Lyric Tag

[Blondie]

How about a game of "Lyric Tag"? Thought this might be fun. Rules are easy. Complete the lyric, and name the song and original artist. Then it's your turn. You can choose any genre, or era.

One note, as this is definitely not Google-proof, I'm sure you will all be comfortable within the confines of the honor system. After 24 hours, this will be lifted to keep the game moving.

I'll start things off with a relatively easy one:

In the beginning, back in 1955...

We're off!

[Blondie]

Man didn't know about a rock-n-roll show, and all that jive..

AC/DC Let There Be Rock

What a shame, I ended up playing with myself!

[Duckster]

I would have played along, but I didn't know the song the lyric was from (until I googled it).

Try us with a really easy one.


:smile:

[SRock]

This could be fun. Try it again.

[Blondie]

Ok, it doesn't get any easier than this:

Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting....

[strat1117]

Ok, it doesn't get any easier than this:

Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting....

. . . . Those kicks were fast as lightning.

Carl Douglas -- Kung Fu Fighting.

Here's one:

"Freight train, each car looks the same . . ."

[Blondie]

all the same and no one knows the gypsy's name

Allman Bros Melissa?

[Blondie]

In the silver, blue and gold, the color of the sky I'm told...

[strat1117]

In the silver, blue and gold, the color of the sky I'm told...

I wanted to leave room for someone else to play, but since no one has taken it up yet . .

My rainbow is overdue.

Silver, Blue and Gold -- Bad Co.

Next up, more low hanging fruit:

"It's a hand me down, all the thoughts are broken . . . ."

[SRock]

Ripple by The Grateful Dead!

How about this easy one:

With you I never wonder - will you be there for me
With you I never wonder - you're the right one for me

[Blondie]

Finally found the love, of a lifetime

Firehouse, Finally found the love of a lifetime.

This one should be easy

But when we got up on stage and got ready to play people came alive....

[SRock]

Finally found the love, of a lifetime

Firehouse

You got it! My wife loves that song.

Your Go!

[Blondie]

But when we got up on stage and got ready to play people came alive....

[SRock]

Boston

Rock and Roll Band

[Blondie]

You're up!!

[SRock]

Sorry for the delay.

"And our friends are all aboard,
Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play..."

[Duckster]

Here's a song that came out at around the same time:

Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind...

[SRock]

Here's a song that came out at around the same time:

You got it! Yours was equally easy...

Strawberry Alarm Clock "Incense and Peppermints" Although I'm not sure how many 30 somethings would actually get that one.

Here is another:

Well known song though these are more obscure lyrics from that song:

Funky claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place

[Blondie]

That is Deep Purple, Smoke on the Water.

Next is:

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein

[strat1117]

Next is:

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
cause it makes me feel like I'm a man

Lou Reed -- Heroin

I'll go ahead with the next one:

Did a vehicle come from somewhere out there
Just to land in the Andes?
Was it round, and did it have a motor
Or was it something different?

[HINT: This is a little more obscure than the previous songs.]

Did a vehicle
Did a vehicle
Did a vehicle
Fly along the mountains
And find a place to park itself?

Frank Zappa, Inca Roads

And not to Split Hairs on a shaving forum, but Heroin was technically The Velvet Underground.

Switching gears a bit here, and really counting on strat1117 to get this one:

Tramuta in lazzi lo spasmo ed il pianto;
in una smorfia il singhiozzo e 'l dolor...

Opera anyone?
Here is a hint, this is posted in the clown house!

True enough, although I think of it as a Lou Reed song (he did write it).

I'm not an opera guy, so I'll leave yours for someone else (unless it was Crazy Joe Devola from Seinfeld! :laugh:)

[Blondie]

I'm not an opera guy, so I'll leave yours for someone else (unless it was Crazy Joe Devola from Seinfeld! :laugh:)

You're close. Follow that logic and you will get it. I knew I could count on you!

[strat1117]

You're close. Follow that logic and you will get it. I knew I could count on you!

I got it from the clue, not from the lyrics. I could go look up who wrote Pagliacci [sp?] (I know its Italian, but I'm pretty sure its not Puccini), but that's as far as I can get without cheating.

[Blondie]

I got it from the clue, not from the lyrics. I could go look up who wrote Pagliacci [sp?] (I know its Italian, but I'm pretty sure its not Puccini), but that's as far as I can get without cheating.

Pagliacci was written by Leoncavallo. The piece is "Vesti la Giubba" The next lyric is "Ridi, Pagliaccio,
sul tuo amore in franto!
Ridi del duol
t'avvelena il cor!

Which translates roughly in English as:

Laugh, clown,
at your broken love,
laugh at the pain
which poisons your heart!

I'm gonna give it to you for catching the clown house hint, and getting that Pagliacci is the sad clown. For bonus points, do you know why he was sad?

[SRock]

Frank Zappa - Inca Roads

To be honest I don't think I would have gotten this one had we not had a two hour long Zappa conversation with one of my troops who never even heard of him. :eek:

Next up:

I'm going really obscure on this one. Unless you are a fan of this particular group and this genre I don't see many getting this one without cheating.

Bass! how low can you go?
Death row. What a brother knows.
Once again, back is the incredible
The thyme animal

[skklog]

I know ( because I cheated) but I wont post.

Anybody? Skklog may have to enter (despite cheating) to keep the thread/game going.

Agreed, looks as though Skklog's cheat and correct answer is needed. Go Skklog go!

I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea

Don't understand how one can watch so much TV
My baby brother Alifie how I with that you could see

[skklog]

[SRock]

Where did everybody go? This is a good game.

I googled to keep it alive:

LILY ALLEN - ALFIE

Once Skklog confirms I have another ready.

[skklog]

Yes that's it

(how did you know :lol:)

[skklog]

What did you do to Rob, Mr. Klog?

[SRock]

Sorry guys, I was out camping the last couple of nights.

Here you go:

I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when...

[Blondie]

I'm, stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..

Folsom Prison Blues, Johnny Cash

Awesome song, and awesome artist, good one Slag!

[Blondie]

What a sweet talkin' honey with a little bit o' money
She turn your head around
A creature from the sea with the looks to me
Like she like to fool around...

Don't forget, finish the lyrics, name and artist...

Good Luck!

[SRock]

What a snappy little mammy gonna keep a pappy happy
And accompany me, to the ends of the earth, ah yeah
Ah, that's why I said

Beautiful Girls - Van Halen

[Blondie]

Correct! You're up Slagle!

[SRock]

Here's one my Mother used to play way too much:

I wouldn't if I were you
I know what she can do
She's deadly man, and she could really rip your world apart

[skklog]

I know that!! but can't think of it the name or how it goes ( so I guess I don't know)

[SRock]

An additional hint:

(Oh oh, here she comes) watch out boy, she`ll chew you up

[skklog]

This one should be easy.




I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain
I'm comin on like a hurricane
My lightnings flashing across the sky
You're only young but you're gonna die

I wont take no prisoners, wont spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get you, Satan get you

[SRock]

hells bells
hells bells, we're coming for you
hells bells, my temperature's high
hells bells, you're gonna die

Indeed that was easy. Hells Bells by AC/DC

Next up for humors sake:

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

I've had enough of dancehalls
I've had enough of pills
I've had enough of streetfights
I've seen my share of kills
I'm finished with the fashions
And acting like I'm tough
I'm bored with hate and passion
I've had enough of trying to love.

I'm sure you will all be comfortable within the confines of the honor system.

She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello,

You run over there without a second to loose

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know thats who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.

She walks into Smokey's one hip at a time
Like a broken field runner slippin' through the line
He likes the way she looks so he calls the little wife says
"Don't wait up for me I'll be workin' late tonight"
Wife hangs up the phone, bursts into tears
Calls her sister up and cries "Get over here"

Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile
Boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile
He leaves the motor running he'll only be a minute
His car drives away with teenagers in it
The driver tells his buddies, got one life to live
They scream into the night "Let's get it over with"

'Cause and effect, chain of events
All of the chaos makes perfect sense
When you're spinning round, things come undone

They got a hotel by the water and a quart of Bombay gin

Pink Floyd, The Wall, Part 2

Pink Floyd was the last concert I actually camped out in line to get tickets for. That's right laddie, in my day, we didn't have some fancy internet, if you wanted good seats, you had to get in line, and wait it out all night.

Want to go to Memphis get my baby back
Get me a motorcycle take off tomorrow
If it don't run I'll get me a car
Fill that car with gasoline
Do anything just to see her again

[SRock]

Hmm, this one isn't coming to me. How about another verse?

[NorthALABeeKeep]

ok...it carries on like this


Mississippi River railroad track
Want to go to Memphis get my baby back
Walking down the highway
Thumbing down the road
Got to get there
How I don't know
Uphill, downhill, just around the bend
Got to go to Memphis see my baby again

Hint: Better know as a songwriter by the general public. Lots of big time songs covered by superstars.

[skklog]

I know it,

But I Googled it

( If I don't know the song, I Google).

[NorthALABeeKeep]

ok that one was off the beaten path a ways. The title is Mississippi River off the albumn Grasshopper by JJ Cale. A excellant albumn. JJ Cale is a great songwriter who penned suck hits as Cocaine and After Midnight made famous by Eric Clapton, and Call me the breeze recorded by Lynard Skynard.


My next lyrical entry is the following:

She was standing at the load-in when the trucks rolled upShe was sniffing all around like a half-grown female pupShe wasn't hard to talk to, looked like she had nowhere to goSo I gave her a pass so she could get in to see the show.

[SRock]

I googled Rosie it was Jackson Browne.

[NorthALABeeKeep]

correct. It was Rosie from Jackson Browne's Running on Empty

[SRock]

Someone should get this one without needing to cheat:

Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight
You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Thank goodness parachute pants didn't live past that decade...Is it impolite if I go ahead and post some lyrics?

Here goes:

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby
In a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding
At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box

This is the day
Of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers
Wild gamblers
That's all in the past

Steely Dan - Deacon Blues

[NorthALABeeKeep]

correct - you're up

[SRock]

This one may be a little tougher than Vanilla Ice or M.C. Hammer :lol::

Do what you like,
Doing it nat'rally
But if it's too easy
They're gonna disagree

It's your life
And isn't it a mystery
If it's nobody's bus'ness
It's everybody's game

Gotta catch you later
No, no, cannonball it right away

Some Cinderella kid

Get it up and get you a job

[bluepunk18]

Wow, not so much as a guess even...I'm clueluess...

ERIC CLAPTON - RAMBLING ON MY MIND

Close enough It's Robert Johnson but Eric did cover it
You're up!

[SRock]

Thanks for the correction. I forgot it Clapton's recording was a cover.

Lets go with this:

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

[NorthALABeeKeep]

Layla - Eric Clapton ???

Moonlight and magnolia, starlight in your hair
All the world a dream come true
Did it really happen, was I really there
Was I really there with you

Thanks for bringing this one back up. I think this is Stars, Fell on Alabama by Louis Armstrong?

[NorthALABeeKeep]

Actually it is a rather old song that was written in 1934 about the Leonid meteor shower as viewed over northwest Alabama. Many people have recorded it from Louis Armstrong to Dean Martin to Jimmy Buffett.

good guess - your up

Ah, I immediately thought of Armstrong. Thanks. Up next:

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed

Finally, a song I know.

You got it brother, go for it!

[Duckster]

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.
