The word for Monday, October 20, FAST

Barbra Streisand, THE WAY WE WERE

MEM’RIES light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored MEMORIES of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?

MEM’RIES may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember the way we were
The way we were

Nice try, cenozoic!

That quite alright, I’m just surprised that BLONDIE didn’t help you out!

What in the heck is going on in our cities?

J. Geils Band, CENTERFOLD

Does she walk? Does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My homeroom homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat

She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
The MEMORY of my angel
Could never cause me pain

Years go by, I'm lookin' through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in between

My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
(Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold (wooh)
My MEMORY has just been sold
(Angel is the centerfold)

Slipped me notes under the desk
While I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy, I turned away
Before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by

Those soft, fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
To see her in that negligйe
Is really just too much

My blood runs cold
Yeah, my MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
(Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold (oh yeah)
(Angel is the centerfold)

(Na, na, na...)

Yeah, now listen
It's okay, I understand
This ain't no Never-Never Land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on

Take your car, yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private

A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yeah, I guess I gotta buy it

My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
(Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold (wooh)
My MEMORY has just been sold
(My angel is the centerfold)

(Na, na, na...)

Alright, alright
1, 2, 3, 4

(Na, na, na...)

My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

My blood runs cold, oh yeah
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

My father was an only child, my mother was the oldest of 3 who had 3 children (my 2 sisters and myself).

What color(s) would you like?

The world’s smallest personal jet with its own built in parachute that when engaged, will save all of the passengers! Gee, where can I run out and get one!?

Do you think the “happy dances” are AI generated? Again, it’s sad that our children attempt to emulate the over paid, egotistical sports figures!

The Romantics, TALKING IN YOUR SLEEP

When you close your eyes and you go to sleep
And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
I can hear the things that you're dreaming about
When you open up your heart and the truth comes out

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep

When I hold you in my arms at night
Don't you know you're sleeping in the spotlight
And all your dreams that you keep inside
You're telling me the secrets that you just can't hide

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep

When you close your eyes and you fall asleep
Everything about you is a mystery

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're TALKING in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep

Bonnie Raitt, SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
People are TALKIN', TALKIN' 'bout people,
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it.
They think we're lovers kept under cover,
I just ignore it but they keep sayin' we...
Laugh just a little too loud,
Stand just a little too close,
We stare just a little too long.
Maybe they're seein', somethin' we don't darlin'.

Let's give 'em somethin' to TALK about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to TALK about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to TALK about
How about love?

I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You act so nervous, could you be fallin' for me?
It took the rumor to make me wonder,
Now I'm convinced that I'm goin' under.
Thinkin' 'bout you every day,
Dreamin' 'bout you every night.
I'm hopin' that you feel the same way,
Now that we know it, let's really show it darlin'.

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery to figure out
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
How about love?

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about babe,
A little mystery to figure out.
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about,
How about love? Ooh...
Listen to 'em baby
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery won't hurt 'em
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk
How about our love, love, love, love
Whoowhoo mmmm hey oohh whoowhoo
About love, love, love, love
How about they talk about it? uh huh
TALK about love........

Music is beautiful and indeed is a “language” that everyone understands! Thank you for your profound post, that is the precise reason for this thread!

It is SO SAD that our little one’s role models are of questionable character and often paid multi millions. Just my opinion.

The Mamas and The Papas, DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE

While I'm far away from you, my baby,
I know it's hard for you, my baby,
Because it's hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn -

Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
WHISPER a little prayer for me my baby.
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love.

Love can never be exactly like we want it to be.
I could be satisfied knowing you love me.
There's one thing I want you to do especially for me -
And it's something that everybody needs.

While I'm far away from you, my baby,
WHISPER a little prayer for me, my baby,
Because it's hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn.

If there's one thing I want you to do especially for me
Then it's something that everybody needs...

Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
WHISPER a little prayer for me, my baby,
And tell all the stars above -
This is dedicated to the one I love.
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated to the one I love
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated...

R.E.M., LOSING MY RELIGION

Oh life, it's bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every WHISPER
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
Consider this, the hint of the century
Consider this, the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream

Broken down by different families? YIKES! I must admit that I am a bit envious of people with lBIG families. Yep, I grew up never having cousins …..

Thank you (and I do hope it will be a good day) because it was a day that did not go as planned, yesterday!

I just woke up.

If you ever wondered how many traffic cones does it take to stop a bullet, wonder no more……

So if there are folks that like to chill with Snoppy, there must be folks that would be excited to hang with Merv!

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

(Ten)
Ground Control
(Nine)
To Major Tom
(Eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown
(Five)
Engines on
(Four, three, two)
Check ignition
(One)
And may God's love
(Lift-off)
Be with you

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm PAST one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
She knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you he—

Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

U2, I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR

I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for

I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes, I'm STILL running

You broke the bonds and you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believe it

But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I STILL haven't found
What I'm looking for

Orleans, STILL THE ONE

We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know
After all these years
You're STILL the one
I want whisperin' in my ear

You're STILL the one
I want to talk to in bed
STILL the one
That turns my head
We're STILL having fun
And you're STILL the one

I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came
I just wanted to go (wanted to go)
Deep in the desert
I longed for the snow

You're STILL the one
That makes me laugh
STILL the one
That's my better half
We're still having fun
And you're STILL the one
You're STILL the one
That makes me strong
STILL the one
I want to take along
We're STILL having fun
And you're STILL the one (yes you are)

Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new

You're STILL the one
That I love to touch
STILL the one
And I can't get enough
We're STILL having fun
And you're STILL the one

You're STILL the one
Who can scratch my itch
STILL the one
And I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun
And you're STILL the one
You are still the one
That makes me shout
STILL the one
That I dream about
We're STILL having fun
And you're STILL the one

You're STILL the one
Yeah, STILL the one
We're STILL having fun
And you're STILL the one

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN

Eddie waited 'til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open

They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a night club he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The SKY was the limit

Into the great wide open
Under them SKIES of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The SKY was the limit

His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said, "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open

Into the great wide open
Under them SKIES of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

Into the great wide open
Under them SKIES of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

Into the great wide open
Under them SKIES of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

Into the great wide open
Under them SKIES of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

Foo Fighters, LEARN HOW TO FLY

Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
'Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die

Now I'm looking to the SKY to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking cause I'm tired of lying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high

I think I'm done nursing the patience
It can wait one night
I'd give it all away if you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything's alright

Now I'm looking to the SKY to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high
Make my way back home when I learn to

Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own

I'm looking to the SKY to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to

I'm looking to the SKY to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
Make my way back home when I learn to

I love this tune!

Toto, AFRICA

I hear the DRUMS echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Elvis, JAILHOUSE ROCK

The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Spider Murphy played the TENOR SAXOPHONE,
Little Joe was blowin' on the SLIDE TROMBONE.
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Sad Sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock...

Great tune!

You, sweet!? Oh my goodness, dgraff, if you believe that, it’s my guess that Miss Marcy has seasoned your home cooked meals with hallucinogens!

The word for Thursday, October 9, is any song containing a specific reference to a musical instrument. Example for newer players; Billy Joel, PIANO MAN.

A member sent me the following message;

“ Hey honey , was machst du”

Uh, can someone translate that for me?

You’re worried about the bees!? Do you think you’re that sweet?

Are you certain that that is Mel B because it doesn’t look like her? Besides, the video says Melanie C., aka Sporty Spice.

Gee, in Michigan we only get a 3% “convenience charge” for using our credit card!

Cinnamon!? Shut the front door!
