Game #153: Brilliant Disguise

Identify the 100 songs in the clues below. (Most are from the pop charts, but we make several excursions elsewhere.) Then, match them into 31 foursomes according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Alternate matches may be possible – though I tried awfully hard to avoid it – but only one solution will complete the entire game.

24 of the songs will be used twice, each time in a different capacity.

1. And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.

2. She's into new sensation
New kicks in the candlelight
She's got a new addiction
For every day and night.

3. I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank.

4. Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak,
Are you smart?

5. They got little noses
And tiny little teeth,
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet.

6. Slip inside the eye of your mind,
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play?
You said that you'd never been,
But all the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away.

7. This feeling's so deep inside of me
Such a tender fantasy
You're the one I'm living for.
You are my sunlight and my rain,
And time could never change
What we share forevermore.

8. You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul.

9. Dreaming, I must be dreaming
Or am I really lying here with you?
Baby, you take me in your arms
And though I'm wide awake, I know my dream is coming true.

10. Won't you look down upon me, Jesus?
You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way.

11. We'd love to hear you speak your mind
In plain and simple ways,
Call a spade a spade
Like you did back in the day.

12. Hi kids! Do you like violence? (Yeah yeah yeah!)
Wanna see me stick nine inch nails through each one of my eyelids? (Uh-huh!)
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did? (Yeah yeah!)
Try 'cid and get f**ked up worse than my life is?

13. They say that all good things must end some day,
Autumn leaves must fall,
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you?
Wish you didn't have to go,
No no no no.

14. He walks on, doesn't look back,
He pretends he can't hear her,
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street,
Seems embarrassed to be there.

15. If you do want me, gimme little sweet talk,
If you don't want me, don't lead me on girl,
But if you need me, show me that you love me
And when I'm feeling down
Wearing a frown
You be there when I look around.

16. The guys give a yell and the girls start to shriek
When they see its giant claws and its razor sharp beak.

17. Il me dit des mots d'amour,
Des mots de tous les jours,
Et ça me fait quelque chose.

18. You're out of your room and down on the street
Movin' through the crowd and the midnight heat
The traffic crawls, the sirens scream
You look at the faces, it's just like a dream.

19. Her methods are inscrutable,
The proof is irrefutable,
She's so completely kissable,
Our lives are indivisible.

20. Yeah, it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two
But I can shake it, shake it, like I'm supposed to do
'Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase
And all the right junk in all the right places.

21. Take these eager lips and hold me fast.
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last.
How can we keep love alive,
How can anything survive,
When these little minds tear you in two?

22. Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear.

23. They told me be sensible with your new love
Don't be fooled, thinking this is the last you'll find.
But they never stood in the dark with you, love,
When you take me in your arms
And drive me slowly out of my mind.

24. We took the bow and made a stand
Started swaying with the hand
A sudden motion made me skip
Now we're into a brand new trip.

25. Heart in my mouth
Pulse in my head
Mercury rising into the red
The smell of your skin can
Light up all the fires in me.

26. Ooooh baby, I should forget you
Heaven knows I tried.
Baby, when I say that I'm glad we're through
Deep in my heart I know I've lied
I've lied, I've lied.

27. Blow horns, you sure sound pretty.
Your violins keep movin’ to the nitty-gritty.

28. I really should be saying goodnight,
I really shouldn't stay anymore,
It's been so long since I held you
I've forgotten what love is for.

29. People ask me why
I never find a place to stop
And settle down, down, down
But I never wanted all those things
People need to justify
Their lives, lives, lives.

30. Looking through my old drawer
Came across the letter you wrote
Said you needed time away.
That was so long ago.

31. I got a story, ain't got no moral,
Let the bad guy win every once in a while.
I got a story, ain't got no moral,
Let the bad guy win every once in a while.

32. I got to get to rockin', get my hat off the rack,
I got a boogie-woogie like a knife in the back,
So be my guest, you've got nothin' to lose.

33. Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

34. 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.

35. Thruppence and sixpence every day
Just to drive to my baby.
Thruppence and sixpence each day
'Cause I drive my baby every way.

36. O, I believe
Fate smiled and destiny
Laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience and with faith
She'll make her way.

37. If you hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have everything you want
But you better not take it from me.

38. Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb.
Maybe get a blister on your little finger,
Maybe get a blister on your thumb.

39. For somebody who don't drive
I been all around the world.
Some people say I done all right for a girl.

40. A woman on the radio talks about revolution
When it's already passed her by.
Bob Dylan didn't have this to sing about,
You know it feels good to be alive

41. Let him know that you know best,
'Cause after all you do know best.
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence.
Lay down a list of what is wrong,
The things you've told him all along.
Pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you

42. Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events,
The river.

43. And run, if you will,
To the top of the hill.

44. It's poetry in motion,
And now she's making love to me,
The spheres are in commotion,
The elements in harmony.

45. Throw down your gun
You might shoot yourself,
Or is that what you are tryin' to do?
Put up a fight
You believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through.

46. Up all night with Freddie King,
I got to tell you, poker's his thing,
Booze and ladies, keep me right
As long as we can make it to the show tonight.

47. I got mad at you last night
When you were holding another girl tight
But when I thought about all your charms
I bounced back in to your arms.

48. Now because you wear all those fancy clothes (oh yeah)
And have a big fine car (oh yes you do now)
Do you think I can afford to give you my love? (oh yeah)
You think you're higher than every star above.

49. Oh, don't you know the people were dancin' like they were mad,
It was the swingin'est band they had ever had.
It was the swingin'est song that could ever be,
It was a night with Daddy G.

50. You don't see no city when you look at me
’Cause country's all I am.
I love runnin' barefoot through the old cornfields
And I love that country ham.

51. I can show you every move
I know just what to do
Each step will feel so fine
One dance and you'll be mine.

52. I was scared, I was scared,
Tired and underprepared,
But I’ll wait for it.
If you go, if you go,
And leave me down here on my own,
Then I'll wait for you, yeah.

53. I thought I was dreamin'
But I was wrong, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, but-a, I'm gonna keep on schemin'
Till I can a-make you, make you my own.

54. Will the arrow point my way?
Will this be my day?

55. We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes too high
'Cause she's got her own obligations
And so do I.

56. When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am full of naught but pain
Who soothes my thumping, bumping brain?

57. Got rhythm, I can't miss a beat,
Got new skank, it's so reet,
Got something, I'm winking at you.

58. There's aching and pain in my heart
For the day was the one that I hated to face.
Somebody new came up to win her
And I came out in second place.

59. The night is young
And full of possibilities.
Well, come on and let yourself be free, yah.
My love for you so long I've been savin'
Tonight was made for me and you.

60. Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better,
When you find strange hands in your sweater,
When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote,
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions.

61. I've been here times before
But I was too blind to see
That you seduce every man.
This time you won't seduce me.

62. Chill out, what you yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
And you're talking to me one on one.

63. Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast,
But somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us.

64. If l had my way
I'd just walk through those doors
And wander
Down the Champs Elysées
Going cafe to cabaret
Thinking how I'll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine.

65. These are the hands that can't help reaching for you
If you're anywhere in sight,
And these are the lips that can't help callin' your name
In the middle of the night.

66. And I am all alone.
There is no one here beside me.
And my problems have all gone.
There is no one to deride me.

67. He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator,
And just use one hand.
That's all he got left cuz alligator bit it!
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow!

68. I'm quiet, you know.
You make a first impression.
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind.

69. The windshield wipers seemed to say,
"Together, together, together, together,"
And now they are saying,
"Oh, never, never.”

70. In the empire of the senses
You're the queen of all you survey.
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way.

71. I couldn't say what I wanted to say
'Til she whispered, “I love you.”

72. In your arms
I feel so safe and so secure.
Every day is such a perfect day to spend
Alone with you.

73. Now that we have come to be
A brand new light I can't see
Never thought you'd be a special, part of me, no baby.
The reasons are because of you
I can go on and make it through
I can't even take my mind off loving you.

74. In the crowd of a million people
I'll find my valentine
And then I'll climb to the highest steeple
And tell the world he's mine.

75. The time is right
Turn down the light.
And take my hand
We’ll take a flight
And spend the night
In wonderland.

76. We'll dress him up warmly
And we'll send him to school
We'll teach him how to fight
To be nobody's fool.

77. Think you gotta keep me iced?
You don't.
Think I'm gonna spend your cash?
I won't.

78. You love her but she loves him
And he loves somebody else; you just can't win.
And so it goes till the day you die,
This thing they call love, it's gonna make you cry.

79. All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms.
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart.

80. I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me.
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

81. Can you hear them?
They talk about us,
Telling lies,
Well, that's no surprise.

82. Question: Tell me what you think about me.
I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings,
Only ring your cell-y when I'm feelin’ lonely,
When it's all over please get up and leave.

83. I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away.

84. Come right back, I just can't bear it
I've got this love and I long to share it
Come right back, I'll show my love is strong.

85. They held each other tight as they drove on through the night, they were so excited.
We got just one shot of life, let's take it while we're still not afraid
Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands.

86. She sits on the dock a-fishin' in the water, uh-huh.
I don't know her name, she's the fisherman's daughter, uh-huh.

87. So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man.
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing.

88. Lookie here, see I know, just what you want
And I know, just what you need girl so baby, bring your body to me
I'm not fooling around with you
Baby, my love is true with you is where I wanna be.

89. Oh, I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me.
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you thought I'd be.

90. I've known of your, your secluded nights
I've even seen her, maybe once or twice,
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection?

91. You may leave here for four days in space
But when you return it's the same old place.

92. She hit the ground and did a flip, it was real acrobatic,
But I was crying so hard I couldn't work my Instamatic.

93. Left by my father with only this scar on my face,
Told by my mother that,
“No, you were just a mistake.”
I have tasted my own hunger,
Sold my body to survive,
Some have paid to scratch the surface
But they can't touch what's inside.

94. It ain't no joke, I'd like to buy the world a toke
And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars.
Hey, I know it's just a song but it's spice for the recipe.

95. Too real is this feeling of make-believe,
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.

96. This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue,
I give you something sweet each time you come inside my jungle book,
Or is it just too good?
Don't say you'll stay, 'cause then you go away.

97. The mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station.
When the papa found out, he began to shout
And started the investigation.

98. Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher,
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher.

99. I should've changed that stupid lock,
I should've made you leave your key,
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me.

100. A Japanese named Louie
Says the Chinese hate chop suey.

Game #153: Brilliant Disguise

First Pass

Identify the 100 songs in the clues below. (Most are from the pop charts, but we make several excursions elsewhere.) Then, match them into 31 foursomes according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

24 of the songs will be used twice, each time in a different capacity.

[earendel]

32. I got to get to rockin', get my hat off the rack,
I got a boogie-woogie like a knife in the back,
So be my guest, you've got nothin' to lose.

This is SEA CRUISE by Herman's Hermits

[earendel]

Adding a few more:

#24 is KUNG FU FIGHTING by Carl Douglas
#33 is OLD MAN by Neil Young
#59 is indeed RING MY BELL, the artist is Anita Ward
#79 is indeed BREATHE, the artist is Faith Hill

[mrkelley23]

Contributing the artists that didn't get filled in for me, and some info on Frank's clues.

7 is Stephanie Mills
29 is Patrick Hernandez
75 is either Major Harris or The Delfonics. Major was the lead singer for them, but I think this was a solo hit for him.
Dunno who sings 100. IAMMMMW, or who might've had a hit with it. I just remember this lyric from the movie, with its (under modern sensitivities) vaguely racist lyrics.

As far as inaccuracies in title, and misattributions for artist:

Can't imagine spelling will count, but when your meister is a Scrabble champ, it should be pointed out -- 25. is SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE, not able.
12. is just called MY NAME IS, without the alter ego name.

32. SEA CRUISE was originally done, I think, by Frankie Ford.
43. JEAN was originally done by Oliver, or at least he had the hit with it.
53. JUST ONE LOOK was originally done by Doris Troy.



And AAAH! I just realized #58 is THE RACE IS ON, that old country classic. "Here comes pride in the backstretch, heartache is moving up the inside." Wish we had Fanny here to tell us who sang it.

And 61. is DIRTY DIANA, by Michael Jackson

Of course, every time I see Coldplay and Ricky Martin in the same lyric game, I want the key to be Livin La Viva La Vida Loca. But I'm sure that's just another one of Frank's red herrings.

[mellytu74]

Born to Be Alive is Patrick Hernandez.

I would go with Major Lance on Love Won't Let Me Wait.

The Race Is On - I am pretty sure that's George Jones.

OK. Back into my tornado-safe stairwell.

[Bob Juch]

32. I got to get to rockin', get my hat off the rack,
I got a boogie-woogie like a knife in the back,
So be my guest, you've got nothin' to lose.

This is SEA CRUISE by Herman's Hermits

I know it from the Grateful Dead but Frankie Ford had the first hit with it.

[littlebeast13]

12. Hi kids! Do you like violence? (Yeah yeah yeah!)
Wanna see me stick nine inch nails through each one of my eyelids? (Uh-huh!)
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did? (Yeah yeah!)
Try 'cid and get f**ked up worse than my life is?

MY NAME IS SLIM SHADY - EMINEM

I wasn't sure of the exact title of this song, and it turns out it's just "MY NAME IS". Not sure if this is the somewhat incorrect title to which Frank is referring to...

I knew there was a reason the letter F kept coming to me on the Sea Cruise artist...

And boy, I sure missed a lot of songs I know on this list....
