Lyrically Speaking - 2/17/17

[littlebeast13]

Well, this is it.... the finale of the 2017 LSWE! It isn't quite the showstopper I would always make up for those epic 10 week contests back in the good old days. In fact, it's pretty much the same thing I've thrown out for the last game in each of these truncated seasons. I flipped around the channels of classic rock and pop music on Music Choice last night and wrote down 25 of the songs that were playing. These songs pretty much span the entire rock and roll era... though as I've done all year, I made sure to hit my target demographic with plenty of old fogey songs. Yes, I called you all old... and I'll whack you with my cane if you've got a problem with it!

I hope you've enjoyed the contest, and I look forward to serving you more awful earworms next winter!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. To have a girl like her
Is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellas in the world
She belongs to you

2. My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV

3. Well, I think of that girl from time to time
I call her up when I got a dime
I say, "Hello, baby"
She say, "Ain't you cool"

4. In your arms
I feel so safe and so secure
Every day is such a perfect day
To spend alone with you

5. Take a little trip
Take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip
Take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

6. That's no reason why I
Can't give him all my love
He is always good to me
Always treats me tenderly

7. I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door

8. In the time of chimpanzees
I was a monkey
Butane in my veins
So I'm out to cut the junkie

9. She took my heart
And she took my money
She must have slipped me a sleepin' pill

10. A thousand skeptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize

11. Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

12. Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, is there a silence
In the bedroom and all around

13. Yeah, my girl, she's one too
She'll go and get her a skirt
Stick it under her shirt
She grabbed a razor for me

14. Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue

15. Sometimes you're crazy
And you wonder why
I'm such a baby
Cause the Dolphins make me cry

16. Oh, my child, you'll never know
Just what you mean to me
Oh, my child, you got so much
You're gonna take away my energy

17. Can't let it get past me
You're far from plastic
Talk about getting blasted

18. I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out

19. Elegance in eloquence
For sale or rent or hire
Should I say yes
I match his best
Then I would be a liar

20. There`s a whole generation
With a new explanation
People in motion
People in motion

21. You really should accept
This time he's gone for good
He'll never come back now
Even though he said he would

22. But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

23. And I make her smile, it's like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do coming over you
Keep on smiling what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you

24. Yo! It's about that time
To bring forth the rhythm and the rhyme
I'm a get mine so get yours
I wanna see sweat comin' out your pores

25. We just want to dance here
Someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible
Write us off the page

8. In the time of chimpanzees

My guess is that the lyricist here is either not aware that chimps are not, in fact, monkeys, rather they are apes, or else is stating that, when most around were chimps, he or she was a monkey. The Butane and Junkie references would seem to imply a drug habit, a "monkey" on his or her back, and..........oh yeah, you want the title and artist.

Okay, I was trying to think of this one for yesterday's Krox theme (the "tiny" theme in which I scored so uncharacteristically well and still came in last for the day) but I didn't have the title right until I checked it out on YouTube. But since I have heard it recently, I can use the song now.

She say, "Ain't you cool"

I don't like spiders and snakes
But that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want to be loved by you.

Hope the title's in there somewhere. No idea on artist.

4. In your arms
I feel so safe and so secure
Every day is such a perfect day
To spend alone with you

5. Take a little trip
Take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip
Take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

6. That's no reason why I
Can't give him all my love
He is always good to me
Always treats me tenderly

This is one of those oldies you were talking about. I might get it if I took a couple hours, but the heck with it.

7. I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door

Life's been good to me so far, Joe Walsh

8. In the time of chimpanzees
I was a monkey
Butane in my veins
So I'm out to cut the junkie

9. She took my heart
And she took my money
She must have slipped me a sleepin' pill

Livin la Vida Loca. I reserve the right to name the artist if I think of it tomorrow. Or Sunday.

10. A thousand skeptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize

11. Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

Manic Monday, Bangles

12. Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, is there a silence
In the bedroom and all around

13. Yeah, my girl, she's one too
She'll go and get her a skirt
Stick it under her shirt
She grabbed a razor for me

14. Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times I was so lonely
I took some comfort there.

The Boxer, Simon and Garfunkel

15. Sometimes you're crazy
And you wonder why
I'm such a baby
Cause the Dolphins make me cry

Only wanna be with you, Hootie and the Blowfish

16. Oh, my child, you'll never know
Just what you mean to me
Oh, my child, you got so much
You're gonna take away my energy

17. Can't let it get past me
You're far from plastic
Talk about getting blasted

18. I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out

19. Elegance in eloquence
For sale or rent or hire
Should I say yes
I match his best
Then I would be a liar

20. There`s a whole generation
With a new explanation
People in motion
People in motion

Ugh. Are you going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. See note #3.

21. You really should accept
This time he's gone for good
He'll never come back now
Even though he said he would

22. But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

Like a Virgin, Madonna

23. And I make her smile, it's like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do coming over you
Keep on smiling what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you

24. Yo! It's about that time
To bring forth the rhythm and the rhyme
I'm a get mine so get yours
I wanna see sweat comin' out your pores

25. We just want to dance here
Someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible

Well, this is it.... the finale of the 2017 LSWE! It isn't quite the showstopper I would always make up for those epic 10 week contests back in the good old days. In fact, it's pretty much the same thing I've thrown out for the last game in each of these truncated seasons. I flipped around the channels of classic rock and pop music on Music Choice last night and wrote down 25 of the songs that were playing. These songs pretty much span the entire rock and roll era... though as I've done all year, I made sure to hit my target demographic with plenty of old fogey songs. Yes, I called you all old... and I'll whack you with my cane if you've got a problem with it!

I hope you've enjoyed the contest, and I look forward to serving you more awful earworms next winter!

Wow... these gifts are all wonderful! Thanks everyone! And please, leave the receipts on my desk over there. I'm giving the final IBB to Confessor for sparing no expense to rebuild the old Busch Stadium for me. Please make sure the Astroturf is included...

[littlebeast13]

JJC Points:


Confessor gets 3 JJC points for baseball as it oughta be...

Vandal gets a JJC point for nasty diet soda with nasty bacon...

jarnon gets 2 JJC points for the squirrel bracelet...

BiT gets 3 JJC points for the guitar, only because it was autographed on my birthday...

Nelly gets a JJC point for the squirrel calendar I didn't get this year (I had to settle for wolves. Ahooooooooo)...

frank gets 2 JJC points for bringing along the entertainment for the LSWE farewell bash (And better "entertainment" than he kept bringing along a few years ago)...

Weasel gets 3 JJC points for being overly thankful, crediting Shrek, and for one of my favorite recurring memes...

Krox gets 2 JJC points for....... ten lords a leaping???

TBone gets 3 JJC points for trying to make sense out of Beck's nonsense lyrics, Richard Simmons, and squirrel candy...

Sprots gets 2 JJC points for re-gifting something she already got me and for her utter lack of gratitude for all the hard work I do slaving over this hot keyboard to make all these games...

elwood gets 2 JJC points for the cookie and matching tinfoil hats...

melly gets 2 JJC points for the $12,500 squirrel (And shipping better damn well be complimentary for that much jack!)

Bob gets a JJC point for the wrong Seat 9... but that will take a few bucks off Confessor's budget for my new stadium...

Esto gets 3 JJC points for a comfy squirrel tin...


And as per longstanding LSWE tradition, everyone who thanked me in some way for running the contest this year got an additional 3 point gratitude bonus!

How did I show lack of gratitude by giving you a THANK YOU GIFT?

I think I deserved the IBB for giving you in cyberspace something I already gave you in person. Talk about lack of gratitude. . .
