I think it's still hotly debated! So I don't think so.:)

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

OK folks!! Just a few quick stats on this one.

We've had a total of 35 unique (non-duplicative songs) mentions in all from 11 Corfid members. RM is leading the way with 9, followed by Jesse Jo with 5 and joveski with 4.

The beverages outnumber foods 19 to 16. Let's start with the beverages: wine and liquor (various) top the list with five mentions each, followed by beer/ale at 4. As for the foods, fruits have the most mentions (4), including apples, wild strawberries, blackberry and candy apples.

Thanks to everyone who's participated in such a short period of time! I'm sure there are many more......hmmmm...let me think.....

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

I'd like to wager $10 on RM to win.

Song : I'll Tag Along

Lyric :

Cups of tea and all of that Zen

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

. . . and another "tea" from Black Day in July, "and sip your cup of tea."

That makes 3 teas, 2 coffees. Cream or sugar?

Hi Linda - lol... when I mentioned that it was rather exhaustively examined over time, back to alt.music.lightfoot, and a "de facto quorum vote" established (whatever) a semi-offical concurrence (on the famous mystery sound in Cabaret) - I for one think that just because over about a one month period a majority of alt.music.lightfoot "agreed" it was (whatever)-it does not make it so, either ! -

There were" prominent members" - (snicker at the hubris) opinions, leading to a "don't argue over it more" consensus lol.... it is still of course open to debate. It has been said Gordon stated what it was once, but that smacks of Lightfoot urban/rural-sprout legend, versus citeable quote.

When I listen I hear a can-pop-top (to me) opening, the quaff, ahhh!, and what sounds then like a lighter (Zippo) followed by a first drag and sound of relief, as I recall. And the vistory from Stonewall I think is taking a "here are all the most prevalent entries for the sound" approach, in order that they not posture as siding with one or more "consensus" answers (phooeey) - I agree its open until Lightfoot himself says it is 'this or that" LOL - No matter what I say here, which I intend to be balanced, and casual, there will be a long-timer back to alt.musc that "recalls the (opposite of whatever I say) lol.......

Extensive or minimal posts from that chat rom can be on-line here if you want Linda, on the sound, (and some really hilarious takes) and the mercilessly ribbed member that was deemed a sacreligious 3 days or so behind the "consesus" lol.... was I believe "Telekidd". I did a (surprise) satire of the whole thing and ...ego... by tyeing it into Aliens, or Bigfoot Running Walmart by reverse Engineering Zayre's Store in Zone #51 ( cheapest cr8* discount store in Ohio,,,Wes U remember ?) and it was extricated to my embarrassment and posted all over the web as an "atomic" tag of sorts billing the fun and talk in alt.musc.lightfoot ! - the one about Walmart Aliens...lol....

I agree - there is no such thing as a closed subject on subjective opinion re: Lightfoot songs, unless the case as I mentioned (that I THINK... did occur) takes place - The Man making a"preferably" written quote" - if someone has there Songbook "booklet" - I don't its packed away in moving boxes... :(
I THINK there is a quote from GL on it... - that is 'not-atypically' leaving room for thought, as he tends to leave for in his woprk , as though they are INDEED akin to paintings , which most of us would say they are similar too...lyrical tapestry, etc.... AND GL has been paraphrased as saying on may of his "more ethereal songs' eg "Is There Anyone Home", and 'Too Many Clues in this Room' ( a REAL MIND-BENDER).

Then there's the ego-and-the -id one-armed jugglers of "A Lesson in Love" - one many find tedious, melody in specific ;repetituous I believe I hear frequently, but I LIKE IT.. the lyrics.. the Freudian/Jung'ian/Roger'ian et al models of psycho-analyses therapy ( and THOSE are old-school) - now there are "officially" (I hate that word lol ) around 28 per a family-member's Dr. And, he said 'do not have (your family member) treated IN THIS CASE brand-new fast-track HMO-driven Psychological Doctorate (PD. i think is the new rubric) versus the whole nine-yards(*) PhD in Psychology "real" - hope I offend no one by that - my mother is one(PhD) so there is a family bias to her opinion, and my family member's former P.C.P's as well, when it came up in the past, who he said make SURE they( go to a ) full-fledged PhD n Psych - ""he*8 with what the HMO says max billable per hour us per hour is, precluding a real PhD Psychologist, versus the "fast-track" = less $/billable hour in practice....gosh... :rolleyes: all that from ethereal songs lol - notably GL's comment on a "walk down shrink alley" - from A Lesson...

Note: * 'Whole nine yards" - looked that phrase up and it is thought to mean "the WWII (gattling guns) that came with belts of ammo it that were yards long, and if the enemy/threat was sudfficient, they'd "give 'em the 'whole nine yards' of ammo ! Yechh military eupemisms when we don't even know it lol... but I DO like John Wayne's funny "poster sold on the web" that show him in full WWII regalia, holiing a long gun pointed high, and a from his character in "The Sand Pebbles" I believe, a quote bubbled over his image, saying "Life is tuff....and its..tuffer.. if yer' stupid..." lol.....

I'd agree - renew the sound !, give fresh minds and opinions in a food/beverage subject for sure - and if you'd like - it is fun reading to look at case-closers on it in the alt.mus chat, and humbler posts as well about it take place.....and if u really want to raz me... the Walmart Alien theory !

Lets rasie the Titanic - Zippo et al - on equal merit again ! herehere ! ( I lean toward the sound of: a diet pepsi Lime and a zippo lighting a cigarette"

Go for it !:cool: :clap:

Oh Linda - I'll be curious to hear what you think of the after your successful Q175 submit: a 3-POST DISCUSSION OF LYRICS GAME HOSTING THOUGHTS - an attempt at the lighter side of lyrics games......and lyrics musing for all as well...it was too long (imagine that! @(23,000 characters) I wrote just thinking out loud (oh boy..) after your successful Q175 submit in Inedibles Lyrics, - too long to put in a PM (5000 character max)and even thread posts R 10,000 max, so I had to split my dubious ruminations into 3 (three !) max posts in Lyrics to examine the various thoughts from both sides now of lyrics and trying to help ppl have a fun time.... it grew into a tongue-in-cheek study on corfid-human nature....(ohH boooy...LOL C what U think OK ?) your name is in it ! ur famous 1 well, sort of.... I am going to change my geodeticman.5 name to Max Post.... lol....10k Characters all the way...all well developed characitures.... he he:biggrin: :biggrin: :rolleyes::clap:

Song: May I


And if you don't say may I, then I'll pass the cake around
And I won't give you any, but you won't make a sound
You don't eat soap(?), anyhow



While you're at the spindry, I'll pass the pie around
But you won't make a sound
You don't eat blackbird(?) anyhow

Song : Someone To Believe In

Lyrics :

You know living a life of ease
don't make your meals taste better if you please

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

I believe rm and the Rays will experience a similar fate

note:
I withdrew after "harvest" was discarded by the Russian judge

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

I understand. I almost submitted "Butternut Grove" (since it is an edible nut), but reconsidered. I refuse to end up like Barbaro.

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

I allowed "dinner" for mandoann, "meals" for RM, so "food" is on just as solid ground. I'm placing these in the "miscellaneous" category on my tracker. Add to these Jesse Joe's flourish earlier today and the foods have now overtaken the beverages!

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

From Triangle...

Rock lobsters and tuna fish

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

"...just fetch some wine and set it there" (Minstrel of the Dawn)

"...where maps are contained and what's left of his brains when his crew threw his balls to the sharks" (Too Many Clues In This Room). I guess that counts as fish food but remember I didn't write the line, G.L. did.

Boathouse



I'd sooner eat down at the boathouse,?????

Or I could be back at the alehouse, with a flagon or two ????

What do you think Oh Linda ! :rolleyes: NO, YES, Maybe !!! :biggrin:

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

"Ballad Of The Yarmouth Castle'

And the drinks are passed around

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

Jesse Joe appears to be in full gallop.....I'd best use my whip

Song : High And Dry

Lyric :

Her sails billow like bubbles, while you sip your daily doubles

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

For the same reason dinner, meals and food worked, I'd say yes to eat (counting in miscellaneous category). Since I did allow "gin bottle" from Circle of Steel it would seem logical to include alehouse too. Flagon is questionable, however, but just for a moment. People do say things like "drink a pint" with the assumption meaning beer/ale/stout, etc. I wonder if anyone ever says "drink a flagon." Presumably that's what GL had in mind, especially since it's in the same line with ale. So let's go for it and err on the side of yes. The key here is they are all in the context of food. Respectable indeed, Jesse Joe. Good work! This brings the food and beverages to an even tie!

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

The two of you are tied at 12 unique submissions apiece! Giddyup!

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

Oh RM has a whip too, or he borrowed it from Char ! :eek:

Song: Long Way Back Home


All I have is my drink
And the time left to think
While time slips away

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

Song: Lazy Mornin',


Another lazy mornin', come suppertime I'm gonna light my barbecue


I've checked to see that it had not been used so far... It's kind of surprising that it hasn't, maybe I've missed it, if so, {My Apologies} :)

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

Holy Smokes ! Jesse Joe is flying......

Song : Rosanna

Lyrics (2 submissions) :

With kisses for a king and coffee on a silver tray

Lyric : The dinner's served at eight o'clock on time

lol ! No Ron, your flying. I cant think of no more except...

Song: Oh Linda


Painted eyes and lips like wine

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

Me, too, since from the same song we got "coffee's in the kitchen," from your rival RM no less!

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

This one's a repeat (only the 2nd in 54 unique submissions)...

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

Are you sure ? I found "dinner's served" from Yarmouth Castle, but not from Rosanna.

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

Hi RM--fezo beat you to it :) on day #2. C'mon, I know you've got another one in you!

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

That dang fezo (you can't trust that guy).

Just kidding........thank you for the clarification.

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

Nope....he's spent. To ensure he retains some value for stud services, it's best that I rein in this well-lathered and weary steed. I concede the race to Jesse Joe.

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

I've gone back to listen to that "sound" and now I've managed to convince myself it's the beverage/quaff sound....

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

I think we missed one of the earlier ones. It comes from a song whose title is two synonyms. Can anyone find it?
DQ

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

'candy cane' from Wherefore & Why?

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

oh linda,
is there a consolidated list? (to more easily check for repeats)

Re: GL songs which reference, of all things, food! A new quizzer...
 

But of course, Heir Dr. Quixote, is it perhaps...Indiana Cervantes ? No matter, vee have vaysof finding the answerd vee vant. OK enuff of the Indie Jones 4
parady: simply put:

DQ: Assuming of course you meant in other words that we missed a song that contained food or drink or related allowable sundries, and its from an earlier one - meaning of course an older but not obscure pre-UA or non domestic - which you wouod have made some refercne to , if I know you well enough by now...so it must be an earlier UA.

And - the song name must be a synonym of two words - I'll not define what everone knows for synonym in my "Do I understand your Clue DQ ?", but that gave me cause to think of the older UA songs, titles of 2 words, meaning essentially the same thing, and then, with a nearly immediately in mind for me: 8 hours of unconsciousness and falling off my chair lol...with no apparent time pasage...lol..apparantly the UNconscious mind can ruminate just as the SUB-conscious mind..... so with all these criteria in mind: I present 2 U:

FALSE START: wait a minute 'tseeer

So hear is my sort -of instantaneeous attempt to submit a food/drink/sundry phrase from a song to Linda, and to answer your helpful challenge at the same time, thanks DR. Quixote : :clap:

==================================
Submission to Linda for a food/drink: (that also aswers Professor DQ's "we missed one" early one at the same time

first - the whole shebang:
(Professor?)
Song:
Pussywillows, Cat-tails

NOTE: For the Professor's challenge:

Synonym qualifier in song name "PussyWillows ~ Cat-Tails"
(is there a diference? ) - IAE are synonyms IMO
Lyrics: with food, &/or drink submit highlighted:


Pussywillows,cat-tails,soft winds and roses
Rainpools in the woodland, water to my knees
Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
Catbirds and cornfields (?), daydreams together
Riding on the roadside, the dust gets in your eyes
Reveling, disheveling, the summer nights can bring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses

Slanted rays and colored days, stark blue horizons
Naked limbs and wheat bins, hazy afternoons
Voicing, rejoicing, the wine cups do bring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses

Harsh nights and candlelights, woodfires a-blazin'
Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul
Treasuring, remembering, the promise of spring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses


Might tha' one be the sng yer' a lookin' for Dr. ? And, the tile is infact a synonym by me book, yours ?

Linda - the underlined lyrics that are more solid are underlined and in gold

than the rather weak in white.

OKayBOyz dazeet. Whaddya think ? Linda, Good Dr, ? :biggrin: :headbang: :clap: :cool:
