Game #156: Songfest

Identify each of the 100 songs below. Then, match them into 21 pairs, 13 groups of three, 5 groups of four, and 5 groups of five.

Fifteen of the songs will be used twice, two will be used three times, one will be used four times and one will be used five times. Some of these will be used more than once in exactly the same way. (You’ll see.)

It’s also quite possible I may have missed some legitimate matches. (We’ll see.)

1. Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be.

2. My love is yours, baby
Oh, right from the start.
You, you, you possess my soul now, honey,
And I know, I know you own my heart.

3. Red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up.

4. Bonedigger, Bonedigger,
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door.
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly,
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore.

5. I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea,
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me.

6. Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay.
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found.

7. The story's in the past
With nothing to recall
I've got my life to live
And I don't need you at all,

8. This lying and cryin' is upsettin' and gettin' nowhere.
It don't stack up, so slack up and pack up
I just don't care.
Don't let the screen door hit you on your way out.
Don't you drown when your dream boat runs onto the ground.

9. A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh oh oh,
The phone, the tv and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies.

10. I dodged the same old taxicabs that I had dodged for years,
The chorus of their squeaky horns was music to my ears.

11. Baby hair with a woman's eyes
I can feel you're watching in the night
All alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight.

12. Now I like you, lady
So fine with your pretty hair
If you don't mind my compliments
Just diggin' on the clothes you wear
I'm just a man and I got your fear
I can love you now I brought you here.

13. You always said the cards would never do you wrong.
The trick, you said, was never play the game too long.

14. You are here and warm,
But I could look away and you'd be gone,
'Cause we live in a time,
When meaning falls in splinters from our lives.

15. Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me.

16. Love can never be exactly like we want it to be.
I could be satisfied knowing you love me.
There's one thing I want you to do especially for me
And it's something that everybody needs.

17. Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile?
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mysteries seem so faded.

18. While you're out painting the town,
Do you think I'm home just sitting around
Waiting on you?
Now who's really the fool?

19. Like an eagle protects his nest, for you I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me.
Darling, in you I found strength where I was torn down
Don't know what's in store but together we can open any door.

20. Run and tell your mama
I want you to be my bride.
Run and tell your brother.
Baby, don't run and hide.

21. If you grew up with holes in your zapatos
You'd celebrate the minute you was having dough.
I'm like, “F**k critics, you can kiss my whole a**hole,
If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward.”

22. Violence is spread worldwide and there are families on the street
And we sell drugs to children now, oh why can't we just see
That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today?
Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay.

23. Darken the city, night is a wire,
Steam in the subway, earth is afire.

24. You and me, girl, got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears you had to cry.

25. She's saying that's ok
Hey baby, do what you please
I have the stuff that you want
I am the thing that you need.

26. Here we are
Saying goodbye at the station,
Summer vacation
Is taking you away.

27. I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine,
I wish I could jump on a plane.
And so many nights I just dream of the ocean.
God, I wish I was sailin' again.

28. It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about,
Watching some good friends
Screaming, "Let me out!"

29. I never saw no miracle of science
That didn't go from a blessing to a curse
I never saw no military solution
That didn't always end up as something worse.

30. The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned,
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand.
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
And only now I see how the years ran away.

31. Lovers appear in your room each night
And they whirl you across the floor
But they always seem to fade away
When your Daddy taps on your door.

32. She'll lead you down a path,
There'll be tenderness in the air.
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there.

33. You're shiftless and you're lazy
Just like that hound dog, Daisy,
I had when Grandma raised me.

34. Tonight, our spirits will be climbing
To a sky filled up with diamonds
When I make love to you tonight.

35. Other guys who meet her may not think she's much to see.
I can't begin to tell you what she always does to me.
Maybe it's the clothes she wears
Or the way she combs her hair
Oh, that makes me want to tell her that I care.

36. Maybe I'm wrong.
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I want to be sure.

37. They say there's seven wonders in the world
But what they say is out of date.
There's no more seven wonders in the world,
I just met number eight.

38. Oh, how they pound
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale.

39. Some will win, some will lose,
Some were born to sing the blues.
Oh, the movie never ends,
It goes on and on and on and on.

40. Why did I listen to my friends
When they told me what to do?
Yes, I still have my friends,
But I don't have you.

41. I'm a desperado underneath your window.
I see your silhouette.
Are you my Juliet?

42. How many times
Did we give up?
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fear
Kept me wondering
If I'd always, always be in love

43. Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doing
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew?

44. Everybody wants her, everybody loves her,
Everybody wants to take your baby home.

45. I'm a man,
Can't you see what I am?
I live and I breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you?

46. The day he walked into my life he caught me with my guard down.
Don't let him talk his sweet talk on you
'Cause I've hit on the bait that he threw and I got hooked,
Don't let it happen to you.

47. You're so indecisive of what I'm saying
Trying to catch the beat, make up your heart.
Don't know if you're happy or complaining.
Don't want for us to end.
Where do I start?

48. Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk.

49. Here come the dancers, one by one,
Your mama’s calling but you're having fun.
You'll find you're dancing on a number nine cloud
Put your hands together and sing it out loud.

50. So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby.

51. Since I heard your lilting laughter
It's your Irish heart I'm after.

52. And when they're really wailin’
Michelle and Cass are sailin'
Hey! They really nail me to the wall.

53. Not only good lookin',
The girl was so smart,
You can't beat her cookin'.

54. When shadows fall I pass a small café
Where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling
How it felt to kiss and hold you tight.

55. So much for your promises,
They died the day you let me go.
Caught up in a web of lies,
But it was just too late to know.
I thought it was you
Who would stand by my side.

56. I believe love will always be the same,
Ways and means are the parts subject to change.

57. I hear babies cryin',
I watch them grow.
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know.

58. No more runnin' down the wrong road
Dancin' to a diff'rent drum.
Can't you see what's goin' on
Deep inside your heart?

59. I looked out across
The river today
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
Where the seagulls play.

60. Preacherman, don't tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.

61. Give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give.

62. My head is saying, "Fool, forget him."
My heart is saying, "Don't let go.
Hold on till the end."
And that's what I intend to do.

63. It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.

64. Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care.

65. I was a game he would play
He brought the clouds to my day
Then like a ray of light
You came my way one night
Just one look and I knew.

66. I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes.

67. I saw your son today
He look just like you.
You was the greatest
You'll always be the greatest.

68. Send it in a letter, baby,
Tell you on the phone,
I'm not the kinda girl
Who likes to be alone.

69. You think that only her two lips
Can kiss your lips
And make your heart stand still,
But once you're in my arms you'll see
No one can kiss
Your lips the way I will.

70. From nowhere through a caravan
Around the campfire light
A lovely woman in motion
With hair as dark as night
Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
That hypnotized me with love.

71. It's like a diamond ring
It's a precious thing
And we never want to lose it.
It's like a favorite song
That we love to sing
Every time we hear the music.

72. You see it all around you,
Good lovin' gone bad,
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you had.

73. So never leave me lonely,
Tell me you love me only.

74. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Take a ride on the West Coast kick.

75. If you're walkin’ 'round thinkin’ that the world owes you something 'cause you're here,
You goin' out the world backwards like you did when you first come here.

76. I know your window and I know its late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light of the four way.

77. When we met, I always knew
I would feel that magic for you.
On my mind constantly
In my arms is where you should be.

78. Yub nub
Yub nub, eee chop yub nub,
Toe meet toe pee chee keene,
G'noop dock fling oh ah.

79. Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I've trusted.
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich, you know I might get busted.

80. I'm givin' you one more chance
For you to do right.
If you'll only straighten up
We'll have a good life.

81. I can't do my homework and I can't think straight,
I meet him every morning 'bout half past eight.

82. Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze.

83. The bees are so busy they don’t miss a tree
And an old weepin’ willow is laughin’ at me.

84. Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

85. I never cared too much for games and this one's driving me insane.
You're not half as free to wander as you claim.

86. She fills my heart with very special things,
With angel songs and wild imaginings,
She fill my soul with so much love
That any where I go I'm never lonely.
With her around who could be lonely?

87. There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind, just to save his own.
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place against the kingdom's throne.

88. Meet me in the crowd
People, people
Throw your love around
Love me, love me.

89. With a little perseverance
You can get things done
Without the blind adherence
That has conquered some.

90. You don't live in a beautiful place.
You don't dress with the best of taste.
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face.

91. This cat named Mickey came from out of town
He been spreadin’ this new dance all around
And in just a matter of a few days
This dance became the new teen craze.

92. I know I was wrong,
But I was just a fool
Too blind to see
You were the only girl for me.

93. Oh sugar, where you been?
Hangin' out with your male friends?
Listen, somebody's going to hurt you
The way you love to keep hurting me.

94. My love a-bigger than a cadillac
I try to show it and you drive a-me back.

95. A whole hour just 2 make up your face, baby.
Closin' time, ugly lights, everybody's inspected
But U are a natural beauty unaffected.
Did I say an hour?
My face is red, I stand corrected.

96. Now my hair has turned to silver
All my life I've loved in vain
I can see her star in heaven.

97. For there are you, sweet lollipop,
Here am I with such a lot to say,
Hey hey.

98. You must have known that I was lonely,
Because you came to my rescue,
And I know that this must be heaven,
How could so much love be inside of you?

99. I tell myself
Hey, only fools rush in
And only time will tell if we stand the test of time.

100. Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time.

17. RUNAWAY TRAIN - SOUL ASYLUM

Everything on here is correct, and you can add in all but one of Melly's 11 additional identifications as correct.

Well, let's see what we've got so far. I'm going to withhold the artists for now... they can always be re-added if they are needed...


Identify each of the 100 songs below. Then, match them into 21 pairs, 13 groups of three, 5 groups of four, and 5 groups of five.

Fifteen of the songs will be used twice, two will be used three times, one will be used four times and one will be used five times. Some of these will be used more than once in exactly the same way. (You’ll see.)

It’s also quite possible I may have missed some legitimate matches. (We’ll see.)

HOLD ME TIGHT-JOHNNY NASH

[mrkelley23]

Think I've got at least part of it.

Many of the titles have the title of another song with a shorter title inside them. Like #1 has Help, which is a song by the beatles. I've put the names of artists by the ones I could think of just on a short quick pass. I also consolidated the answer that have been proposed since the last consolidation. There are several songs like this by the Beatles, Lionel Richie, and George Michael, just to name a few. So if there are 4 Beatles titles "hiding," then the fifth song of that grouping could be Dizzy Miss Lizzy.

Not saying all of these are right, or anywhere close to it, but I think there are too many for it to be a coincidence.
