That was actually the first thing I thought of, but then I thought, “Well, no one on the Dope is gonna say that…”

Also, I always do terribly at Feuds, but I’m genuinely surprised that no one else mentioned “Ironic” for rain. Bah. 🙂

1. cheating – The Stranger by Billy Joel
2. Murder – Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel
3. Rain – Somewhere Along the Line by Billy Joel
4. Travelling – Travelin’ Prayer by Billy Joel
5. Jail – Light as the Breeze by Leonard Cohen and covered by Billy Joel
6. Fire – We Didn’t Start the Fire by Billy Joel
7. water or a body of water – The Downeaster Alexa by Billy Joel
8. Dancing – All You Wanna Do is Dance by Billy Joel
9. Sun – Los Angelenos by Billy Joel
10. Food – I’ve Loved These Days by Billy Joel

\*5 – alternate pick is “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” which doesn’t mention jail specifically, but does referenence Panmunjom, where negotiations between to end the Korean war and exchange prisoners were held, and Bridge on the River Kwai, which is about a prisoner-of-war camp.

OK, I checked the rules, and it didn’t say anything about not having more than one entry per person, so forgive me if this is gauche. I just couldn’t resist. I’m happy to have one (or both) of my entries excluded from scoring so others can get in the game, because I’m clearly not trying to win, here.

1. cheating – Trouble in Paradise by Bruce Springsteen
2. Murder – Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
3. Rain – Jungleland by Bruce Springsteen
4. Travelling – Bobby Jean by Bruce Springsteen
5. Jail – Johnny 99 by Bruce Springsteen
6. Fire – Fire by Bruce Springsteen
7. water or a body of water – The River by Bruce Springsteen
8. Dancing – Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen
9. Sun – Waitin’ on a Sunny Day by Bruce Springsteen
10. Food - Sherry Darling by Bruce Springsteen

\*2 - Murder, Incorporated is the obvious choice, but I like Nebraska better.  
\*10 - mentions beer, which some consider a food.

One entry per player is an unofficial rule at least. Also, you’ll want to fix the format of your answers or you’ll end up having all of them thrown out. Rebo scores them on a computer so they need to be in a fairly rigid format.

**SiXSwordS** is #39. That includes one set of answers by **JMLVT68** , provided he comes back and reformats his answers.

I’ll add in the rule of only one set of answers per person. I kinda thought it was obvious.

While you’re at it, be sure to add the rule “All players must be living human beings.” Just to cover all the bases. 😉
