New Song Thread Game...ehh?.....ehhh?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Yeah, I’d sorta like to start another one since they slammed the kibosh on the last one. Thing is, I don’t have the energy or attention span to referee it. Sorry. It’s my ADD. Ya know.

So if you don’t mind enabling my social loafing-- they learnt me them 20 cent words out at the college-- what I’m proposin is, instead of song titles, how 'bout words that’s gotta be in the song somewheres…OK?

Let’s say we start out with…oh, I don’t know… how about… Train! Yeah, the word is Train

Since I blew it last time for team 2, I’ll give them a handicap and start out on team 1, which, by sheer coincidence, is leading by one smiley face :smiley: :

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

So,
I hear the Train a-commin’
It’s rollin’ round the bend…

—Johnny Cash – “Folsom Prison Blues”

How does this work? Just post a snippet of the song with the required word? I can do that, but I dunno what team I’d be on. :slight_smile:

Loaded like a freight train
Flyin’ like an aeroplane
Feelin’ like a space brain
One more time tonight

–Guns N’ Roses, “Nighttrain”

Sure, any excuse to stuff a sock in my shorts, er, ah, pad my post count that is.

Kestral, you’re on Team 2 I believe.

Team 1:

Workin’ all the time
To make you mine, all mine yeah
Ridin’ the Love Train,
Stoke it up,
Ridin’ the Love Train

“Love Train” - Holly Johnson

Team 2

The Gambler - Kenny Rodgers
On a warm summer’s evenin’ on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin’ out the window at the darkness
'Til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

Team 1

Krazy Glue - Less Than Jake

“And what keeps runnin’ through my brain,
It just keeps running like a non-strop freight train.
It’s that traditions stick to you,
Just like, just like, Krazy Glue.”

That’s OK Crepitus. I basically failed as referee in the last thread…

Team 2:

“People get ready, there’s a TRAIN a coming,
Picking up passengers from coast to coast.
All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming.
Don’t need no ticket, you just thank the Lord.”

Written by the late, great Curtis Mayfield. Covered by loads of people, from Rod Stewart/Jeff Beck to the Impressions.

To heavens gate,
To heavens gate

My baby takes the morning train, he works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again to find me waitin’ for him…

Assuming we’re keeping the same teams from the last game, I’m on Team 2.

“I see the light at the end of the tunnel now.
Somebody tell me it’s not a train ,” - cracker

He’s leaving,
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he’s goin’ back
To a simpler place and time.
And I’ll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia

Runaway train
Never coming back
Wrong way
On a one way track

Team 1

“Into you like a train” psychedelic furs

I’m into you like a train
into you like a train, yyyyeeeeaaaahhh.

I’d put one of these ! at the end, but the psychedelic furs never had a song with an exclamation point in it

16

I’m switching teams – Team 2:

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
and a freight train running through the
middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I’m on fire

*I’m On Fire[.i] - Bruce Springsteen

(I like the use the lyrics version much better than the titles only version. This reminds me of one of my favorite party games.)

17

Team 1
Love comes to town I’m gonna jump that Train
When love comes to town I’m gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
–When love comes to town --U2 and BB King

As I was previously on Team 2, this works out spectacularly. :slight_smile:

Yay! Song thread!

Team #1:

Elton John - This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore

I used to be the main express
All steam and whistles heading west
Picking up my pain from door to door
Riding on the storyline
Furnace burning overtime
But this train don’t stop,
This train don’t stop,
This train don’t stop there anymore

Umm, I don’t listen to Elton John. No, seriously, I don’t!
