LS Day 3 Answers and Points

[KillerTomato]

LYRICALLY SPEAKING Day 3

A word on the scoring: I had intended to give you two bonus points if you didn't use Google to answer ANY of the Part II questions, but I was ambiguous. So if you didn't use Google at all for Part 2, you get two bonus points, and if you only used it for SOME of the songs, I'll give you 1.

PART I

1. You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

BLUE MOON - BILLIE HOLLIDAY, ROD STEWART, THE MARCELS, and about 100 others. I should take a point away from Estonut for making me look up "Blue Moon Revisited" but I won't, and yes, he gets the points.

2. I've willed, I've walked
I've read, I've talked
I know, I know, I've been here before

SELLING THE DRAMA - LIVE

3. Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy

AMERICA - SIMON AND GARFUNKEL

4. I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of though
To light your name

ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN - PEARL JAM

5. 'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet-talkin' ladies man
And you love your lovin'

HELP ME - JONI MITCHELL

6. Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always, I'm with you....

COME RAIN OR COME SHINE - BILLY HOLLIDAY (again), FRANK SINATRA, many others

7. I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you around
So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing I can say

TRAIN IN VAIN - THE CLASH (a shoutout to a BB, of course!)

8. Tell me, do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for drivin'
And anyway I've got no place to go

HEY JEALOUSY - THE GIN BLOSSOMS

9. And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me

NATURE BOY - a number of folks, but NAT KING COLE's version is the best

10. So I'm a-lyin' here, just staring at the ceiling tiles
And I'm thinking about what to think about
Just listenin' and re-listenin' to "Smiley Smile"
And I'm wonderin' if this is some kind of creative drought

BRIAN WILSON - BARENAKED LADIES


PART II

11. Honey, lookin' good from her head to her toe
Beauty overload, body outta control
She 24, she could be a model
So beautiful, all so natural
I GOT IT FROM MY MAMA - will.i.am

12. When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you
Are secrets and lies

THIS I PROMISE YOU - *NSYNC

13. You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lastin'

SURVIVOR - DESTINY'S CHILD

14. Lyrics have no dress code (yeah)
From KRS to Depeche Mode
Hit them so cool you cats cold
Had to jump off, it's about to jump off

EVEN IF - METHOD MAN

15. Dolce & Gabbana
Fendi and NaDonna
Karan, they be sharin'
All their money got me wearin' fly

MY HUMPS - BLACK EYED PEAS

16. I heard that you were talking shit
And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up

HOLLABACK GIRL - GWEN STEFANI

17. Snowy night, fiends basin
"A Raisin in the Sun" was amazin'
The join on the dresser, a guage went off

THE HEART GENTLY WEEPS - WU-TANG CLAN

18. A performance deserving of standing ovations
And who would have thought it'd be the two of us
So don't wake me if I'm dreaming
'Cause I'm in the mood; come on and give it up

HELLA GOOD - NO DOUBT

19. He's not invisible anymore
With his father's 9 and a broken fuse
Since he walked through that classroom door
He's all over prime-time news

STOLE - KELLY ROWLAND

20. See, I've been watchin' you
And I like the way you move
So go 'head, girl, just do it
That ass-shakin' thing you do

ROCK YOUR BODY - JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

As most of you figured out, the pairs were made by putting together solo acts and the bands they used to perform with:

11. will.i.am used to be in 15. BLACK EYED PEAS
14. METHOD MAN was in 17. WU-TANG CLAN
16. GWEN STEFANI lead 18. NO DOUBT
19. KELLY ROWLAND sang next to Beyonce in 13. DESTINY'S CHILD
20. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE sang in 12. *NSYNC before bringing sexy back

[Estonut]

I should take a point away from Estonut for making me look up "Blue Moon Revisited" but I won't, and yes, he gets the points.

We only know the version(s) that we know!

[Beebs52]

All right!

[WheresFanny]

I could have sworn I answered this one! (I already checked, I didn't).

So let's just say that I would have gotten every single one of them right along with 33 humour points in the process and we'll call it a day.

Ha!
