Lyrically Speaking - 2/11/25

[littlebeast13]

Our Tuesday look at group by number of members has made it up to four. All of these songs are by quartets (I hope). Probably the most popular distribution of band members, and certainly home to some of the more famous acts of rock and roll...

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


1. But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

2. And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

3. In this context, there's no disrespect
So, when I bust my rhyme, you break your necks

4. Say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night

5. You can be here by 4:30
'Cause I've made your reservation
Don't be slow

6. I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you

7. I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you
I can't believe you're gone

8. Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh

9. I live my life like there's no tomorrow
All I've got, I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes, I'm livin' at a pace that kills

10. Well, Mandy's in the backroom, handing out Valium
Sheriff's on the airwaves, talking to the D.J.'s

11. I'll wrestle with your conscience
You wrestle with your partner
Sitting on a windowsill
But he spends his time behind closed doors

12. To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness

Knowing how much you enjoy my stultifying explanations for why I do stuff: I'm at the library on my laptop, and I can't get my images to copy. So I'll do it at home, and that will be the sole reason for my edit. . . . No, I'll just add the image. Sorry if that creates more work.

I can't believe you're gone
The Flame - Cheap Trick (I have no idea how I knew this band back in 1983 when I first started paying attention to music. I always thought they did the Dave Edmunds song "Slipping Away," which was a local hit on KWK. However, there isn't a pre-Lap of Luxury Cheap Trick song I'm aware of that I know I knew back then...)

8. Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh
Eternal Flame - Bangles (I rearranged the game to put these two songs together...)

9. I live my life like there's no tomorrow
All I've got, I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes, I'm livin' at a pace that kills
Running With the Devil - Van Halen (Before I was aware of this song's existence, it was the title of a book on the culture of fans of hair metal (it wasn't called that back then) in the 80's that we had to read in a college anthropology course, which was the absolute worst fucking class I ever took in school, and the worst instructor I ever had outside of my bitch of a fourth grade teacher...)

10. Well, Mandy's in the backroom, handing out Valium
Sheriff's on the airwaves, talking to the D.J.'s
Wild Wild West - Escape Club

11. I'll wrestle with your conscience
You wrestle with your partner
Sitting on a windowsill
But he spends his time behind closed doors
Wild Wild Life - Talking Heads (I already had room to put these two together...)

12. To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Killer Queen - Queen


Image Bonus: The power of four...

It took me a minute to get the significance of Vandal's image, but once I got it, I got a good laugh since all of my ES characters also had only four fingers. You can look that up while I give Vandal the IBB...

JJC Points:


mrk gets a JJC point for what I'm guessing is Wordle games. It didn't take me long staring at what was getting posted in that thread to realize it was just a smartphone version of Lingo, which I watched every night just before the Ray Combs version of Family Feud back in 1989...

Krox gets 2 JJC points for Who's on second and the four horsemen of the Alpocalypse...

Weasel gets a JJC point for bad barbershop quartets...

ear gets a JJC point for the Fantastic Four getting their asses handed to them...

Panic gets a JJC point for the Golden Four...

Frank gets a JJC point for the worst of Agatha...

BiT gets 2 JJC points for someone who, if they wore glasses, would be called Eight Eyes...

Sprots gets 3 JJC points for playing LSWE in a library and making me look up the definitions of 8-bit words...

mikeh gets 3 JJC points for The Who going insane while John Entwistle plays on. I wonder what Ed would have thought had the Lads did that...?

melly gets 3 JJC points for the Terrible Four (My first Christmas at Mecca was the year the talking Teletubbies dolls came out. The endcap was literally right across from where I worked in Pets, and yes, it didn't take much imagination to hear the dirty words in their gibberish. The department manager of Toys actually put a sign up to transcribe what Tinky Winky was "really" saying [Fi-Dit] instead of the thrice repeated F-word from "Money For Nothing"...)

Search gets 2 JJC points for a classic game that now has a ton of generic imitators...

Vandal gets 3 JJC points for four fingers (if ever a situation were begging for the taboo award of four JJC points....)

elwood gets a JJC point for making me look up why Robert Culp forgot his shirt...

Earl gets 3 JJC points for reading the answer posts, Dylan earworms and old school rasslin'...

Bob gets 2 JJC points for what is obviously a hot game of Go Fish...
