The Song Game

darkness · Aug 26, 2006

Here is a fun game I learned from another website.
The first person thinks of a word from a song (not too difficult please )
The next person has to THINK OF A SONG that has that word in it.
They write down some of the lyrics which contain that word, and also should post the name of the song's artist, just so we can learn about your favorite musicians.
Finally, that second person thinks of another word, from their own song, to specify with BOLD FACE TYPE for the next person to think of a song for.
Get it? Well, I'll show you. Hope you like this game.
First word - AMERICA

FROM Simon and Garfunkle:
Cathy, I'm lost I sais,
though I knew she was sleeping.
I'm empty and aching and I dont know why.
Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike,
they've all come to look for america.

Laughing on the bus,
playing games with the FACES.

(the next person has to think of a song with the word 'Faces" in it)

persiphone_hellecat · Aug 26, 2006

Isnt it supposed to be a word in your song lyrics?? Like empty or something?

darkness · Aug 26, 2006

no.
the word is now "faces"

persiphone_hellecat · Aug 26, 2006

so it's a totally different word every time - unrelated to the lyrics above? Makes more sense if you had to pick a word out of the lyrics you posted.

"Faces" is in the lyrics of Kathy's Song, by Simon & Garfunkel

People Are Strange, by Doors

People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you're alone

Women seem wicked
When you're unwanted
Streets are uneven
When you're down

(is that what you had in mind, darkness?)

persiphone_hellecat · Aug 26, 2006

No - apparently it isnt. That's what I thought. You pick a new word according to what I see here. Great song though. Terminally confused here.

Perks · Aug 26, 2006

But his new word was 'faces' and 'faces' is in Kathy's Song. Lol! I'm so confused.

persiphone_hellecat · Aug 26, 2006

I like it your way ... maybe it is what we are supposed to do. Let's run with it.

Dancing in the Streets
(Grateful Dead Version)

Calling out around the world,are you ready for a brand new beat.
Summer's here and the time has come for dancing in the streets.

darkness · Aug 26, 2006

Yay, fellow Deadheads!

Wake up to find out
that you are the eyes of the world
the heart has it beaches
its homeland
and thought of its own
wake now discover
that you are the song
that the MORNING ...

Morning Dew - Lyrics by Robert Hunter - music by Jerry Garcia

I thought I heard a baby cry this morning,
I thought I heard a baby cry this today.
You didnt hear no baby cry this morning,
You didnt hear no baby cry today.

Where have all the people gone my honey,
Where have all the people gone today.
Theres no need for you to be worrying about all those people,
You never see those people anyway.

Great Balls of Fire Jerry Lee Lewis

Great Balls Of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain

Too much love drives a man insane You broke my will, but what a thrill

Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire

I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny

You came along and moved me honey

I've changed my mind, your love is fine

Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire

Jimi Hendrix -

koolaid all in my brain
it remains you dont see the same
got the money
dont know why
'scuuz me while I kiss the sky
Kool aid all around
dont know if I m coming up or down
whatever it is that girl
put a spell on me
help me
oh no no no
cant go on
singing softly
softly singing
purple haze all in my eyes
dont know if its day or night
dont know
is it tommoroow
or just the end of time
aww youre driving me insane
aww PURPLE haze

1959 - Sheb Wooley ...

Well he came down to earth and lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough

It was a one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me.

The Hanging Tree - from the movie

I came to town to search for gold
And I brought with me a memory
And I seem to hear the nightly cry
Go hanging your dream on the hanging tree
Your dreams of love that could never be
Hang your faith of dream on the hanging tree

Memory - From Cats (based on the poems of TS Eliot)

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Hey Gyp - Donovan

Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.

Boat Drinks - Jimmy Buffett

Boat drinks
Boys in the band ordered boat drinks
Visitors scored on the home rink
Everything seems to be wrong
Lately, newspaper mentioned cheap air fare
I gotta to fly to Saint Somewhere
I'm close to bodily harm
Twenty degrees and the hockey game's on
Nobody cares they are way too far gone
Screamin' "boat drinks", something to keep 'em all warm

I pluralized it. You can't stop me!

"Cattle and the Creeping Things"
by The Hold Steady

She said: I was seeing double for 3 straight days
after I got born again
it felt strange but it was nice and peaceful.
It really pleased me to be around so many people.
Of course half were just visions
half of them were friend from going thru the program with me.
Later on we did some sexy things.
Took a couple photographs and carved them into wood reliefs.
But that's enough about me.
Tell me how you got down here into ybor city.
He said: I got thru the part about the exodus.
Up to then I only knew it was a movement of the people.
But if small town cops are like swarms of flies
And if blackened foil is like boils and hail,
Then I'm pretty sure we've been thru this before.

Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie - ah does this bring back memories!!

And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and
all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the
guitar.

Zappa'a Man with the Woman Head:

A coil of ashes collected on the white-on-yellow dacs.
Four slender bones with rings and nails
endured the weight of a hard fast black rubber cigarette holder.
I could just make out Ace as he carried the tray and mouthed,
"You cheap son of a *****"
as a straw fell out of a Coke, cartwheeled into the gutter.
So this was a drive-in restaurant in Hollywood,
So this was a drive-in restaurant in Hollywood,
So this was a drive-in restaurant in Hollywood

Elton John - The Weight of the World (My favorite "Weight song - The Weight by The Band unfortunately doesnt acually have the word "weight in it)

And the weight of the world is off my back
When we fell, we got up
And crawled out the cracks
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off of my back

Humidity hangs like a curtain
Oh, it fogs up my glasses sometimes
You know I've still got my eyesight
These days I'm happy to see
A sunset instead of a line

"Holland, 1945" by Neutral Milk Hotal

And here's where your mother sleeps
And here is the room where your brothers were born
Indentions in the sheets
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
And it's so sad to see the world agree
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes

Wrong Way Feeling Bob Weir

Girl, you make me suspect there are certain delights
That might be news to me,
And I know at a glance you could show me all the sights
I'd ever care to see.
You're a queen of the elite, and a treat between the sheets,
But I wonder if it's all for free...
