NEW REMINDER OF WHAT CLUES ARE LEFT SYSTEM: I am using a new symbol and full list status system as shown below:
Note: If this for any reason is awkward in use for any player, please don't hesitate to say so. Char had wisely recommended "reminder" lists here and there, this automated version should be more thorough, quicker, and more accurate in keeping status from "Host error" lol.

X in the main list to the right means a successfully answered clue, or we can institute other notations, but I see no need now for that. The main list where clues are first given is automatically updated as well, for those who wish to look at the "original' :)

Q170
TURPENTINE
From: Knotty Pine

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

I answered 161 first!
lol
I had that lyric for TEN DOLLARS running thru my old head but it was full of the other songs and I couldn't for the life of me figure it out!
aaargghhh!

and I should have got EVERGREEN with Knotty Pine running thru my head with TURPENTINE as another word from the same song!!!!..
I have a headache now..
;)

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

You beat me to it Char, now if only it's the correct answer ?

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Isn't that a violation of the 'dots rule" ?

Here we go again.

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

oh hells bells..
I can't remember the dot dot dot rules..
lol
between the colours and dots I feel like I'm back in the 70's..
;)

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

I cheated, so I won't reveal the correct answer. But if geosteve accepts Jesse Joe's answer..........things could get ugly.

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

aha - so now I have to think of the RIGHT song..
hmmmm.....
hold off on the ugly for the time being...

Can you enlighten me as to the ... rule? I can't bear to go searching for it in the last 16 pages..

aha - I figured it out - we have ... then the word, it means it should be the last word of the sentence..

ok..gotta think..think think think..
what rhymes with green???hmmmm...hmmm...hmmmm...
I think I hurt myself...

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

MEDIC !!!!

Yes, you are interpreting the rules correctly.

I may be wandering into geo steve's jurisdiction, but here's a slight clue :
It's one of Lightfoot's lesser-known songs, and I don't think I've ever seen it on anyone's list of favorites.

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Q168 ....throng....

I'd say Redwood Hill but I don't think the dot rule works here geo Steve.

I climbed a Redwood Hill
'twas on a rainy day
To rise above the throng
and talk with mother nature for awhile ~ GL


Are we allowed to make it one giant sentence? LOL!!

Then how about I handily combine the nifty dots and dashes . . . _ _ _ . . . and have a little fun. Any guesses?

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

For the sake of sanity, I second that motion.

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

I first read it as THONG..
lol
oh dear. this game is gonna kill me..
dots before AND after the word..what's that mean Ron?

back to EVERGREEN...hmmm....

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

So did I! My dots and dashes are a distress signal, actually, you may use them if you like! Hint Hint they are letters....

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

It's open to various interpretations, but my understanding is that the word between dots is not the beginning word or the last word in a lyric.

I encourage everyone to join Oh, Linda in her campaign to have a "one giant sentence" rule.

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !

Q169
FRIENDLY, WHEN YOUR

song - In A Windowpane

lyric: "Where will you be, my friendly, when your
Telephone ain't givin' out no calls

very tricky little clue-breaking up the sentence had me totally confused..

On Saturday I played hours of Lightfoot while preparing Thanksgiving dinner and getting hte house tidied up....until my son couldn't stand it any longer and turned off my player....lol

ok - still trying to figure out THRONG...
and PYRE..now that rhymes with fire..a song about fire? hmmmmmm....

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Vote for Oh Linda's "one giant sentence rule" !!!

"Where will you be, my friendly, when your"

That's not a lyric, it's a partial lyric, and completely violates the "dots rule".

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Ding!! Ding!! Ding!! Ring Them Bells, Yes indeed!!

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

I think I remember Tony Rice singing one of GL's songs with pyre in it, but I can't place it.

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Seems like that gets mentioned in Pride Of Man. Something about a 'pyre of flame', so not only does it rhyme, it appears to have the same meaning as 'fire'.

CHAR Hi !

Note: if you're feeling confidant on the few real "rules" in the game, and not trying to remember some -such as with infrequent players, new players, or just plain forgot a few :) etc., - skip down to the yellow "onward to the game" - otherwise - for a couple refreshers to enjoy the game more, please read the following:

BTW Char per a few Q's I see you had posts below, no new "rules" - they're all by democratic process now, and the only change fundamentally was like 100 threads back. The dot rule -Hesitate to call it that - is only meant as a help to you , which the fast (frequent - daily) players make quick use of is all. Point isn't to demand conformance, were here to have fun ! :cool: ,its to help figgerin' out.

Same idea in songs no changes, the first song that works with the dots and clues- verbatim, no contractions, sound alikes, etc, wins it, intended song or not ! :clap: Dot help-rules re-iterate (short version)

Q997....cool word(s).... - means clue word's- verbatim, no contractions or
sound alikes, are in the middle of the verse line
Q998....cool word(s) - the clue word(s) are at end of verse line.
Q999 Cool word(s).... - first word capped first letter - the word(s) are at
beginning of the verse line.

The above "helpful things" will effect several of the submits today. It'll come
back 2U and be automatic. like Ron correctly pointing out what he did below.

Only new thing - Jesse gave me 2 claps on lol (that didn't come out right) is the (hear the song in your head "Big Bad John" -melody) BIG X. That now adds the X to the list of original clues by each song, and at each successful post automatically - and satisfies a request ( a rule :eek: ) you had for a very helpful it turns out clue as to whats outstanding left to play. Thats it !

Just wanted to bring ya up to date, and maybe some of that ole' enthusiam will return when you play ! - BTW - on the clue of "turpentine", did ya see my caution (help 4 U ) as to NOT using the song from the early 80's - go back 20 - 23 years, thats a bigggg clue, to the tuffy in the list. Collectors bonus it really qualifies for, but the B1 clue convention threw everypone in a tizzy - except the rock-steady regulars -

like Joveski; he reminds me of a famous alpine climber named Reinhold Messner, (this is a compliment, Joveski :clap: )who was my climbing instructor's partner on big walls for years, - when asked if he preferred climbing in warmer, moist air above 32F, or arctic cold like - 40F and DRY air - insulation doesn't sweat up , BIG CONTROVERSY in the gear industry - his response laconically and calmly : "It makes no difference, all climbing is good. No matter yes ?" Course, Messner died in the Himalaya, alone, in the cold, in the dark. Like Hemingway would describe Citizen Kane's passing and his Rosebud sled....-sigh- Oh well :eek: :biggrin:
He climbed solo and no oxygen in the death zone - in the 23,000 ft and up range :eek: Point Being - no matter all the histrionics we may go thru over rules we think are there, but aren't, or should be, or whatever, Joveski just plays on - and has fun ! :clap::clap::headbang:

Onward to the game now !

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Oh, Linda comments re: ....throng....

Oh,Linda! , I took your reply as a comment in general at first. but if you want me to run it, Just holler !


So nobody goes off-track, I should tell u all right now the ....throng.... versus dots "rule" - lol... boy that dots rule chaffs me 2 lol - for a different reason - its meant to be a help - and allow for the very means by which you can submit an ambig and win it, otherwise, no dots, then it would be only the intended song that wins it, which of course is NOT the case now - ambigs CAN WIN IT, otherwise, - no fun !- its just meant 2 b help, but yes, answers must conform to if it unless I am wrong... but for whatever song you've in mind for throng - reconsider what you think what works and what doesn't - the base data I've imported for the prog I run, for lyrics is: Lighfoot! Wayne Francis site - I call it the "gold" site ! anyhoo - in so far as Wayne is correct, and Gords unusual lyrics spacing may not conform to your ears - which I commend u for using , instead of lookin up - we ought to revisit that rule anyway.... but by that std., throng and my dots are in fact correct - 2 help everyone on that - use the dots that way I assure you - 4 whatever song you've found them in - there is one where it works - - I am not ruling out any song at the moment- meaning i am not saying it isn't redwood hill ! I assure you the dots are correct.

Oh,Linda, if you want me to run this as your submission, I will, I wouldn't hesitate based on concern of the dots - that I AM sure of.

OH - and Char - I am in processing songs as I write - your turpentine will be out in a moment. I commented on it in response to "tin" - think back to around 1963 everybody - pre-UA !!!!

Update - as you see, it is out now. More tomorrow :)

NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO SKIP THE FOLLOWING TALKY-TALK - GO RIGHT TO
Back to Lyrics BIZ
BELOW

Char, just thinking about your comment on turpentine, and how odd it is to use in a song by Gord, it struck me as: thats funny, seems to make sense to me that he sings "she cries turpentine" when he seemingly is comparing a tree to his girlfriend, or a metaphor between the various combinations there lol.. and he mentions turpentine coming out of the tree, as if it (she) were crying...made sense to me in context, -however unappealing for a prosaic song element lol...because thats where turpentine as a classic thinner comes from, typically, older uses for paint thinning, and uniquely I think from the balsam in your neck of the woods - a variation that dries like glass, comes from: trees -(one of several sources, trees, certain bushes, and synthetic "petro-based turp", but notably . one variation that I recalled from Lumber days (THATS why it seemed predictable in a song about trees...) is the Canada Balsam, hopefully not boring, but of brief interest given your nationality, from WIKIPEDIA:

and maybe two more sentences from WIKI is bearable lol :

Mr. Science Wizard: that....is AMAZING ..lol.... not... but thought the Canada Balsam would catch your Patriotic side :biggrin:
BTW, isn't that a weird optical illusion, when you combine red & white, with a blue background, the red seems to lift off the screen higher than the white...Not all people see it, I mentioned it once to Jesse Joe, but I don't think he saw my post, which I did maybe a month after his. Do you see it ? The concept, believe or not (groan) has been used in Cartography for years on glossy media, and you WANT the red map element to be prominent. AMAZING ! sound of -pin dropping- clink....sorry

-oh well. science show...maybe if we are all good they'll play more tomorrow from Mr. Science Wizard, one of my heros as a child, as was the professor on Gilligan's Island - boy did I like that Marianne..... ayyyee :biggrin:

Back to Lyrics BIZ :clap::headbang:

re-iterating Char's submission:

Clue as submitted:Q170 TURPENTINE
Clue,per database:Q170....like turpentine
Song submitted:Knotty Pine would take it if it worked with clue as an ambig, but:
Lyrics as submitted:She cries turpentine doesn't incoporate "like" turpentine...
....REMAINS UNANSWERED - I'm sorry Char - remember the "like turpentine" , and at the end of the lyric verse - you might have the 1986 versus 23 years earlier clues mixed backwards as you think of it - hope that helps.... off of the head is hard on ones like that, but that "like" is pivotal, as is 1963 +/-

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Don't worry Ron , lol.. I won't accept any answer that does not conform to OUR (the whole group that voted one 'em way back...) rules - THE dots...lol. That goes for everyone to be fair - see the turpentine submission - I hate telling people when they have guessed that it is NOT the song I've incorporated into the game, I'll take ambigs, but the DOTS HAVE TO WORK - as you are correctly pointing out.

Its just a game ! Have fun everyone.

Oh - also make sure I can tell when a comment reply is that , or a submission eg Oh,Linda's - I could not tell, 3rd read I believe it is, bot Oh,Linda!, can u tell me ?

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

I mentioned Knotty Pine might not/probably wasn't the answer because of your clue that it was a long time ago... and that it was an odd word only because you usually don't find it in songs..even if it is wholly appropriate to the subject of trees...just an observation of the word itself not the meaning pr application..

How about the answers for GLASS? TIN? FRIENDLY,WHEN YOUR ??
correct or no??

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

What about my answer of 163 ? :)

Q163....ten dollars....


Song: Does Your Mother Know



Lyric: But the letters that you write
In the faded winter light
Just tell her, they tell her
That you've got ten dollars and you'll be all right
And when you get straight you're gonna come back east some day

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Jessi Joe:

Is 'pyre' mentioned in "Pride Of Man" or did I get it wrong? :confused:

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

No, it looks like you are correct.

'It shall cause thy towers to fall and make it be a pyre of flame
Oh God the pride of man broken in the dust again

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Here are the lyrics to Pride Of Man... SU&DIL


Pride of Man, ©1964 by Hamilton Camp


Turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day
And behold the mighty city broken in the dust again
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again

Turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame
Their mighty men are beaten down, their kings have fallen in the ways
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again

Turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Terror is on every side, though the leaders are dismayed
Those who put their faith in fire, in fire their faith shall be repaid
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again

Turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Shout a warning to the nations that the sword of god is raised
On Babylon that mighty city, rich in treasure, wide in fame
It shall cause thy tower to fall and make it be a pyre of flame

Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again
Oh thou that dwell on many waters, rich in treasure, wide in fame
Bow unto a god of gold, thy pride of might shall be thy shame

Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again

And only God can lead the people back into the earth again

Thy holy mountain be restored, thy mercy on thy people Lord
