Grandson of the Song Game Thread

Team One(Just in case):

Oh, Mandy, well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy…

Mandy - Barry Manilow

We still need to post again, because simul-posts aren’t counted as multiple turns. But I thought I’d give someone else a chance to play. :wink:

Team two

I lost my lucky ball and chain
Now she’s four years gone
She’s five feet tall and sick of me
And all my rattling on
She walked away from a happy MAN
I thought I was so cool
I just stood there whistling
“There Goes the Bride”
As she walked out the door.

Lucky Ball & Chain / They Might be Giants
(cringe - two hideous puns in one posting - good shot)

Team One

Jacob’s Ladder, Huey Lewis and the News

I met a fan dancer
Down in South Side Birmingham
She was running from a fat man
Selling salvation in his hand
Now he’s trying to save me
We’ll I’m doing alright the best that I can
Just another fallen angel
Trying to get through the night

Okay, I’m switching teams again. Team one is monopolizing the game tonight.

Team Two

I’m a man, I know what it feels like
I’m a man, working on the living part of life
You see through me, I understand
Don’t lose hope, if you can
Have a little faith in man

Man - Elton John

One hour and 15 minutes until Team 2 defaults! :smiley:

Team One

Stand By Your Man, Tammy Wynette

And if you love him
Be proud of him
'Cause after all, he’s just a man

Oh, poop.

Team 1:

Lived my life around her
And I lived my life as I was told
Had me coming and going and coming and going like a toy
Turned me from a man into a sniveling little boy

Ministry - She’s Got a Cause

Team 2

Well my name is Jock Stewart
I’m a canny gun man
And a roving young fellow I’ve been
So be easy and free
when you’re drinking with me

I’m a Man You Don’t Meet Every Day—The Pogues

Team One

A Woman Loves, Steve Wariner

A woman loves beyond her questions
And dreams beyond her doubts
Her heart will lead and she will follow
Even when there’s no way out
Her eyes refuse to see the danger
As she walks right through the fire
A man may give himself to passion and desire
But a woman loves

We really need to be more careful about simulposting. Previewing replies should help, hint hint.

Team 2

If I were a sculptor
But then again, no
Or a man
Who makes potions
In a traveling show

Your Song - Elton John

(I could use Elton until this theme runs out. I think I’ll try.)

We can only preview so many times, though.

Team One

The Woman in Me, Shania Twain

The woman in me
Needs you to be
The man in my arms
To hold tenderly
Cause I’m a woman in love
And it’s you I run to
Yeah the woman in me
Needs the man in you

Team 2

*Well I’ve sailed with Burgess once before
and I think I know him well
If a *man[/]’s a sailor he will get along
If he’s not then he’s sure fer Hell

The Leaving of Liverpool—The Pogues

Geez, C.F., how many Pogues albums do you have?

Team 1:

I was born a ramblin’ man

Allman Brothers - Ramblin’ Man (the gods help me)<shudder>

Team 2
Rainbow man
Eyes cool
No hurt
No fool
Dead!

Rainbow Man—Pogues

The Pogues are Manly MEN who sing many songs about MEN who do MANly things!

Uhhhh, rainbow man doesn’t count :wink:

Um… okey-dokey. Boy, you’d better watch out if I ever get to pick a word!

Team 1:

I am just a monkey man
I hope you are a monkey woman, too, babe

Rolling Stones - Monkey Man

team 2

*There the he-males and the she-males paraded in style
And the old man with the money would flash you a smile
In the dark of an alley you’d work for a fiver
For a swift one off the wrist down on… *

…The Old Main Drag–The pouges

Team One

Rake and Rambling Man, Don Williams

Cause you know I’m a rake and a rambling man
Free as an eagle flies
Well, look at me now and tell me true
Do I look like a daddy to you?
Oh, do I look like a daddy to you?

Team 2

A man’s ambition must indeed be small
to write his name upon a shithouse wall
But before I die I’ll add my regal scrawl
To show the world I’ve left with sweet fuck all

Sea Shanty—da Pogues

Team 1:

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You’re face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

The Man Who Sold the World - David Bowie
