Grandson of the Song Game Thread

Oh boy. I think that’s my first simulpost! But, what happens now? Is it team 2’s turn?

Yes.

Was it good for you? :wink:

Team 2

One is the loneliest number
That you’ll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It’s the loneliest number since the number one

Harry Nillson - One is the loneliest Number

*Team One

Chug A Lug, Roger Miller

Jukebox and sawdust floor
Something like I ain’t never seen
Heck, I’m just goin’ on fifteen
But with the help of my finaglin’ uncle
I get snuck in
For my first taste of sin
I said, “let me have a big ol’ sip…”
Brrrrr…I done a double back flip

Team 2

*Roeena was an artist’s daughter, the deeper image shook her up.
Dee-dee’s mother left her father, took his money and his truck.
Debbie-Rae had no such problems, perfect Norman Rockwell home.
Nina, sixteen, had a baby, left her parents, lived alone.
Bobbie joined a new-wave band, and changed her name to Bobbie-sox.
Eloise, who played guitar, sang songs about whales and cops.
Terri didn’t give a shit, just a nihilist.
Ronnie was much more my style, she wrote songs just like this.
Jezebel went forty days drinking nothing but Perrier.
Dinah drove her Chevrolet into the San Francisco bay.
Judy came from O-hi-o, she’s a Scientologist.
Pomerante, here’s a kiss, I chose you to end this list.

Team One

My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died, Roger Miller

who’ll bid me quarter, thirty cents for a ring of keys
three sixty-five for a dollar bill of groceries
I’ll have me a car of my own someday but 'til then I need a ride
my uncle used to love me but she died

Uhhhhh, guys:

…and both are even the German versions. 'Cmon, if one had been English or Yiddish, then maybe.
Ch-ching! :slight_smile:

This is Team 1’s screw up, which *wuz[i/] my team…but , well, ya know, I switched in my mind before this happened, just to even things up. :wink:

So, what now?

Is that Team One or Team Two’s screwup? Shibb doesn’t list a team in the post with the Nena song, but in his most recent post, he’s on Team Two.

I guess that makes it

Team 1 :smiley: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
Team 2 :smiley: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

(1 :smiley: = 10 :slight_smile: )

And it would be Team 2’s turn to pick a word. Yes?

In that case, I swich back again :wink:

I assumed it was Team 1, cause it came after Team 2, but you have a point.

So now Team 2 picks the next word or theme. There are less than two hours remaining to complete this task before the game reverts back to Team 1 and the scores even up again…

:: humming Mission Impossible theme ::

The times between Lucy’s and Shibb’s posts are close enough that it may have been a simulpost. And JBERGES probably assumed it was a Team One post as well. Is Shibb around to clarify the matter of his team affiliation?

:smack: I think Kat’s right–just 90 min ago Shibb posted for team 2 I shoulda noticed that.

Seems that makes him a 2’er.

So that means that it’s actually team 1’s point, and we’re up to pick the next word/theme. This is getting terribly confusing.

I’ll go out on a limb here and say that the score now stands as this:

Team 1 :smiley: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
Team 2 :smiley: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

and we’re up, though I chose the theme last time around. Should I pick another, since time is rather of the essence? (And since Team 2 hasn’t shown up in a while anyway?) If so, I’ll go with emotions.

Team One:

It’s just another sad love song
Rackin’ my brain like crazy
Guess I’m all torn up

Another Sad Love Song - Toni Braxton

Thanks for taking the initiative tlw. I spent the last 90 min trying to pry my foot outa my mouth. (Mmmmmm…wingtips).

Anyways, enough with the acolades

EMOTIONS!! Why not pick songs with “the” in em. I mean, we’re gonna be here…

Aw, shucks.

Team 2 (I’ll STAY on Team 2, since they seem to need players)

Shiny Happy people holding hands… :slight_smile:

Team One

Angry All The Time, Tim McGraw

*I don’t know why you’ve gotta be angry all the time

Team 2

Walking in the pouring rain
Walking with Jesus and Jane
Jane was in a turtleneck
I was much happier then

Brand New Friend–Lloyd Cole and the Comotions

Team 1:

I’m only happy when it rains
I’m only happy when it’s complicated

Only Happy When It Rains - Garbage

Team 2

Lovesongs - New Model Army

Team 2

  • Well there was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee,
    There was Hogan from County Tyrone
    There was John D McGurk who was scarred stiff of work
    And the the bos’n was PT Malone*
