Song lyrics game.

I have seen this with movie quotes, so let’s try song lyrics.

Do not cheat. Do not Google the lyrics. Also, you must name song and artist/band title that made the song popular. You can add one if you guess one right. I have broke mine into difficulty levels.

Good luck

Hard

  1. Hey…girl
    Take out the dagger
    And let’s have a stab at the sexual revolution
    Hey girl
  2. We got fifteen dollars and a can of STP
    A big ol’ jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV
  3. Go there now, but I hear they sung
    Their f*ck me and marry me young
    Some wild idea and a big white bed, now
  4. Gives a special interpretation to the grand old hymn “The Old Rugged Cross”
    Chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave as they reveal their
    Innermost selves with the outpouring of their hearts
  5. Look around you
    All around you
    Can’t you hear them?
    Cries of the innocent

**Medium **
6) There’s nothing wrong with Ohio
Except the snow and the rain
I really like Drew Carey
And I’d love to see the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame
7) You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You’re nearly a good laugh,Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
8) Now don’t let it convince you, don’t take it to heart
Compromise and realize you can never really run everything you start
You can’t deal me the aces and think I wouldn’t play
9) Sippin bud, gettin perved and getting dubbed
Gats and hugs, mean mugs and shoulder shrugs
And it’s all because, I accumulated enough stress
Just to navigate it, fully decorated on chrome
10) And I don’t know where I’m going.
I just want to be left alone.
Well, when this train ends I’ll try again,
But I’m leaving my woman at home

Easy

  1. Beginning to think that I’m wasting time
    I don’t understand the things I do
    The world outside looks so unkind
    Now I’m counting on you
    To carry me through
  2. Did you write the book of love,
    And do you have faith in God above,
    If the Bible tells you so?
    Do you believe in rock ’n roll,
    Can music save your mortal soul,
    And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
  3. People always told me be careful of what you do
    And don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts
    And mother always told me be careful of who you love
    And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
  4. seesaw swingin’ with the boys in the school
    and your feet flyin’ up in the air
    singin’ “hey diddle diddle”
    with your kitty in the middle of the swing
    like you didn’t care
    so I took a big chance
  5. Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there.
    O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Good luck to all

  1. Francis Scott Key, “Star Spangled Banner” lyrics, “To Anacreon in Heaven”, music, old English drinking song. Was there a cover version that made the Top 40?

  2. Why dont you ask him if hes going to stay?
    Why dont you ask him if hes going away?
    Why dont you tell me whats going on?
    Why dont you tell me whos on the phone?
    Why dont you ask him whats going on?
    Why dont you ask him whos the latest on his throne?

2 is The Great Filling Station Hold-Up by Jimmy Buffet.

How 'bout

Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, Hey that’s me and I want you only
Don’t turn me home again, I just can’t face myself alone again

12.) American Pie - Don McLean

I don’t have one to add. Maybe I’ll think of one soon.

thirdwarning beat me to it, so I’ll steal his chance to add one

  1. I’m the son of a third generation farmer
    been married 10 years to the farmer’s daughter
    I’m a god fearing, hard working combine driver
    hoggn’ up the road in my p-p-p-p-plower

  2. And frankly, there’s nothing so unusual about a Jewish cowboy
    […]
    At night I look to the stars
    Well they say got it from me.

  3. First in my class here at M.I.T.
    Got skills, I’m a champion at D&D
    M.C. Escher that’s my favorite MC

  4. Rise to vote sir
    Do geese see god
    do nine men interpret? Nine men I nod

I just wanted to add that I don’t know any of those. I can continue the lyrics to the easy ones, but couldn’t tell you a title, and sure as hell can’t name the artist. Even myself, the band nerd for the last 10 years (omg I’m so old!) couldn’t think of the author of the SSB.

18.) International Harvester - Craig Morgan

(pssst - **her ** chance)

22.)I work down at the Pizza Pit.
I drive an old Hyundai.
I still live with my mom and dad.
I’m 5-foot-three and overweight.

Damn you, thirdwarning, I totally know that song and can’t think of the rest of it! He’s a badass on the internet, 6’4" and svelt.

AARRGH!

damnyoudamnyoudamnyou!

  1. Is Ohio (Come back to Texas) by Bowling for Soup

  2. Is Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

Walk this Way by Aerosmith

Obviously your musical tastes are much different than mine. (Love the Pink Floyd pick though!)

Country Grammar, Nelly

  1. It’s getting late out, I ain’t got no home.
    The pavement’s burning, at 102.
    I don’t need to hear no more excuses
    And I don’t love you.

:smack: I tried to clean this up but missed the edit window.

So far correct guesses for
2) Jimmy Buffet—Great fillin station hold-up
6) Bowling for Soup—Ohio (Come back to Texas)
7) Pink Floyd—Pigs
9) Nelly—Country Grammar
12) Don McLean—American Pie
13) Michael Jackson—Billie Jean
14) Aerosmith—Walk this way
15) Star Spangled Banner—Frances Scott Key

SSG Schwartz

Thunder Road–Bruce Springsteen. (My favorite song by him as a matter of fact)

thirdwarning:

That would be Brad Paisley–Online

  1. *Yeah I can take a little pain
    I could hold it pretty well
    I can watch your little eyes light up
    When you’re walkin’ me through hell
    Yes I’ve been your fool before, babe
    And I probably will again *

20. First in my class here at M.I.T.
Got skills, I’m a champion at D&D
M.C. Escher that’s my favorite MC

Weird Al - White and Nerdy

21. Rise to vote sir
Do geese see god
do nine men interpret? Nine men I nod

Weird Al - Bob

(that’s funny - I only know a handful of Weird Al songs and I happened to recognize those!)

  1. I won’t forget
    they way you held me
    up when I was down.
    I won’t forget
    the way you said
    “Darling I love you”
    you give me faith to go on
  1. Beginning to think that I’m wasting time
    I don’t understand the things I do
    The world outside looks so unkind
    Now I’m counting on you
    To carry me through

Drift Away by Steppenwolf (hopefully spelling doesn’t count)
16. Why dont you ask him if hes going to stay?
Why dont you ask him if hes going away?
Why dont you tell me whats going on?
Why dont you tell me whos on the phone?
Why dont you ask him whats going on?
Why dont you ask him whos the latest on his throne?

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac

  1. Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
    How can I when you build the great wall around you
    In your eyes I saw a future together
    You just look away in the distance.

27.They think we’re all the same
And always we’re to blame
Bullshit I think is lame
It’s time to stop the game
I think it’s time to pay for everything you made me say

Sisters of Mercy, from the album Floodland. I know that the refrain goes “Flood” so I’ll have to guess “Flood” although there are other songs which mention that too, such as the second track on the album.

And wiki sez…yeah, probably “Flood II”.

ETA: I was only looking at Wiki to see a listing of the song titles on the album rather than a lyrics search.

  1. Cheryl Wheeler – Aces.

“We sat around the table and we drank a bottle of wine
And he poured around us like a moat and no one could get us and I was fine.”
