Lyrically Speaking - 1/22/24
Let's get this year's LSWE kicked off with our very first edition of Sesame Street Monday! I chose a letter of the alphabet at random, and the number 22 means that the key letter for this game will be good old V. Not the worst choice, but are there really a lot of V songs and artists out there? I already know the answer to that question, because in the December 2004 LS I ran, I did a game of nothing but one-word V titles!
The way this will work (and every other Monday game as well) is the odd numbered songs have V titles, and the even numbered songs have V artists. Articles (a/an/the) are ignored, and we use the last names of solo artists. Pretty simple, right?
As I've done in the past, I'll leave the first game open an extra day, so this one will close at some point on Wednesday morning. But don't get caught napping since there'll be no extensions like I've done in the past (see the friggin' rules)....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you copy/paste the lyrics, leave the bolded word in #4 bolded to prevent an Internal Server Error
1. Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home, there's nothin' to do
2. Trading my time for the pay I get (up!)
Living on money that I ain't made yet (up!)
Gotta keep goin' gotta make my way (up!)
But I live for the end of the day (up!)
3. And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
4. Don't wanna discuss it
Think it's time for a change
You may get disgusted
Start thinkin' that I'm strange
5. Well it was all of sixty-five years ago
When the world was the street where she lived
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea
6. Have you seen her, so fine and pretty?
Fooled me with her style and ease
And I feel her from across the room
Yes, it's love in the third degree
7. I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead, long live the king
8. I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of ya over myself
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
9. A goddess on a mountain top
Was burning like a silver flame
10. I got no fare to ride a train
I'm nearly drownin' in the pouring rain
11. Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wondering if we're really ever gonna get that far
12. You packed in the morning, I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say

Stared out the window and I

1. Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home, there's nothin' to do
Vacation - The Go-Gos
2. Trading my time for the pay I get (up!)
Living on money that I ain't made yet (up!)
Gotta keep goin' gotta make my way (up!)
But I live for the end of the day (up!)
Five O'Clock World - Vogues
3. And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Video Killed the Radio Star - The Buggles
4. Don't wanna discuss it
Think it's time for a change
You may get disgusted
Start thinkin' that I'm strange
Domino - Van Morrison
5. Well it was all of sixty-five years ago
When the world was the street where she lived
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea
Veronica - Elvis Costello
Didn't even bother to consider this as my krox, as I would have bet all the things that it would be in here.
6. Have you seen her, so fine and pretty?

Was burning like a silver flame
Venus - Shocking Blue
Bananarama? Sacrilege!!
10. I got no fare to ride a train
I'm nearly drownin' in the pouring rain
Hitching a Ride - Vanity Fare
Not sure I would have gotten this without knowing the band would be the V
11. Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wondering if we're really ever gonna get that far
Valotte - Julian Lennon
Hey, Jules...
12. You packed in the morning, I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
Just When I Needed You Most - Randy VanWarmer
Warmer? Wormer? All I know is that my angsty little teenage heart bled for this song. I still have the 45 somewhere...
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist where either one begins with the letter V (2 point bonus if BOTH title and artist begin with the letter V).
Bomb Iran - Vince Vance and the Valiants
Going for the extra point, I really tried to make myself believe that Bobby Vinton did a cover of Volare, but I think I was confusing it with Una Paloma Blanca. So I'll go for the triple threat instead.
Also, five'll get you ten that Hottie went for Velvet Goldmine!

Nobody came up with a double-V, which didn't surprise me. For the record, since it will likely come into play in future letter games, I won't include any doubles in the game to keep valid Kroxes alive for you all...
Image Bonus: This image bonus is sponsored by the letter V.
How can you top Vamoose, Vagina and Vinatieri? With Velocipede, that's how! It helps that one of the recent Uncle John's Bathroom Readers I plowed through had a multi-part history of the bicycle. Anyway, Mikehardware gets the first Image Bonus Bonus of the 2024 LSWE! Someone won big in Vegas (V-word!) on that bet....
