August Lyrically Speaking Day 16: Bonus song challenge

[mrkelley23]

August LS Day 16 Bam Bored Song Challenge

I got enough great ideas from your responses last week that I went ahead and put together another song challenge for this last Monday of the game. As usual, my song and artist are worth one point apiece, and you can provide your own choice of song and artist that matches the challenge for an additional point. For the one that says "from a given year," I identified my year, but you don't have to choose the same year for your bonus. For the one about sharing a song that probably nobody knows, try searching your song on youtube, and if a version exists, post the youtube link for us so we can all hear it. I'll try to do that for mine when I post the answers.

1. A Song you want to turn up loud

All over the country
I’ve seen it the same
Nobody’s winning
At this kind of game

2. A song that makes you dance in your chair

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun

3. A Song by a memorable act you've seen live

Singing so they hear what's on your mind,
And when you look around you'll find
There's more than

4. Song that makes you think of your best friend

So you got everything, aw but nothing's cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school
Anymore.

5. A song that makes you think of your first crush

Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives had just begun
Forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms

6. Song you love by an artist you hate

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake (don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say (oh, yeah)

7. Song you hate by your favorite artist

Bobby's drivin' through the city tonight
Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard

8. A song from a certain year. – 1991, in my case. Birth of my first son.

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

9. A song that puts you in a party mood

The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older

10. A song that makes you ponder the meaning of life

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom

11. A song that nobody has probably ever heard of that you just want to share

If all you had to do each day
Was wake up and go out to play
And shake the hand of all the world
Especially every boy and girl.

12. a song you sing to keep you awake while driving

And I'm here to prove to you
That we can party on the positive side
And pump positive vibes
So come along for the ride
Making you feel the rhythm is my occupation

[Vandal]

2. A song that makes you dance in your chair

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
Thriller - Michael Jackson

3. A Song by a memorable act you've seen live

Singing so they hear what's on your mind,
And when you look around you'll find
There's more than

LB's Pick: Part of the Plan - Dan Fogelberg (Anyone who's played my LSWE enough should know by now that Fogelberg's the only concert I've ever seen... so he has to go here by default.)

4. Song that makes you think of your best friend

So you got everything, aw but nothing's cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school
Anymore.

LB's Pick: Keep Your Hands To Yourself - Georgia Satellites (It was either this one, or a song off Bon Jovi's "New Jersey", because he was constantly listening to that tape. He was singing this song constantly back in its heyday, though...)

5. A song that makes you think of your first crush

Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives had just begun
Forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms

Bobby's drivin' through the city tonight

It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard

LB's Pick: Come Sail Away - Styx (I don't really have a favorite artist, but I do love Styx and absolutely hate that song...)

8. A song from a certain year. – 1991, in my case. Birth of my first son.

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight

Dreams of war, dreams of liars

LB's Pick: Movin' On - Missouri



I think this may be the ultimate regional hit here in the Midwest... particularly here in the St. Louis era where it holds the honorable distinction of being a "KSHE Klassic." I'm not sure if it got played at all outside of the band's namesake state. It's a really great song, and I remember it got played once on old school Mecca Radio in the middle of the night, which I thought was cool! BTW, I really miss those old "Welcome To MIssouri" signs that all got replaced sometime in the 90's... they far outshined the crap Illinois put on our side of the river...

12. a song you sing to keep you awake while driving

And I'm here to prove to you
That we can party on the positive side
And pump positive vibes
So come along for the ride
Making you feel the rhythm is my occupation

August LS Day 16 Bam Bored Song Challenge

I got enough great ideas from your responses last week that I went ahead and put together another song challenge for this last Monday of the game. As usual, my song and artist are worth one point apiece, and you can provide your own choice of song and artist that matches the challenge for an additional point. For the one that says "from a given year," I identified my year, but you don't have to choose the same year for your bonus. For the one about sharing a song that probably nobody knows, try searching your song on youtube, and if a version exists, post the youtube link for us so we can all hear it. I'll try to do that for mine when I post the answers.

4. Song that makes you think of your best friend

So you got everything, aw but nothing's cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school
Anymore.

Captain Jack, Billy Joel

My pick: Orinoco Flow, Celtic Woman

5. A song that makes you think of your first crush

Two hearts

7. Song you hate by your favorite artist

Bobby's drivin' through the city tonight
Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard

My pick: Again, I can't say this is my favorite artist, but I love some of the songs on Fleetwood Mac's Bare Trees. I shoulda put one of them for turning the radio up. Oh well. And then there's this one: Thoughts on a Grey Day, Fleetwood Mac

8. A song from a certain year. – 1991, in my case. Birth of my first son.

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars

11. A song that nobody has probably ever heard of that you just want to share

If all you had to do each day

My pick: The only way you've ever heard of this one is if you were a long haul trucker back in the 50s-60s, or if you had a boyfriend who picked up Dave Dudley's Thanks for all the Miles tape. I got ONE hit when I tried to google it to share. I Guess You Know Me Pretty Well, Dave Dudley

Just occurred to me that I woulda got lotsa hits for Six Days on the Road, but I bet most of y'all have heard of that one. This isn't my pick, it's just to sample the late, great Dave Dudley.

That we can party on the positive side

1. A Song you want to turn up loud

All over the country
I’ve seen it the same
Nobody’s winning
At this kind of game

Free Ride
Mine: Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf

2. A song that makes you dance in your chair

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun

3. A Song by a memorable act you've seen live

Singing so they hear what's on your mind,
And when you look around you'll find
There's more than

Mine: Nights In White Satin - Moody Blues
We saw them in 2005, when we were both 47, and we were practically the youngest people there.

4. Song that makes you think of your best friend

So you got everything, aw but nothing's cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school
Anymore.

Mine: Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers - ZZ Top

5. A song that makes you think of your first crush

Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives had just begun
Forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms

6. Song you love by an artist you hate

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake (don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say (oh, yeah)

Mine: All Summer Long - Kid Rock

7. Song you hate by your favorite artist

Bobby's drivin' through the city tonight
Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard

Mine: Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Not really my favorite artist, but I like everything else they have done.

8. A song from a certain year. – 1991, in my case. Birth of my first son.

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Mine: Sister Golden Hair - America (1975, the year I graduated from high school)

9. A song that puts you in a party mood

The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older

Mine: Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting - Elton John

10. A song that makes you ponder the meaning of life

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd
Mine: Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues - Danny O'Keefe

11. A song that nobody has probably ever heard of that you just want to share

If all you had to do each day
Was wake up and go out to play
And shake the hand of all the world
Especially every boy and girl.

Mine: Dark Eyed Cajun Woman - Doobie Brothers



12. a song you sing to keep you awake while driving

And I'm here to prove to you
That we can party on the positive side
And pump positive vibes
So come along for the ride
Making you feel the rhythm is my occupation

Mine: Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen

August LS Day 16 Bam Bored Song Challenge

I got enough great ideas from your responses last week that I went ahead and put together another song challenge for this last Monday of the game. As usual, my song and artist are worth one point apiece, and you can provide your own choice of song and artist that matches the challenge for an additional point. For the one that says "from a given year," I identified my year, but you don't have to choose the same year for your bonus. For the one about sharing a song that probably nobody knows, try searching your song on youtube, and if a version exists, post the youtube link for us so we can all hear it. I'll try to do that for mine when I post the answers.

Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one

Face The Crowd-Demian

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBUOi-CbIjw

There are quite a few songs that I might have posted to this thread that I have posted elsewhere. So, eliminating duplication as much as possible:

1. A Song you want to turn up loud

At this kind of game

Mr. K: Pass
AD: Get Out Of Denver - Bob Seger


2. A song that makes you dance in your chair

4. Song that makes you think of your best friend

So you got everything, aw but nothing's cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school
Anymore.

Mr. K: Captain Jack - Billy Joel
AD: Watching You Watch Him - Eric Hutchinson
The story behind this one: A couple of years ago Wally and I hit the road for our first road trip in thirty years - just the two of us, nobody else in the car for the first time in ages, on our way to Green Bay to join up with the rest of our team for the state Team Trivia championships. Wally was, in fact, a last-minute add-on; he needed a bit of persuasion, but decided it would be fun to give it a shot (he had never played TT, but we had an open spot on the roster, so...) This song was one that was played during the game; I had never heard it before, but it caught my attention to the point where I had to go up and ask the host about the title and artist. We went on to finish in the middle of the pack, and then Wally and I picked up where we left off for the two-hour drive back to Wausau, talking about whatever happened to pop into our minds...a day very well-spent, indeed. And, as it turned out, it was our last day together; the next morning Wally was gone, dead of a heart attack at fifty-five. So...even though the lyrics make no sense within the direct context of the question, this song always reminds me of one last day with my best bud...a gift that very few have ever been blessed to receive, I am sure.


5. A song that makes you think of your first crush

Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives had just begun
Forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms

Mr. K: Pass
AD: Promenade In Green - Rick Nelson (and no, her name was not Tracy...)


6. Song you love by an artist you hate

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake (don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say (oh, yeah)

Mr. K: Pass
AD: Girl - Beck


7. Song you hate by your favorite artist

Bobby's drivin' through the city tonight
Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard

Mr. K: Pass
AD: Friends Of Mine - Guess Who


8. A song from a certain year. – 1991, in my case. Birth of my first son.

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Mr. K: Pass
AD: Girls Talk - Dave Edmunds - 1979...the year I finally, unequivocally, emphatically broke out of my shell...


9. A song that puts you in a party mood

The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older

Mr. K: Baba O'Riley - The Who

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom

HOLY CRAP!!! mikehardware knew my song!!!!! I didn't even know the Barefoot Jerry version until I started researching it for this game, I only knew it as the signature song of a wonderful American music regional band around here called the Wright Brothers. You can see them in the movie Overboard, and they do several songs on the soundtrack.
