NOW they are just poppin' into my head!!!
Don McLean - American Pie
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
I'm going to need a ruling on "buck."
Buck is generic for a male of many species...I'll take one

Wildfire - Michael Martin
She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night
63
I reckon "pony" is a bit like "buck."

The Birds and the Bees - Jewel Atkins
Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the moon up above
And a thing called "Love"

Crying In The Rain- Whitesnake
A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night

Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Move It On Over - Hank Williams
Came in last night about a half past ten
That woman of mine she wouldn't let me in
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause a big dog's movin in
71
Thriller - Michael...something
[Rap - Vincent Price:]
Darkness falls across the land
The midnite hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
72
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
The Hop- Aerosmith
Thinkin' 'bout the night life
In the ladies powder room
Brother's like a howlin' wolf
By the light of the silvery moon
Joey's like a Pavlovs dog
When he starts to salivate
A hardened man himself
Is hard to shake his rattle snake
rattle snake - 5 - specific... technical?
Wolf - 5 Exotic?
Dog-1
83
Rocky Raccoon - The Beatles
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
85
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Dog & Butterfly- Heart
There I was with the old man
Stranded again so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
No possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled
Said no, no, no, no, no child
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he likes to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground, laughing
She don't know why, she don't know why
Dog and butterfly

Little Pink Houses - John Cougar Mellencamp
There's a black man with a black cat
Livin' in a black neighborhood
He's got an interstate
Runnin' through his front yard
89
Rain On The Scarecrow - John Cougar Mellencamp
Scarecrow on a wooden cross Blackbird in the barn
Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm
I grew up like my daddy did My grandpa cleared this land
When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I'm just sorry there's no legacy for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the
Farmers Bank foreclosed
Called my old friend Schepman up to auction off the land
He said John it's just my job and I hope you understand
Hey calling it your job ol' hoss sure don't make it right
But if you want me to I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight
And grandma's on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand
Sometimes I hear her singing "Take me to the Promised Land"
When you take away a man's dignity he can't
Work his fields and cows

Pigs (Three Different Ones) - Pink Floyd
Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are
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
Saying "keep on digging"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
When you're down in the pig mine
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag, ha ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass

96
Sheep - Pink Floyd
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan and I have seen
Things are not what they seem.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo,m he hath great power and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

Pigs on the Wing (part one) - Pink Floyd (Part One)
If you didn't care what happened to me,
And I didn't care for you,
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain.
Wondering which of the buggars to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing.
+2
101
Pigs on the Wing - Pink Floyd (Part Two)
You know that I care what happens to you,
And I know that you care for me.
So I don't feel alone,
Or the weight of the stone,
Now that I've found somewhere safe
To bury my bone.
And any fool knows a dog needs a home,
A shelter from pigs on the wing.
103
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
104
Bird Dog- The Everly Brothers
Johnny is a joker (he's a bird)
A very funny joker (he's a bird)
But when he jokes my honey (he's a dog)
His jokin' ain't so funny (what a dog)
Johnny is a joker that's a'tryin' to steal my honey (he's a bird dog)
106
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
The Night Owls - The Little River Band
Move on, there's a howl of a night owl calling
To belong, she's crying in the night
Be strong, find the heart of a night owl falling
Stay up till dawn until the night is gone
113
Revelations - Iron Maiden
"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride."
(G. K. Chesterton English Hymnal)
Just a babe in the black abyss,
No reason for a place like this,
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain,
An easy way for the blind to go,
A clever path for the fools who know
the Secret of the Hanged Man-the smile on his lips.
The light of the Blind-you'll see,
The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening-you'll see.
She came to me with a serpent's kiss,
As the Eye of the Sun Rose on her lips,
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry,
So we lay in the black embrace,
And the Seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched, and I waited for the dawn.
115
Cool Change- Little River Band
Well, I was born in the sign of water
And it's there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales
They are my brothers

Whale - exotic? - 5

Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes.
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone gone gone.
Like a bat out of hell
123
High Hopes - Frank Sinatra
Next time you're found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time you're gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam
127
Cat Scratch Fever - Ted Nugent
Well, I don't know where they come from but they sure do come
I hope they comin' for me
And I don't know how they do it but they sure do it good
I hope they're doin' it for free
They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
Well, the first time that I got it I was just ten years old
I got it from some kitty next door
An' I went to see the doctor and he gave me the cure
I think I got it some more
They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
I got a bad scratch fever
The cat scratch fever

I think it's a great idea, only it should be greater than 100 (300 or 500?), or we'll get there too soon
Jon!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't state it explicitly, but isn't it an international understanding that one plays one song at a time and then waits till its their turn again??????
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jean, I thought since you were the one that came up with the animal motif, you should get to pick what is the max number to reach and whoever gets to that number gets to pick the next criteria and also the max number since some criteria will be easier or harder than others. Make sense?I think it's a great idea, only it should be greater than 100 (300 or 500?), or we'll get there too soon
Jon!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't state it explicitly, but isn't it an international understanding that one plays one song at a time and then waits till its their turn again??????
Big Balls - AC/C

How is it determined that it is one's turn again?
At any rate... just make a ruling. I will reduce points as you all see fit. Also... when a turn is determined...only one tune per post?

UGH!!!
I see now!
I have pretty much ruined this game!
Shit. Fuck. Damn. Hell.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Folks...I AM sorry. I have no defense and no excuse. I just don't know WHAT was in my head! I simply wasn't thinking. Please know this was not one out of malice...just stupidity and forgetfulness.
I will do the right thing an withdraw from this particular game, furthermore, I will spread the love VIA PM when I think of other tunes that play on this game. I will send PMs randomly to other participants.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Dont be so tough on yourself, Jon. You got over enthusiastic...a simple mistake...
and a sincere apology goes a long way.
Thank you, ladysai.
Your absolution means much. I cannot believe I was so... blind.
A personal apology to Jean as he is this "game master."

Damage Inc. - Metallica
Dealing out the agony within
Charging hard and no one's gonna give in
Living on your knees, conformity
Or dying on your feet for honesty
Inbred, our bodies work as one
Bloody, but never cry submission
Following our instinct not a trend
Go against the grain until the end
Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage Incorporated
Slamming through, don't fuck with razorback
Stepping out? You'll feel our hell on your back
Blood follows blood and we make sure
Life ain't for you and we're the cure
Honesty is my only excuse
Try to rob us of it, but it's no use
Steamroller action crushing all
Victim is your name and you shall fall
razorback - 5
Total - 40
(Thanks Jon!)
No, don't withdraw!!!!!!!! Just do the right thing in a different way: go back to your posts and edit out everything that's out of turn, leaving only one tune, and re-calculate your score, everything will be fine!!!!!!!!
it does!
let it be 250 points this time

Gator Tails And Monkey Ribs
by The Spats
Gator tails, monkey ribs
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Gorilla biscuits and potato chips
Elephant grape juice and turtle pie
Banana splitter with a ham on rye
Got a girl in Mississippi
Stayed next door to my Uncle Trippy
Brought her on down to Smokey's Cafe
The waiter asked her what she wanted
And this is what she said
[CHORUS]
Gator tails, monkey ribs
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Gorilla biscuits and potato chips
Elephant grape juice
and turtle pie
Banana splitter with a ham on rye
The waiter was shocked
He stood in his tracks
He jammed through the kitchen
And he split right back
He had the Chef by the hand
He said, Dig this chick I think she's insane
[BRIDGE]
I jumped to my feet
I took his jaw
The dude got nervous
And he called the law
The next thing I knew
I was sittin' in jail
Trying to figure out a way
To pay my bail
[repeat CHORUS]

Bob Dylan - Man gave names to all the animals
(...)He saw an animal that liked to growl
Big furry paws and he liked to howl
Great big furry back and furry hair
Ah, think I'll call it a bear
(...)He saw an animal up on a hill
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled
He saw milk coming out but he didn't know how
Ah, think I'll call it a cow
(...)He saw an animal that liked to snort
Horns on his head and they weren't too short
It looked like there wasn't nothing that he couldn't pull
Ah, think I'll call it a bull
(...) He saw an animal leaving a muddy trail
Real dirty face and a curly tail
He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big
Ah, think I'll call it a pig
(...)Next animal that he did meet
Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet
Eating grass on a mountainside so steep
Ah, think I'll call it a sheep
(I didn't count the snake in, because it was never named, only assumed in the last verse)

There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying,
and he gets himself up on one elbow,

Watch me wallabys feed.
They're a dangerous breed mate.
So watch me wallabys feed.

Please allow me to make amends for the last game.
In this game let's post tunes that pose a question. 1 point for such a tune and a second point if the posed question is genuinely answered in that tune. A third point awarded if the question is answered specifically in another tune.
Post all tunes...artists and lyrical snippet that may apply.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
I'll begin this:
American Pie - Don MClean
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?

All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
if I understood the rules right:
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone? - Gone to graveyards, every one
When will they ever learn,
When will they every learn?
I have here a question (1 point), an answer (1 point), and another question in the same verse, I don't know if I can count it in
