABC. While I didn't find one, here's the cover art for the album it came off of, How To Be A Zillionaire, which wasn't too far from what the video's cartoon looked like....)


Sorry Jessie, this was after they put the gold lame suits in the closet for good....

12. When I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be
(I know how sweet a kiss can be)
Like the summer sunshine pour your sweetness over me
(Pour your sweetness over me)
Sugar Sugar - The Archies

Hell yeah this song had an animated video!


Though fans of early VH-1 Classic (Back when it didn't suck) probably remember this version much better, since it had to be the most played video on the damn channel...



Theme?

Songs with music videos that featured animation!

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

About the only Krox from someone who knew the theme that I debated accepting was TBone's, though I did ultimately take it. Land of Confusion features puppet animation, and I was going more for cartoonish animation here... though you really can't get more cartoonish than the puppets used in that video!

D. Angel (10/20/09 - The one and only time I ever drew Angel with silver hair)
