This game was going strong until the board lapse of last winter. The rules are simple: A word is picked, and the players must name song titles containing that word. Posters break into two teams, I’ll be on Team 1 and the next person to post will be on Team 2. As new people join, they pick the team opposite of the last to join, keeping it even. Play continues as each team names songs with the given word. The full title and artist must be given. If a team doesn’t respond within 5 hours, the other team gets a point. A new word is picked, and play continues. OK? Begin. The word is **girl(s)**.

Ok, a few things. 1. The word will change when one team fails to post for a certain amount of time. I originally said 5 hours, but thinking about it…that’s too long. How about 2 hours? \*\* Teams now have 2 hours to post each answer \*\* 1. Be sure to specify which team you are answering for every time. 2. You don’t need to compensate for double posts. If two people from Team 1 were to post answers at the same time, Team 2 still only has to respond with one answer. 3. **LifeOnWry** should be on TEAM 1 4. If you can’t remember the original artist, naming an artist who covered the song is fine. Team 1 * * * I Want Your Girlfriend to be my Girlfriend - Reel Big Fish ---
