Lyrically Speaking - 1/31/24
The LSWE's second edition of Rockin' in the USA takes a little trip to Dixieland...
Each of the songs below comes from a solo artist who was raised in, or a group that was formed in one of the states you see above... and is generally associated with a city in my arbitrarily defined South territory. Don't like it? Well, then bless your heart...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 0 points for the state...
1. Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
2. If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
3. I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've had nothin' to live for
It look like nothin's gonna come my way
4. Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
5. How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
6. If you are confused, check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
7. My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay-Z song was on
8. With a little love and some tenderness
We'll walk upon the water
We'll rise above the mess
9. Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here
10. Well, you gave me all your loving
And your turtle doving
All your hugs and kisses
And your money too
11. When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
12. Girl, girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go

1. Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam - B-52s
2. If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
(Play) Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Sorry, sometimes a parenthetical is mandatory...
3. I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've had nothin' to live for
It look like nothin's gonna come my way
Sitting on the Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding
4. Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
I recently read her new book Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones. Lots of fun stories interesting costume info and great photos
5. How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
Bring Me to Life - Evanescence
Good thing we're not actually naming the state because I had no idea they were Southern...
6. If you are confused, check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Stand - REM
7. My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay-Z song was on
Party in the USA - Dolly's Goddaughter
I don't suppose it's a fun fact that this was written by Kesha, because everybody knows that (right?). But here's a Fanny Fun Fact for you: The first screen appearance I remember of her was in Big Fish and she was billed under her given name as Destiny Hope Cyrus. She does not give off a Destiny vibe, does she?
8. With a little love and some tenderness
We'll walk upon the water
We'll rise above the mess
Hold My Hand - Hootie & the Blowfish
9. Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here
Right Place, Wrong Time - Dr. John
10. Well, you gave me all your loving
And your turtle doving
All your hugs and kisses
And your money too
That'll Be the Day - Buddy Holly
He dropped the E from Holley, but I don't know (or remember) why, maybe he felt that U was not the only extraneous letter...
11. When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
Cheap Sunglasses - ZZ Top
Dammit, I almost put down Corey Hart!
12. Girl, girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
Burning Love - Elvis Presley
Kroxquo Bonus: Name a song by another artist from my South region.
Wildflowers - Tom Petty
This song never fails to make me cry, even more so since his passing
Image Bonus: Show me somethin' from the South.

1. Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam - B 52's (This was not the song I had written in my notebook. That song wound up being in a future game I couldn't release it from, so..... heads up!)
2. If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd (This song got a well deserved place in my Iconic Songs I Can't Stand countdown. Skynyrd did a lot of great songs that aren't this steaming pile and Sweet Home Alabama, but you ain't gonna hear them anymore...)
3. I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've had nothin' to live for
It look like nothin's gonna come my way
Sittin' On The Dock Of A Bay - Otis Redding (I'm not looking up where the parenthetical is because I don't care. [Whistling]......)
4. Jump in the shower

Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
9 To 5 - Dolly Parton (One of her greatesthits....)
5. How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
Bring Me To Life - Evanescence (I was surprised when I first found out they were from Arkansas, because that seems like a weird place for a band to come from. But I keep forgotten how my employer has practically turned that backwoods state into a big city urban paradise now....)
6. If you are confused, check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Stand - REM (Though Michael Stipe went to high school just down the road from me..... with Holly's (Second Chance) hubby!)
7. My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay-Z song was on
Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus (I fucking love this song. The rest of her post-twerkgate "music" is trash, but this is an absolute gem....)
8. With a little love and some tenderness
We'll walk upon the water
We'll rise above the mess
Hold My Hand - Hootie and the Suckfish (Darius should've become a country singer right from the get-go. Just sayin'...)
9. Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here
Right Place Wrong Time - Dr. John (Where ELP stole the term Brain Salad Surgery from...)
10. Well, you gave me all your loving
And your turtle doving
All your hugs and kisses
And your money too
That'll Be The Day - Buddy Holly & The Crickets (ooh wee ooh!)
11. When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
Cheap Sunglasses - VV Top
12. Girl, girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
Burning Love - Elvis Presley (Another one of those songs I just fucking love. And it was cockblocked from the #1 spot by Chuck Berry's Ding a Ling....)
Image Bonus: Show me somethin' from the South.
Frank gets the IBB by showing us where baby alligators come from....
