Since Team 2 didn’t come through with a new word to end the last thread the game now reverts to Team One.

The current standings are:

Team 1 :):):):):):):):):):):):):slight_smile:
Team 2 :):):):):):):):):):):):):slight_smile:

Yes, that’s right, we have a tie!

For the first go-round in this thread, let’s stick with a theme instead of a particular word. The theme? Numbers. I’ll start us off.

One, two, three, four
Come on baby say you love me
Five six seven times
Eight nine ten eleven
I’m just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine!

Sorry, I’m Team 1 – so Oly is Team 2.

Team 1:

99 Luftballons

Alarm zu geben, wenn es so war
Dabei war da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons

99 Luftballons - Nena

Team 1

*Well I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head, that didn’t hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day…[i/]

Sunday Morning Commin Down–Johnny Cash

And I would walk 500 more

To fall down at your door

And I cursed all the people there
I wish that all this rain would stop falling down on me
