Re: Lyrics game
Aside: Just remembered this show. Apparantly it's still running, which i didn't know, but just wondering if you guys in the UK were ever subjected to this kind of punishment? I can't find any videos of it's Aonghus McAnally hosted hey day, but those of you who like eurovision may recognise current host Linda Martin from when she won (with a song written by twice winner Johnny Logan if i'm correct).

If we were let loose in the countdown studio with a load of instruments we could have a savage game of this. There's already a board and everything like! We could call it Boogiedown!

Re: Lyrics game
Right, then the connection must be maid, cos the other one's Livin' Lovin' Maid (Led Zep).
Ok: what's the connection between these?
"Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty
You're listening to the boy from the big bad city"
"I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them
And they're happy it's a lovely place to be"
"I have to celebrate you baby"

Q. What is the connection between these songs?

"You treat me just like another stranger, well it's nice to meet you sir, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out." (2009)
"It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, 'cos everything is never as it seems." (2010)

Re: Lyrics game
Lesley, although the first part of your post is indeed from Beats International's Dub Be Good to Me, those 'tank fly' lyrics are actually lifted from Johnny Dynell's 1983 hit 'Jam Hot'. Sorry, haven't been on the board for a while, but I've been busy. Not to mention having a good 26th birthday today.Lesley Hines wrote:Right, then the connection must be maid, cos the other one's Livin' Lovin' Maid (Led Zep).

In regards to Ryan's question, maybe it's something to do with Radio 1's Big Weekend? Snow Patrol and Paramore performed at the Big Weekend, and Cheryl performed a cover of Fireflies by Owl City.

Re: Lyrics game
Radio 1's big weekend was after the time I wrote that question. And I had completely forgotten about this topic! It was a bit of an obscure connection and probably not in the spirit of this thread. The three songs are from albums with 'Eyes' in the title:AndyB2007 wrote:In regards to Ryan's question, maybe it's something to do with Radio 1's Big Weekend?

Snow Patrol - Chasing cars from 'Eyes Open'
Paramore - Ignorance from 'Brand New Eyes'
Owl City - Fireflies from 'Ocean Eyes'

Re: Lyrics game
Find the connection:
"I love the crowd, I hate the crowd. I constantly constipate the crowd."
"Whirlwind of praise from below to above / Take flight in the sky got wings like a dove."
"Took her for a drink on Tuesday / we were making love by Wednesday."
"He left no time to regret / Kept his dick wet / With his same old safe bet"
"Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me, Callin me all the time like Blondie"
"Holly came from Miami F.L.A. / hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A."
You ought to recognise some. You won't others, so feel free to Google to find out songs/artists. Looking for the connection.

I am guessing that all the artistes have a Jewish connection (2,3 4 and 6 are, at least)Matt Morrison wrote:Find the connection:

The two you missed out (above) are Gonzales and Peaches respectively, two awesome artists on Kitty-Yo.

Re: Lyrics game
Phil Makepeace first cracked that it was a BT advert (and described the advert), although he said it featured ET, and I told him that it certainly didn't feature ET.Ryan Taylor wrote:Did you ever find out what this song was?Jon Corby wrote:Person who gets it right sets the next one, and so on.

Leslie Hines then suggested that the band was called Stratosphere, and I said I was pretty certain it wasn't that.
Just to prove how right I was, here is the advert, featuring ET, and a band called Stratosfear....
What a thread.

Turns out it was "aiming". I would have got it straight away.Jon Corby wrote:I'm relying on my memory somewhat, but I'm fairly sure they're accurate. I mean, the "headed" might've been "heading" or something like that, but nothing important.Matt Morrison wrote:Are the written lyrics true to their performance, or is part of the game that you have paraphrased them so as to prevent Googlery?

Re: Lyrics game
Definitely a good candidate for a lyric where changing 'heart' to 'arse' works a treat.
