Q304 Lying warm ....

I remember when best friends were jealous lovers,
Lying warm beneath the covers.

Never Too Close


Q305 .... rainbow ride

It thrills her so, it's a rainbow ride

She's Not the Same

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

Q297 .... might say ....

You might say he's a rural sprout

Boss Man

Q303 The beauty ....

Before you came to call,
The beauty of it all I thought I'd lost and yet

Anything For Love

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

Jenney - Howdy ! I just scanned your submissions, and I gotta say WOW ! - You deserve it on these 4 back to back. OK, for the record:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q304 Lying warm .... = ? Never Too Close - CORRECT !
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q305 .... rainbow ride = ? She's Not the Same - CORRECT # 2 ! Ambig
- interesting to note that that Lightfoot uses this rather unique and colorful phrase twice 'rainbow ride' (as far as I know, may be another somewhere),
as you got a perfectly working ambig from my intended song, where I was suprised to find it as well, cause I knew I'd heard it in another song too, just couldn't remember - but you got it, and I'd hazard a guess the one you picked, most people would intuitively pick first. I would not have guessed to hear it in 'Wild Strawberries' ! - Polka Dot and all ....lol..

Nicely done. I'll go ahead and paste your next two into here if its OK by you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q297 .... might say .... = ? 'Boss Man' CORRECT #3 AMBIG AGAIN !
Intended song was 'I'm Not Sayin That I Love You
Ambig submitted 'Boss Man' both contain the phrase 'might say' and once again I'd say you picked the more intuitive one as I hear them in my head...you know what I mean.... well done .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
and finally, in a tour de force display of etymological excellence:

Q303 The beauty .... = ? 'Anything For Love' - #4 CORRECT ! WOW !
The intended song, too by the way, not that it matters. What I mean is that a valid ambig is equally a win as matching the intended song.The only ambig here that surprised me was (my) finding 'rainbow' ride in 'Wild Strawberries',
for the intended song. Just that it existed twice, as such a....unique phrase !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK once again I gotta think of what does a trifecta for three wins get called when there are four wins ? - I'll go with the braintrust thinktank portrayed on SNL when the group that debated ''DA bears' - and they used the terms, common as I recall any way....sorta.. repeat (2), threepeat (3), fourpeat (4)!

FOURPEAT it is for Jenney ! The crowd goes wild !

I'll post 'em in the X-FILES......:eek:......:clap: :clap: :headbang: :biggrin:

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

way to go..lol, FOUR whole years later, the concept has taken flight...got the idea when i saw that apple had made some sort of promotional 'all U2' pod

i dont have any pod but do have the entire GL catalogue in a playlist on iTunes on the mac...it is well over 10 hours of music (which I actually bought ie. did not download from youtube:) )

enjoy and don't go deaf...i can't stand things in my ears (except Qtips do feel pretty good, lol)

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

Howdy formerly, say, are you far enough out into that cold Altantic to be in Atlantic time zone ?, as opposed to most of the Eastern seaboard in ... Eastern Timezone ? 6 o'clock here, 9 o'clock there - in Atlantic, two hours diff between Mrn and Eastern. Funny...when you are in reply mode you cannot read all the info such as your Delaware and time of post that I could a minute ago, thought maybe I goofed. Well back to biz

Q302 ...feeling bad = ? Farewell to Annabel - Correct! It surely does.

I'll post your winning this one, good to have you in this set of ten; and Thanks for playin. Nail some more if 'you are of a mind too" - my in-laws taught me to say that, ostensibly originating in Illinois farm country, quite south of the Windy City. 'of a morning/evening/whatever' . I picked it up naturally from them, much the same as if a man takes his cup of coffee over to the fireplace hearth, typically in his own home ;) , a guest, usually if another man, will come over and mimic the position of the co-owner of the house as the case may be; human nature I am told - to mimic the body language of someone you are talking too in an affable comversation. Interesting, that.

'Course, when I spoke w/o thinking around my folks while Dad was still around, and w/o thinking say 'of an evening', he would clear his throat unneccesarily ( one of many distinct male gestures - the older men get, the louder and more demonstrative they get, such as ritualistically making a loudish noise when they enter the room or expecially a resteraunt, that sort of thing.

Then they grow much, much older and quiet back down again; sad to watch, that. The loud, gregarious gestures and purplish blood pressure showing itself in resteraunts when two families or two couples get together, even two business people for lunch, the man will most commonly make a big to-do , and louder than the other, some say to 'assert alpha male dominance' - I say horsesh88 to that, I've seen it, and I find it to be a man over that 45 yr old hump and on the leewrd side of 50; making sufficent noises to let all those around know there is still a bull of the woods to contend with.

Funny and odd, aren't we, don't you women think so ? (eyeing possible exits with a perfunctory nod and a furtive glance she is..lol). Academic, I know. And not all men, not all situations, otherwise that starts to form the stereotype portrayed in sit-coms - the last bastion of acceptable politically correct stereotyping and consequential resultant prejudice allowed - of the male, who is almost invariably the baffon in sitcoms. Its revenge of the generations of women and suffrage I think, still getting its angst out in the open.

OK I'm doing to much Chris Stevens character from Northern Exposure on the radio...lol... I'll say now ' geo Steve - out. Thanks for playing formerlyLavender ! You thought you were just making an entry, and look at the thesis I wound up with on ritual anthropological behavior of men as I percieve other men than myself ! :eek: Now you'll probably NEVER come back ! Sorry 'bout that Chief ! So, the Big 'X' cometh. Thanks....please do come back... :biggrin:

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

Absolutely correct formerlyLavender ! I'll post her. :clap:
