OK. Take one-part **Biggirl** ’s[The “who is she and what is she singing?” game](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=210180), fold in some of **AtomicDog** ’s[A different Name That Tune game](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=132742), add a dash of **capacitor** ’s[Talking parts of songs](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=106630) and sprinkle a little of **auntie em** ’s[How 'bout a rousing round of Name That Tune by Storyline?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=109610) for good measure, and there you have it – A **Name That Tune Game** that’s a little more difficult to cheat (_but not by any means impossible – so please refrain_) with **Spoken Introductions**. The rules? Simple Criteria: The song must have a **spoken word introduction** (music can be playing in the background). _Live tracks should be designated_ as such. For the ‘Spoken Lyric Clue’ Givers: Include your screen name before the lyric line you post, so that the ‘Spoken Lyric Clue’ Respondents can tie their answer back to your post. If you wish to give a subtle hint, by all means do. I’ll get the ball rolling with the 1st fifteen that come to mind, if this thread survives & no one else uses them; I got at least another dozen. I’ll avoid the obscure, the vague and the obvious (ala Meat Loaf’s ‘You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth”). JB1\*\*(1997)\*\*: \* Another world, another time. This land was green and good until the crystal cracked.\* Clue: If the line spawns the idea it’s Filter, you’re warm – but incorrect. JB2\*\*(1994)\*\*: _We’re American and damn proud of it! “Frankly I’m getting a little ticked off…” Go to Hell_ Clue: I almost picked ‘3 Big Bags’…but who wants to hear about open sexual intercourse on every street corner of America? JB3\*\*(1993)\*\*: _Ladies and Gentlemen, as you know we have something special for you at Birdland this evening_ Clue: Did Herbie Hancock get a thank you note or royalties? JB4\*\*(1991)\*\*: _Inter football, France Football. Une emission du service des sports presente par Jaques Vardou_ Clue: Neil Young’s from Canada, does he understand the entire into? JB5\*\*(1986)\*\*: _What the hell gives the right to tell me what to do with my life? Especially when you made a mess of every chance you had to success._ Clue: more yelled than spoken. I’ve often wondered if this song was intended to be heard by a certain Dakota resident JB6\*\*(1986)\*\*: _You’re too nasty…You’re always talking about masturbation and fornication. You’re never gonna get on MTV that way_ Clue: Perhaps Music Television should be hit with a money shot JB7\*\*(1985)\*\*: \* I always talk like I’m wigged out on Quaaludes. I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go\* Clue: A bad Marc Goodman impersonation JB8\*\*(1976)\*\*: _You’re boned like a saint, with the consciousness of a snake._ Clue: SDMB Member #5545 JB9\*\*(1975)\*\*: _The veal cutlet come down trying to beat the shit out of my cup of coffee. Coffee just wasn’t strong enough to defend itself._ Clue: There’s a rendezvous of strangers around the coffee earn tonight JB10\*\*(1972)\*\*: _In this day and age there’s lots of trouble and strife in the world and I got a little message I want everybody to hear. Please don’t fuss and fight and what? Get off the bloody…_ Clue: This band chickened out when they were invited to the No-Nukes concert at Madison Square Garden JB11\*\*(1971)\*\*: \* Police office giving his evidence, “I was proceeding in a southerly direction my lord, when I heard strange sounds coming from Waldorf Place, me lord…A sort of boogie-woogie music was being played\* Clue: This is where Sir Elton both produced and got his surname JB12\*\*(1970)\*\*: _You know when you’re born, you first see light of day through a gap in your mother’s legs, it’s the truth…_ Clue: The alternative to making love – An obscure intro to an old 60’s cover. JB13\*\*(1969)\*\*: _This one’s got a bit of chicka-chicka in it…_ (Live) Clue: This one’s very ‘Easy’ – There is no studio version. JB14\*\*(1969)\*\*: _A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous, Got Me?_ Clue: The Sleepy Lagoon Murder JB15\*\*(1968)\*\*: _I was falling into the flames and I knew that I was gonna burn. I was gonna burn. Oh God, it’s so hot in here, let me out please!_ Clue: Song went #1-UK and #2-US but the into never got airplay. Produced during Townsend’s heroin days There you have it, ask / or guess away. ---
