I knew I read it recently!!! - the thread about FLYWHEEL !! AHA!!
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread...light=flywheel

q394 - ...HOEDOWN
SONG - If It Should Please You
lyric -
"So I'm itching to please you, with a topical song
And a few golden oldies and a little hoedown
And I think I know how to make you feel
We're one and the same now, like a big flywheel.

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

Char - AHA ! I KNEW someone from that thread would get it ! I read that flywheel thread , too, and even gave my 6 bits wirth lol....
being a shadetree apprentice mechanic, saving for school, I knew of the flywheel in a car - big heavy sucker, but I guessed nobody would make the random association ! You got it ! That is, indeed ma'am, if you'll per-mit me to give you the Gold on this one, Char....you've finished the list ! you can....go on.... somehow now.... you..... CAN.. LIVE !
A HAHAHAHAH..ahhaaa..er...., Oscar ? Oscar ? whata performace ! what a host ! what a moderator ...yes.... she'll NEVER have to eat dirt AGAIN !
Terra ! Terra (no you don't SAY THE CUE OUT LOUD)OK,OKMARK3,2,1 Char take 14 (snap) Terra is our answer! its our HOME, Toto !(sorry Char, wrong cue cards)..Char says:we can pawn the Gold medal !The LAND is our HOME...as she laughs into the sunset, pulling out carrots and her hair intermittently.....(cut ! That's a wrap).... pretty good Char -I'd say a cinch for the Cannes - maybe Sundance - maybe even the Academy !

TIME FOR A NEW LIST OF TEN

Can I have your autograph Char ? lol

I'll post your win, then: A new ten !

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

Thank you very much Misty, and its very nice to hear from you :) Havn't had you come in lyrics quizzers in awhile, and, HEY ! I know what I should tell you about - the Corfid CAFE - I started in small talk - largely because I was blabbing on as you know I do lol... in here, and thought I should move my general blather over to the cafe. its a 'talk about anything on your mind" thread - with kinda rocky numbers in and out, I think because I have not checked in and replied to some quite enough.

Anyhoo - I appreciate the compliment very much, MistyMoppins :) Yes, I never would have guessed this idea would hold interest for as long as it has.... we've gone through several changes in format, simpler rules, etc., and about 8 or so regulars play the most, but anyone of course is allways welcome. Sure would like to have you play !

Which reminds me, Ihave to post my new 10 clue/questions !

Thank you, Misty

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

I'LL HAVE THE NEW 1- UP BY SATURDAY , GUYS, SORRY FOR THE DELAY.

I cooked up a whole new test list theme, with a test change to the clues, they are, for this ten, "double clues" - you'll see, and a simple theme as in the last theme,. however cloying as I look back at the start of the last ten and I am a little embarrassed - "HAPPY SONGS" - I sounded like Mr. Roger's neighbourhood...lol.

I'd look forward to them being up by early evening tomorrow. Thanks for your patience, everbuddy... :biggrin:

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

Thanks Misty, regarding the Corfid.cafe - it really came very simply from a need to get - and keep-out , my blabberty from this thread, and keep it focused, we wre all having si much fin just talking it got to be hard to find where we were in the game, despite my colorfull updates lol !

BTW - the 'success' if one may say that about lyrics, is not one that should be attributed to me, its the players. i''m just the dummy that asks the questions (granted, with answers allready determined ) - but its definately the player s who desrve the credit. I know everyone appreciates your compliments.

And the cafe has changed to a talk about whatever, whenever, where we can come pretty close to a chat , as I know Patti and I did today. I missed RM in the middle, though; you have to screen refresh to see who all said wjhat. And the idea is sorta that if you have something you want to bend someone's ear on, maybe your down, maybe you're up ! And it doesn;t seem somehoe to warrant a thread of its own - thats the niche for the Cafe.

Thanks again MisytMoppins. Good to see your name in hear again. :biggrin:

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

Misty - one more thought, regarding your comment on the sheer number of 'views' as opposed to posts. It used to be about a 10:1 ratio = view10, post 1 that is... And when I noticed that one time was when Ron Measoner made a casual comment about it, like it might be a record in corfid maybe, who knows, We agreed its interesting to note, but no big deal. I do Wonder how many of those views are coming from outside of corfid proper, like with the tags I have on it, people in other websites on folk music, lyrics etc could do a query on Lightfoot, folk-legends, even geodeticman, and get the thread.

I tagged it with: gordon lightfoot (oddly it changes caps you enter to lower case in the display anyway) ,folk-legend, lyrics , & geodeticman, (5 'words' is all it will take) because I am a member of several different folk & lyrics sites, myspace, other science and math stuff, and I go by geodeticman in all - and maybe we'll get some ppl interested just enough to come in, then stay for the good conversation & music ! I don;t think lyrics holds a record of any kind, even internally - the thread for 'What is you favourite Lightfoot song' comes in first -the old venerable thread that comes up once inawhile like with new memebers, and it rises fron the depths of archival numbers - but its still a live thread, then it gradually sinks back down over time again to 2,000 or something posts !

Its possible the lyrics thread has more loogie-loo views, but I'm pretty sure 'favourite song' has lyrics beat on posts by a long shot. No matter, and at least others brought it up, not myself; raising that question by myself would have felt kind of in poor taste, but its fun someone else did !

Now on views, I noticed that at the time I looked, the 10:1 thing varied seemingly from 5:1 to around 15:1 . So, just for S's and G's, I added 5 thread tags - the key words we all know that commercial sites actually pay people to come up with to catch as many semi-specific queries as possible, and it works. But they take it to a ridiculous spam extreme.

In here, however, when I added the 5 tags, sure enough, at the time we were about 10:1(in lyrics), and rose to 15:1, maybe a fluke, no matter. But it has no bearing on players, now that I think about it. Unles we catch a Lighthead. And as we;ve all said many times, they find us. The tags do work, thread be thread, 5 per.... well enuf of my blabberty. back to work on lyrics for a Satudrday night. I have them all figured out. Just have to format, upload, and throw the giant pump-first Electric main on lol.....we should be up in about an hour or less.

Hi guys... active game hosting has been temporarily displaced by other things beyond my control. I look to be back at it in a few days, In the mean time, I thought you would appreciate knowing: all your answers awaiting reply are correct.

The only song unattempted is: Q401 .... go.... night .... additional clue : What grows on rocks under timberline for the most part ? I'd laechen it to barnacles.

I'd imagine it was hard to see what was left. You guys nailed this double clue thing like know tomorrow. Did you like the format versus our good-ole regular, theme/no theme; single/double clue ? Please let me know. I'll post formally all your remaining replies ASAP.

SORRY for the delay guys. Thank you for your patience
