Grandson of the Song Game Thread

Team One

Shut Up And Drive, Chely Wright

Turn the radio on, to drown out the sound of goodbye
Blink back the tears, show me you’ve still got your pride
Just get yourself lost in a sad country song
Those guys that they play know just what to say
Turn the radio on

**Team 2 **

The One I Love - R.E.M.

Team 1

Don’t Look Back In Anger - Oasis

*So Sally can wait, she knows it’s too late as we’re walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don’t look back in anger I hear you say *

Team 2

When Jimmy came back home he was suprized that they had gone
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
Some people they are scared to croak
But Jimmy drank until he choked
And took the road to heaven in the morning

Sally McLannan—The Pogues

*you know, ahem, that could’ve worked for the train thread, the people thread, OR the heaven thread

….No, no, it’s really nothing *

Team # 1:

*You’re the one who makes me happy honey
You’re the sun who makes me shine
When you’re around I’m always laughing
I want to make you mine

I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you*

The Divinyls - I Touch Myself

Team 2

Hate and war –it ‘s the only thing we got today

Hate and war—Clash

This can’t mean no one’s interested any more…can it?

:frowning:
Anyway, I’ll do what I usually do and ignore what I don’t like and pretend everything’s OK.

:slight_smile:

Which means:

W’s just a letter one X ahead of Y,
I’m no longer in Hell,
AND…

Team 2 gets a point!

Team 2

IN the year of our lord 1806
we set sail from the cold quay of Cork
Down below in the hold was a cargo of bricks
for the grand city hall in New York

The Irish Rover–The Pogues

Team 1

New York - U2

In New York freedom looks like too many choices
In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices

Team 2

Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze

Country Roads - John Denver

Team 1

Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon

Awooooooooo! The werewolves of London
Awooooo!

:stuck_out_tongue:

Team 2

There is a town in north Ontario
Dreams, comfort and memory to spare
In my mind I still need a place to go
All my changes were there.

Helpless - Neil Young

Geez, a girl can’t even get a drunk on, huh? :smiley:

Learn to swim
See you down in Arizona Bay

Tool - Aenima

Anybody else out there, or has Team 1 lost another round (and I missed three categories?!)?

Well, as Team 1’s missed the deadline by a sizeable margin, the score is now:

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

Hoo-ha!

Now, a new topic…“man”. I’ll start us up:

Team 2

Goldfinger
He’s the man, the man with the Midas touch…

Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey

Team 1:

spread me open,
sticking to my pointy ribs
are all your infants in abortion cribs
I was born into this
everything turns to shit
the boy that you loved is the man that you fear

The Man That You Fear - Marilyn Manson

Well, no wonder Team 1 is losing, everyone defected to Team 2 :frowning:

:mad:

What’s the time limit again? Two hours?

<rubbing hands in glee>

**team two/b]

There’s a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow

Secret Agent Man - Johnny Rivers

Lola sez:

Muuwaahhahahaha! My little plan is working then!
