August Lyrically Speaking Day 6 -- 30 day song Challenge, part II
Time for Part 2 of the 30 day song challenge. Below are lyrics to my answers to days 11-20 of the challenge. Identify the title and the artist of each one for a total of two points. You may receive a bonus of one point for each if you tell me what your answer would be to the challenge.
Day 11: A song from your favorite band
1. Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy all you have to do
Day 12: A song from a band you hate
2. I, I, I, I, I just can't wait, I, I, I, I got a date
At the good ole rock and roll road show, I gotta go
Day 13: A song that is a guilty pleasure
3. So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love.
What is the feelin' takin' over?
Thinkin' no one could open my door (open my door)
Day 14: A song that no one would expect you to love
4. He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."
Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
day 15 - a song that describes you
5. Creole Williams lived down a dirt road
Made homemade wine like nobody I know
Dropped by one Friday night and said
"Can you help me, Creole
Got a little girl waitin' on me and I wanna treat her right"
day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate
6. No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime
day 17 - a song that you hear often on the radio
7. Number one with a bullet I'm a power pack
Yes I am
In a bang with the gang
They gotta catch me if they want me to hang
day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio
8. I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
day 19 - a song from your favorite album
9. The teacher put him in a corner
She said.. It's for your own good..
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
And are responding like you should
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head
day 20 - a song that you listen to when you’re angry
10. He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now

Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy all you have to do
LB's Pick - Hmmm, I don't really have a favorite band. I guess the closest I ever had was back in the 80's when Nickelodeon was rerunning their classic show, I did fall in love with the music of The Monkees, so I'll pick one of their songs... "Star Collector" was always one of my favorites.

Another guilty pleasure just came on my Sansa Fuze, so I felt compelled to share ...
I'm Gonna Hire a Wino To Decorate Our Home - David Frizzell
I LOVE that song. It reminds me of good times and good people in Fresno. And cheers me up when I am down.
And it would have been my pick for today, had it come on the Sansa Fuze 10 minutes earlier.

Re: August LS Day 6: 30 day song challenge, pt 2

Day 11: A song from your favorite band
1. Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy all you have to do
Mine: Have You Ever Seen The Rain - CCR
(Don't really have a favorite band, but I like them and it's not an obvious pick like the Beatles or Stones.)
Day 12: A song from a band you hate
2. I, I, I, I, I just can't wait, I, I, I, I got a date
At the good ole rock and roll road show, I gotta go
Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers
Mine: Get Down Tonight - KC & the Sunshine Band
Day 13: A song that is a guilty pleasure
3. So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love.
What is the feelin' takin' over?
Thinkin' no one could open my door (open my door)
Mine: Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
Day 14: A song that no one would expect you to love
4. He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."
Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
Mine: Fire On The Mountain - Marshall Tucker Band
(I usually don't like anything this "country.")
day 15 - a song that describes you
5. Creole Williams lived down a dirt road
Made homemade wine like nobody I know
Dropped by one Friday night and said
"Can you help me, Creole
Got a little girl waitin' on me and I wanna treat her right"
Mine: Still Crazy After All These Years - Paul Simon
day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate
6. No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime
Lovin' You - Minnie Riperton
Mine: Cat Scratch Fever - Ted Nugent
(Actually more the artist than the song.)
day 17 - a song that you hear often on the radio
7. Number one with a bullet I'm a power pack
Yes I am
In a bang with the gang
They gotta catch me if they want me to hang
Back In Black - AC/DC
Mine: Who Are You - The Who
(My classic rock station apparently thinks this is The Who's only song.)
day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio
8. I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Madman Across The Water - Elton John
Mine: Joy To The World - Three Dog Night
(Three Dog Night is apparently not "classic rock" according to my station.)
day 19 - a song from your favorite album
9. The teacher put him in a corner
She said.. It's for your own good..
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
And are responding like you should
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head
Mine: Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
day 20 - a song that you listen to when you’re angry
10. He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
Mine: Death On Two Legs - Queen
1. Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide

7. Number one with a bullet I'm a power pack
Yes I am
In a bang with the gang
They gotta catch me if they want me to hang
Yours: Back in Black - AC/DC
Mine: Blue Sky Mine - Midnight Oil
day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio
8. I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Yours: Madman Across the Water - Elton John
Mine: Read About It - Midnight Oil
day 19 - a song from your favorite album
9. The teacher put him in a corner
She said.. It's for your own good..
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
And are responding like you should
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head
Yours: Nope
Mine: The Dead Heart - Midnight Oil
day 20 - a song that you listen to when you’re angry
10. He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
Yours: Lose Yourself- Eminem
Mine: Power and the Passion - Midnight Oil

Totally agree. It's working out even better than I'd hoped. The only bad thing is everyone's choices are so much cooler than mine.mellytu74 wrote:Me, too, BiTBackInTex wrote:It's fun to see everyone's answers for their own picks, more so than actually doing yours. Thanks for fun Mike.

Day 11: A song from your favorite band
1. Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide

Play the Game -- Queen
Day 12: A song from a band you hate
2. I, I, I, I, I just can't wait, I, I, I, I got a date
At the good ole rock and roll road show, I gotta go
Saturday Night -- Bay City Rollers Of all the boy bands in all the countries in all the world, this is the only I could never find any redeeming qualities in.
Day 13: A song that is a guilty pleasure
3. So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love.
What is the feelin' takin' over?
Thinkin' no one could open my door (open my door)
Miss Independent -- Kelly Clarkson Not ashamed to say I got stared at while head banging to this song at a stop light not too long ago.
Day 14: A song that no one would expect you to love
4. He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."
Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
Hero of War -- Rise Against Rise Against is middle son's current fave. It's 90% screamo with little redeeming musical quality. But if you like anti-war power ballads, a la Eve of Destruction, give this one a listen. I probably love it so much because his singing this is what led us to discover that the youngest son had found his voice.
day 15 - a song that describes you
5. Creole Williams lived down a dirt road
Made homemade wine like nobody I know
Dropped by one Friday night and said
"Can you help me, Creole
Got a little girl waitin' on me and I wanna treat her right"
Dust on the Bottle -- David Lee Murphy Struggled with this one, especially now. Saw much more clever answers in other people's posts.
day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate
6. No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime
Lovin' You -- Minnie Riperton Hate to say it, especially since Ms. Riperton died tragically young, but this is really, really bad. She did at least have the whisper falsetto going long before Mariah Carey, though.
day 17 - a song that you hear often on the radio
7. Number one with a bullet I'm a power pack
Yes I am
In a bang with the gang
They gotta catch me if they want me to hang
Back in Black -- AC/DC It's a running joke with youngest son -- every time I pick him up from somewhere, he turns on the classic rock station (It's our compromise on what radio station we can both stand to listen to). Inevitably, at least one AC/DC song will come on during the drive home -- even if it's only 15 minutes or so. Overplayed, overplayed, overplayed.
day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio
8. I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Madman Across the Water -- Elton John None of the stations I've found play the Elton "deep cuts," like this one, or Solar Prestige a Gammon, or even Funeral for a Friend. Luckily, I've bought all these songs over the years, so I can listen to them when I want.
day 19 - a song from your favorite album
9. The teacher put him in a corner
She said.. It's for your own good..
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
And are responding like you should
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head
Flowers are Red -- Harry Chapin Great song about education and what's bad about it. And what could be good about it. I miss KT, too. It is on On the Road to Kingdom Come, but I put it on here for Legends of the Lost and Found, the second live album that Harry did. He's one of the few artists that I actually preferred live, for some reason.
day 20 - a song that you listen to when you’re angry
10. He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
Lose Yourself -- Eminem Geez, everyone else went for a song to calm them down and get them out of being angry. I went for the one that keeps that anger up. Sometimes it feels good to get mad and stay mad, as long as you don't take it out on anyone other than yourself.
Points:
TSIO -- 16
estonut -- 24
AD -- 14
Marley -- 1
Shameless -- 19
Fireball -- 20
elwood -- 18
Vandal -- 18
Tbone -- 22
melly -- 20
BiT -- 12
Sprots -- 10
TLITF -- 24
frank -- 11 + 1 for reminding me of Losing My Mind. I did Side by Side with a couple of friends back in the day, and the lovely alto sections of this song still tear me up.
lb13 -- 18
krox -- 13 (sounds like we have similar backgrounds and tastes in pop music.)
