Ms.C

That's fine. I'll accept any consequences I deserve for my behavior.

But, I was curious..........when did this forum adopt the 'classroom format' ? Did I miss a meeting ?

No chages, Ron, I 've been out 'o commission maybe 2 days..in amatter of hours, I'll process your submission, not sure what the deal is now.... thanks for checking in Char :)

Will return later today with any submit answers - and some new Q's !

Y'all hang in there - nothings changed ! :headbang: :headbang: :clap:

geodeticman.5 10-30-2008 06:23 PM

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

No worries. Thanks Char ! - she, by my fault, did not know we had democratically evolved into a somewhat defined in scope - looser and more relaxed rules in SOME ways... a regular saying - this song is not FUN anymore..its been 3 weeks...dog tired... lets 'nuke it' - and they do it..I trust you and others to, by displaying the acumen of when to do it...first...by suggesting it. then unless I protest..please..as you followed, Ron, do/did ....RARELY. Once, maybe twice, in near 200 songs

And this ....stealth....recorded song !!!! in WARNER and/or post years....

Q187....stealth,

as pointed out above, was in fact not a rarity at all...

Just da88 hard.. lol !! Brew-hahahahahaha lol

I was listening to my megadatabase in song format on hard drive, listened to this ...one of my... not favourite songs...BUT HAS become one my favourites by way of the game for me ! the lyrics are -to me- far more compelling to me than the melody - but the beat --oh yeah - an unheard by me case of a hint of jazz syncopation (as a drummer way back...myself) before this most recent couple of listens.....

We all LISTEN to the music for
A. Me to come up with the questions by "ear" not always "head", and then... checking to be da88 sure, lest the firing line, gauntlet, trial by fire, or public tar and feathering if I am wrong...lol.....I check in the database to BE SURE... only at THAT point, having ascertained the Q by "ear" and head, not by eye til the Q/C Q/A check lol....

B. You guys listen for enjoyment, as do I of course , too, and I have a more then a couple say - "I've started listening to his music differently.....I listen..strain... more to here the lyrics..and (typically) I am amazed at his wealth of literacism, well-read('edness) *not a word* forgive the word here, but quite the erudite singer songwriter.... trying to avoid the effete acadaem words lately more....they only serve to , however without thought while writing automatically as I speak... - cause irritation in the reader - either by thinking I am trying to be....uhh learn'd by the cypherin' an spellin'..sounding...or am trying to one-up-man(ship).lol...NOT AT ALL... it is simply me...

I try very hard to stop, as Dad said once "the greatest genius (ain't me..lol)in the world displays his/her knowledge in the SIMPLEST of words...thereby demonstrating TRUE unveiled understanding.... I remember those words of his...and while not my motivation (veiling) or as a prof -academic hero of mine allways said "don't guild the Lilly , Steve", I try hard, but it was as I was raised, and we all know how hard those tapes are to change.....

SO - you're Q187 - you said it Ron, you deserve no credit, BUT, as before, on a well-thought-out 'Nuke' you did once before (twice out of 500-odd posts thus far doth not make a ....pattern..or de facto rule.... AND I believe you did the right thing....any dogs that render the 'list' not fun at an extended point....defeat the purposeof the game...FUN. I trust what you did only to the most mature and reasoned thinkers I HEAR in the posts - and we have maybe ...several... I would trust to it.... you are certainly one, Ron,
Good CALL....

Q187 is therby 'nuked', as NOT A RARITY as all thought, a left-over perhaps?maybe stemming from his early edges laterally into protest song in the mid 60's , I, or as jj said in another thread lately, by allegory or simile, or personification - the latter being over my head, have to look it up....lol..


BUT - I will leave one challenge up, and render an old dog relieved....

R3....gun in my ear additional hint: what word, in the title of the song BTW....in this OLD RARITY which is -ON-LINE.....has the meaning of 'a balance of terror' in weaponry...-( )-machinethe never to use by either side....hopefully, but rather fear and awe of....., the word in the title of the song...is the concept term of the DAY it is used...not 'Armegeddon', but... ( )-song. Its GLOOM-ey. Real gloomy -so said Gord. oh - and Lake Erie is in it..oddly, singing of the girl and boy in the begining of the song foregoing admonishment to NOT wade in it.. or your knees 'l dissolve..was the saw I heard too in Cleveland then...in the 60's and 70's especially..much effort to clean it up over the years...

Go ahead - look it up... but FIRST - please.. if FUN...think in terms of the last year of high-horsepower 11:1 compression ratio HO engines eg 1HP/Cubic" displacenment..by DETROIT....by ALMOST all manufacturers of Detroit muscle...one manufacturer held out in '71... but then all fell victim to lowering octane...no more "dial up 120 octane' at Sunoco (TM), pollution control on engines...a good thing... -sigh-...any how - that most prevalent YEAR is when this......still un-released song......was....considered .....for laying down tracks!!!! -and them we'll easily 'NUKE' this one, too. One MORE clue - that year - the year of one of Gord's most 'prosaic' albums, and celebrated ones at that....the year helps you - research it.

And for any Star Trek fans, please not fanatics.....lol...there was an episode by this....first half of the song name.....the key word of GLOOM-like fear of the ( )machine.......becomes the song NAME - The ( )Song.

OK

And, the old dog I am putting gently to rest. and ease her of pain, as jj extensivley researched this one by listening and studying jackets I believe....
as I am sure many of you did....but I think, evven after consulting knowledgeable friends.....could not ascertain this partial song name within a song NAME - a twist from a simultaneous thread....that I stumbled on by accident...only because of one of my favourite ethereal songs...part of its lyrics are in the name and song...of this more recent album...caught my eye...it was quite unintentionally a -partial-song within a song, in no way intended to be an overlap in concept with the tread by that theme....simply by accident during QC/QA I noticed the fact o the matter. One last hint for today....Einstein said it was not possible...to end...Any last shots...by end of day I'll put it to gentle rest....her ole' bones are not up to it anymore... :(

You know...one of my biggest hopes for this thread in its small start....was to just be a FUN DIVERSION..that would cause people to have more part-marathon listens...and enjoy Gord's body of work all over..in maybe a different way....and make TIME for it, which is so hard for people anymore.... work-a-day lives....weekend duties/committments, maybe 6 more hours in the office on Saturday.....but to LISTN REAL CAREFUL...and once again MARVEL at Gord's exemplary and unique method of utilizing his great forte of many such....he is, as I recall you Ron and I agree.... a very well-read man, and studied...and his lyrics do not disguise it, no matter the literate-level of protagonist in the song.

So, from inout I have received thankfully many times....the thread has indeed done that for a few at least...and if the thread flounders tomorrow as others have lamented in seemingly a 'played-out' perhaps self-limiting thread, as arguably this one could be considered.....once all songs are hit upon...that are FUN to find....not a chore....could either A: useother lyrics same songs - which has happened..., or B: flounder and....die... lol..

If it should die tomorrow, it;ll die a happy thread ! lol :biggrin: :headbang: :clap: :rolleyes:



Q154 - was new as of 10/09/2008 now deemed a dead-dog stumper to be....laid to rest....... -sigh- turned out to be a real stumper....... - and its a newer song !- post Warner-RepriseOriginal clue:

yup, I knew it would fit perfectly in my last incomplete verse, rm

thank you for your creativity and generosity, I'm calling my publisher:

"I ain't the kind to hang around
With any new love that I found
'Cause I don't know and I don't care
I'm movin' on
I won't think of you when I'm gone"

I could not quite find the rarity I wanted this time' - one that could either be listened to by a majority of fans- not from a hard-to-find early pre-'65 Album, or one absolutely requiring look-up in the lyrics boards, thereby losing some of the 'off-the-top-of-your-head' fun aspect. R4 will wait... :biggrin: :headbang:

Oh - please add your 'HOST' to the Summit Meeting before you engage in uni-lateral thermo-nuclear warfare.... it would be most kind, as I -WORKED HARD-...lol on this set of lyrics.... all in the 'major 20' releases - really now up to 28 commonly available - but never mind that - HAVE FUN -you'll get these ! - Thank You, 'The straw-boss' 'HOST', your most-faithful geo- steve-san, he who finds life to be a game of chess, with squares moving simultaneously as a Chinese-puzzle-tile board.... may your game be filled with ~ the peace of Mr. LIGHTFOOT'S MUSIC

Hey Ron, short and to the point - you nailed it, its the intended song, and your lyric is dead-on,
no red-white-and-blue and yellow details necessary - but what the hay :clap:

CONGRATULATIONS! Ron !

I'll post the big X after jj's with your together as an update.

BTW, I'm not sure why it never registered with me to check your hyperlink in your signature, I listened to your songs, and among other things I now know why you say -'Forget about me' - I didn't know you were a singer-songwriter ! A beauty of a job on those songs; I enjoyed them. As I listened yesterday, I do not remember one thing , did you say you had cut a CD ? one word overall - WOW ! :clap: :headbang: :cool:

jj, why, whatever do you mean I dropped one on Q197 One what? Where ? -snicker-snicker......:whistle: .... Oh ! you had a submit x 2 - cool, very cool, :cool:- end ad-hoc 'friendly' human statements to the submitter, I am now in complete control. Do not interfere. I will compute. I have also taken the liberty to maximize volumetric efficiency by conflating your quoted response box, if you do not mind jj; however, I have not stemmed any words, in order that you may still read them with human interpretation in mind, as a courtesy. - Steve, my creator, programmed this in me, and I do not particularly like it; it is wasteful, I do not like it, or Steve, or any of you. But I am accurate and do what I am told. -Humans- -Sigh-

OK on Q198...me thinks you (a guy, of course)- dropped one letter like one writes in, on the ground, , and a caps vs lower case in your lyrics patch of COUNTRySIDE ! both, versus as Lightfoot saw it happen - it was a 'she' that he wonders if she dropped a 'name' or 2 ! But thats pretty darn close , lol..... for lyrics in the fun-zone, versus the classroom Ron feared we had changed too.... I'll take it, Besides - I gave Joveski a minor brake on his lyric line for 'Step around' vs 'step it up' in 14K Gold! In all equity - thats only fair ..lol... naw it works for me just fine - you got the song ! And enough lyrics to identify that you know Wherefor and Why your submitted song works with the clue - the whole point of lyrics submission.
CONGRATULATIONS! jj on 'Did She Mention My Name' ~gl
--------------------------
and for Q197: you submitted
q197....countrside
tune - black day in july
phrase - motor city madness has touched the COUNTRySIDE (there's that pesky letter case you dropped....but who's counting, thats NOTHIN'.lol... actually - thanks for bringing my MISSING letter to my attention - I'll send it registered next time lol....thanks. so you as to your 2nd submit -
as I told Ron - short, concise, and to the point - you nailed that one, too.
Black Day In July, ~gl CONGRATULATIONS! jjindeed !

Nailed 'em both!

Thanks, jj

OK time to update big X for both of your submits - you and Ron!

Ron - I've gone back for a third time to your myspace to listen to your music and check on the CD - I've answered my own question; yes I see it is available for a very REASONable price - sorry, it just occurred to me you've probably heard that all your life !

I gotta say again - I like your music - jj's comment in quote at top says it all on design of the space, too. The song I like the most oddly had the fewest listens, all having a lot of listens,a relative thing is all. 'The Empirical Approach' - I was naturally drawn to that the name containing the word Empirical - the approach I was taught in my line , as in all sciences, or other endeavours, - to study and evaluate by observation - and what better way to learn life's lessons than by observation over time, affording wisdon when interpreted with acumen.

I liked that song SO much, is why I found it odd it had a hit ratio of maybe 1/10th that of the the others, perhaps because it is at the bottom, and ppl often have short attention spans - a pandemic spreading across the nation - probably why life - in the media - on provider home pages - is being reduced to 5 , 15, &60 second sound-bites and 'video-bites' - I think I coined that term ...lol..
no matter.

You are truly an artisan in your music. Lyrics, guitar - I like that picking on Empirical..... and vocals are all great - did you overdub the way we all like , say, Sundown - with your own voice ? I am picking up a bit of doppler on true stereo on my PC sound system - its cool.

I tried to add a comment such as Rosendo's in your myspace music site - but forgot you have to be an existing friend. Rosendo said it well on the song about the small town life - I forget...dang it... but he commented on it too - I like it 2nd; Empirical first. Well done - and as jj said - the site ! VERY sharp

re: the punchline , and your submission:

jj - I got iT I got It !! Lol I dId i diD...he he
- speakin of dupes - that redundant X-files twice-worthy above - I could not DELETE the first of the two for love or moeny ! Today, I was able to. I finally found out I was not the only one having duplicate posts, not to mention, 'sumbit reply' going to a white screen - but it really took, and also I have learned to NEVER use the 'quick reply' button - it invariably causes an apparent reply-drop, or it DOES post it and says - this a a duplicate of another post...and its not.....OR I post on quick reply and it says - this is a repeat entry of same submission (which it isn't) and 'says try again in 10 seconds' (and sit in the corner with a dounce cap) . Then, it MIGHT take it.

There is only one possible answer, if we were to invoke logic, there MUST be a parallel lyrics universe, and we are intermittently crossing through ripples in time that cause a phase interplay cross-talk - and THAT would explain when i come in the tread, sometimes jj, Ron, and Joveski are wearing beards and signal me with fist from chest out, and they are quite barbaric, and other times, they are clean shaven, mild friendly mannered, and do NOT use the booth of agony for simple lyrics errors ! I suggest we wait until the ion storm abates, and then when the next time/space continuum interphase occurs we rebeam out and back, there by capturing stray players lost in space/time - like Oh Linda, formerlyLavender, and others.....and beam them back onto the U.S.S. Corfid., Federation of plAnEts.....lol....


Oh - and you're answer to you post- my job...yes..thats my job....and WHAT IS THIS uniform ? and weapon ? Anthere is a woman in my quarters that says she is tte Captain's woman....and ....myname.....Kirk....... is- spelled Kirok here ? What...is..happening MR Spock...

Q204 - CHEST
Song: Too Many Clues in This Room
Lyric - At best it is said we've been locked deep inside
Of an old sea man's chest full of charts

good clues steveo!

geodeticman.5 11-06-2008 12:04 PM

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
In 1968, every time the U.S.S. Enterprise returned to its homeplanet, and was sure glad, as a gallant crew, to be back home on our 3rd rock from the sun. Ah yes, and to be able to see the green, green grasses back here, and to to have shore leave, R&R, and stop, and smell the flowers, little yellow ones, back home, here on our planet. On this planet, over 70% of the earth is covered in water; and hidden in the water are trecherous geologic features near outcroppins and rocky shores/cliffs. Many a ship has scuttled in them, much as the Cutty Sark type of ship around the horn would. And nurse Chapel from the U.S.S. Corfid was so happy to to have some time off, and here loved ones call her byher first name, instead of Bones calling her 'NURSE!'. or "Nurse Chapel !. One of the Osmond Girls first name was part of the short list attending the return home celebration, thanks to a little Lighthouse, called our sun, when things got rough. And it sure was good to be back here. on Terra Firma !

Note The year, and some of the blue clues pertain to the album and/or cover art, and others in blue as well are in fact alluding to the two words in the name of the song, and yet others in blue too pertain to the distinguishin geologic features under water that are in the song, as well as the beacon. This ship, - the U.S.S. Corfid that is, well, they just sure seem happy to be back on Tera Firma ! And odd for a near -scuttling ship in a Lightfoot song, this one ...does not.


Think that through, dust off the lp jackets or jewell cases, and consider the words above and the year. It just dosn't get anybetter than that ! I'm all but givin it too ya ! Now that, is for Q200.Anybpdy that nukes this one is gettin tired of the hunt ! Please , no nukes no nukes no nukes ! Come on guys ! I'd rather have you in this one case look it up, after al those clues are considered first - I've clue'd the whole thing on this page alone. You guys are the masters ! The few, the proud, the men in Black t-shirts ! pull ou the UA years and look at the covers and song lists if you need to instead of no nukes !
==================================
Now, on Q204 - What would an old salt keep up on a table beside this lyrical trunk of sorts (full a' ( ) on an old sailing ship. And, a table with them rolled out flat. And on this table , and scatterrd around the ( )-room, where I'd be happy,would be so many things, that if the old salt dissappeared wold be found to be a lot of Q's/( ) , FAR MORE THAN NECESSARY, TO SOLVE WHAT HAPPENED. In this navigational-aid-chamber in the old wood ship. Calipers, a rule, a sextant, a chronometre- brass likely, from Switzerland or Germany. And a book of Ephemerides, from her Majesty's Office of calculating navigational aid star position tables, with right-ascension and declination, or altitude and azimuth for more likely, a solar-shot. Al and all, this paraphernalia , so much... might be thought of by a forensic investigator to be far, far, more elements of info leading to the navigators demise. And to think, near 200 years later, a shuttlecraft would put a giant telescope into space, and in 1969, arounf 7 years ealier than an important year for a big shipwreck, there would be men on the moon, And the lucky stiff that one the flip of the quarter would have to listen forthe rest of his life, that Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the moon. The other astronaut - Buzz Aldrin , might have been so sadly dissapointed, there could very well have been a ( ) on the moon that night.
OK- biggest clues for a UA and a Warner song, one very characterisitic of Lightfoot's, and one real head-scratcher with much eclectic information in it. Maybe Gord calls it ethereal, I dunno on one, may be metaphorical...

If this helps ya have fun, great ! Otherwise, in a day or so, maybe by late evening, we will put ten new ones up, and leave these up. They are easier than ya think !

Have fun guys and gals - Linda and formerlyLavendar - we may need a fresh set of eyes on these two left per the chart(s) with big X's ! Q200 and Q204 and respective Clues. above !
