Lyrically Speaking - 2/5/25

#1 Post by littlebeast13 » Wed Feb 05, 2025 7:59 am

Wild Wednesday is going to the dogs today...

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


1. Well, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie

2. I cry each night
It's tears for you
My tears are all in vain

3. I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin' son-of-a-gun

4. I got the Rollie on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed 'cause I got it going on

5. Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you

6. It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free

7. Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He's returned to kill the light

8. I can still recall
The wheat fields of St. Paul
And the morning we got caught robbing from an old hen

9. Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside

10. Why must I feel like that
Oh, why must I chase the cat

11. I was justified when I was five
Raising Cain, I spit in your eye
Times are changing now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you...

12. Ask for money, and get advice
Ask for advice, get money twice

"Beau"

by Jimmy Stewart

He never came to me when I would call
Unless I had a tennis ball,
Or he felt like it,
But mostly he didn't come at all.
When he was young
He never learned to heel
Or sit or stay,
He did things his way.

Discipline was not his bag
But when you were with him things sure didn't drag.
He'd dig up a rosebush just to spite me,
And when I'd grab him, he'd turn and bite me.

He bit lots of folks from day to day,
The delivery boy was his favorite prey.
The gas man wouldn't read our meter,
He said we owned a real man-eater.

He set the house on fire
But the story's long to tell.
Suffice it to say that he survived
And the house survived as well.

On the evening walks, and Gloria took him,
He was always first out the door.
The Old One and I brought up the rear
Because our bones were sore.

He would charge up the street with Mom hanging on,
What a beautiful pair they were!
And if it was still light and the tourists were out,
They created a bit of a stir.

But every once in a while, he would stop in his tracks
And with a frown on his face look around.
It was just to make sure that the Old One was there
And would follow him where he was bound.

We are early-to-bedders at our house--
I guess I'm the first to retire.
And as I'd leave the room he'd look at me
And get up from his place by the fire.

He knew where the tennis balls were upstairs,
And I'd give him one for a while.
He would push it under the bed with his nose
And I'd fish it out with a smile.

And before very long
He'd tire of the ball
And be asleep in his corner
In no time at all.

And there were nights when I'd feel him
Climb upon our bed
And lie between us,
And I'd pat his head.

And there were nights when I'd feel this stare
And I'd wake up and he'd be sitting there
And I reach out my hand and stroke his hair.
And sometimes I'd feel him sigh
and I think I know the reason why.

He would wake up at night
And he would have this fear
Of the dark, of life, of lots of things,
And he'd be glad to have me near.

And now he's dead.
And there are nights when I think I feel him
Climb upon our bed and lie between us,
And I pat his head.

And there are nights when I think
I feel that stare
And I reach out my hand to stroke his hair,
But he's not there.

Oh, how I wish that wasn't so,
I'll always love a dog named Beau.

Wild Wednesday is going to the dogs today...

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


1. Well, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie

You ain't nothin but a hound dog, Elvia Presley

This song was banned at our house when I was really little. It wasn't the lyrics or anything, it was that my big brother loved it and sang it all the time, and Mom got sick of it. So she banned it.

2. I cry each night
It's tears for you
My tears are all in vain

They called it puppy love, Donny Osmond

3. I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin' son-of-a-gun

Joy to the world, Three Dog Night

4. I got the Rollie on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed 'cause I got it going on

5. Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you

Hungry like the wolf, Duran Duran

6. It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free

Hold the line, love isn't always on time, Toto

7. Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He's returned to kill the light

8. I can still recall
The wheat fields of St. Paul
And the morning we got caught robbing from an old hen

Me and you and a dog named Boo -- I want to say Janis Joplin, but I know I'm conflating this with Me and Bobby McGee. OK, ok, I dunno artist.

9. Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside

Snoopy and the Red Baron, The Royal Guardsmen

10. Why must I feel like that
Oh, why must I chase the cat

11. I was justified when I was five
Raising Cain, I spit in your eye
Times are changing now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you...

12. Ask for money, and get advice
Ask for advice, get money twice

I thought this would be easy. Makes me think KB is picking on me.

How Much is that doggie in the window, Doris Day

Image Bonus: Woof!

Sorry this is so big, but it's late and I had enough trouble figuring out how to get it here, much less resizing it.

I could put this in the reading log thread! Right now I'm reading Bow Wow, also a Bowser and Birdie novel. I've read Woof too. I knew you would find all this interesting, so I included it. :mrgreen:

Wild Wednesday is going to the dogs today...

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


1. Well, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie

Hound Dog - Big Mama Thornton

2. I cry each night
It's tears for you
My tears are all in vain

Puppy Love - Donny Osmond

3. I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin' son-of-a-gun

Joy to the World - Hoyt Axton

Oh, yeah, and Three Dog Night... I was surprised they weren't in your trio game, but if this is going to be a 3DN heavy LSWE, I am HERE FOR IT! Fanny Fun Fact of the Day: According to Chuck Negron, he had so much sex that his penis exploded... Also, it's high night flier which reminds me remember last year when you had drum boy for So What and I said it was Tom boy and you countered
with ".....internet". Not long after that I was playing Amazon Music on my Firestick and just had it playing random stuff from my library and the first song was So What! Sure enough, the lyrics on the screen said I WAS RIGHT!!!1


4. I got the Rollie on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed 'cause I got it going on

Drop It Like It's Hot - Snoop Dog

With Pharrell, but he don't count

5. Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you

Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran

6. It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free

Hold the Line - Toto

7. Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He's returned to kill the light

And the morning we got caught robbing from an old hen

Me and You and a Dog Named Boo - Lobo

Snoopy and the Red Baron - The Royals Guardsmen

10. Why must I feel like that
Oh, why must I chase the cat

Atomic Dong - Mel

11. I was justified when I was five
Raising Cain, I spit in your eye
Times are changing now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you...

The Bitch is Back - Elton John

Ha! This made me laugh

12. Ask for money, and get advice
Ask for advice, get money twice

Feel This Moment - Pitbull f/Christina Aguilera

Dammit, you put this one last on purpose so I'd keep hope alive for my krox. If you've actually heard the song you know it samples Take on Me, so that fact isn't too fun...

Joy To The World - Three Dog Night

4. I got the Rollie on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon

Drop It Like It's Hot - Snoop Dogg (The theme and the weed made this almost a free artist guess for everyone!)

5. Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Hungry Like The Wolf - Duran Duran

6. It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine

Now they're buried together on the countryside
Snoopy vs. The Red Baron - The Royal Guardsmen

10. Why must I feel like that
Oh, why must I chase the cat

The Bitch Is Back - Elton John

12. Ask for money, and get advice

Feel This Moment - Pitbull (Yes, I hear this song about three times a week. They probably only play four or five Pitbull songs at Mecca, but it's a good bet you're gonna hear at least two every night...)


Image Bonus: Woof!

mrkelley's image pretty much sums up what I think about the practice of dressing a poor animal up in clothes or a silly costume. He gets the IBB, and someone get that damn hot dog of the poor kitty....

I've had to view some of these old Scoobys on the TV in the break room, and even though I was one of those kids that loved the cartoon back in the day...... my god, what were the people who made this (and probably most Hanna Barbera cartoons) smoking in the 70's?...

Sprots gets 2 JJC points for banning Elvis and big goofy grins...

jarnon gets 2 JJC points for what most people think of this year's Super Bowl (woof)....
