Continue the story song lyrics game

Let’s put a twist on both continue-the-story and song lyrics games both. We’ll write a story, using only song lyrics :smiley:

Rules:

  • Pick a song lyric that would continue the story in a more or less sensical manner

  • Use up to 2 full lines of a song’s lyrics, but you can use partial lines too. You can leave off the beginning or end of the line if it suits your needs better.

  • Attribute the song, but skip lines to do so, so it will be less distracting for players after you.

  • If there are at least 4 posts between, you can use the same band/artist as another poster, but not lyrics from the same song.

Example of a game:

first poster: My mama told me…
“shop around” Smokey Robinson and the Miracles

second poster: things get damaged, things get broken, I thought we’d manage but…
“precious” depeche mode

third poster: You’re breaking the girl.
“breaking the girl” RHCP

Got that or do I need to explain more? Hopefully it’s the latter and we can start the game :slight_smile:
