Re: Lightfoot lyrics challenge for GL cognoscenti - give it a try !
 

yes well that one is not too hard
I'll hazard a guess that it has something to do with certain Mr Van Horne. But what I really want know is who is "Sly" when he's at home.(could it be Archie's little brother??)

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

RM
Hey Ron, how you doin ? We meet again, in this town, that is not big enough, for the both of us, no ? Geo steve slips his duster back around behind his holster.... ..Naw... I won't go down that road again tonight...lol... it IS fun ,though. Hope you've been well. You, Sir, have gotten the second ambiguous case in this list ! I must be slippin.... That is a totally valid answer.
Why do I not think of the IYCRMM's ? The BIG ONES What am I, a mind reader ? lol...

Actually, I had intended "Ring Neck Loon", which works, too, thusly:
(ya like that little green/white ring neck thing in the song name ? :biggrin: )
GL to wit:
Ringneck loon, you can't rest, you're a loonie and you don't care less
Ringneck loon, my old friend, been a loon since he don't know when - Ring Neck Loon ~gl

But you get Q115 Ron, because we settled awhile back that if I surveyed for all possible ambiguous cases, we'd never play the game ! lol... then again, I think it was jj suggesting I build a relational database for GL lyrics. Very generous with my time, he is - lol j/k jj ! But,
Off-the-shelf relational database' are rife in "Vanilla" form, it would only take a little customizing and then of course the most laborious part -the data entry - but a coded info dump would do, the source of that GL dataset is what I am not aware of... maybe I'll ask Wayne Francis at Wayne's World...party on Garth ! I hope everyone knows I am kidding, the site is: Lightfoot! and if you havn't heard of it ( a new fan, or..you been on Mars or something) its well worth spending time at: http://www.lightfoot.ca ( Lightfoot!)

Wayne,& PlumbGuru2 (Now "Doug" I think), Shirley H.,& Talbot10 -do you remember?) was one of the originals at the GL chat that PRECEEDED alt.music.lighfoot and danged if I remember the name.... I was drooling rather heavily then in a body cast lol.....that was when I had the original "Mapman" handle ( now taken many times over, then GISMAN, now taken many times over, and of course now my current arcane handle you'd have to be a quasi-tellurroid monk to want..lol... that IS a relevant term... lol....other than "monk"

Back to Ron's winning, BTW. CONGRATULATIONS ,RON, Q115....don't know.... thus:

I don't know where we went wrong but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
- If You Could Read My Mind ~gl

OK that leaves 4 more Q's 116,117,118,& 120

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

Jesse Joe, I'm sorry I must have actually overlooked your post when I wrote Ron's winning Q115....don't know.... answer for IYCRMM, despite the ambiguous case. As I know you are allready aware, even given this odd case of my not seeing your AND John's non-game post, Ron still wins it fair and square. The reason for writing this post is two-fold:
*Its a good illustrative case of the clue 'dots' factor to explain why your case would not work the way the games rules developed ( the dots are definitive as to where the clue word(s) can fit in the 'verse' of the song.
*Secondly, - to apologize for not responding in posted order. Lets go there
first. I can't figure out when I logged in and clicked on this thread's 'last page' -

I saw a fleeting glimpse of John's name and yours as I logged in and clicked 'last page' of this thread...thought I saw your names...thinking to myself 'hey great! some new players in the game'...then oddly, when the ostensibly current or 'last page' came up, all I saw was RM's - Ron's winning post for Q115. Weird. I am awaiting a third surgery for my eyes, from damage several years back in one of the ...accidents..causes crossed eyes in me. . but I have never had "fleeting, dissappearing things I could not see" . Don;t know if thats it, no matter, except for good manners in responding in chronological order. Sorry about that, Chief

Call IT VOODOO, I know, it had to be the new CERN LEP Hadron accelerator firing up. Those pesky protons colliding in opposite directions in a 15 mile loop through those "oops, another super-cooled magnet fell from the 300-foot ceiling" things that the former PO'd consortium, including some MIT whizzes, initially dug the tunnel for 300 feet deep and 15 miles in perimeter, and they'd allready progressed to magnet placement when the whole project changed hands, and MIT quipped [para] "All we know is they stole our tunnel..and then asked us to put the magnets in the rest of the way.."...lol... can't say as I blame 'em, but... seems it sent 'dark matter' spewing though the North American Continent. Spoof statement alert, to the left...If they'd just asked me, I could have told 'em Dark Matter has been known to exist in McDonald's Secret Sauce on the Big Mac for years. Easy. :biggrin:

Anyhoo, sorry for the overlook in proper response order. Nevertheless, as I mentioned as the other reason to post, this is a good illustrator of one of the few fine points of clue rules, and a few other minor things that can throw you, I thought you'd appreciate knowing...

You astutely associated "don't know" thusly: with
(My Notes in blue and in parens)

-

Note: clue numbers, and related words in patches when corect, and correct song titles etc are in yellow - to visually draw them together. i.e
Q115....don't know....
I don't know where we went wrong, but...etc.
- "If You Could Read My Mind" - gl

we are also requested by Char to cite the song name and lyrics patch - as you did.....:clap:

Maybe most helpful of all is the following - the 'dots" clues/rules.I'll show them by writing three fictituous clues just to show dot placement...

Q997....cool lyrics....
Q998....cool end of verse lyrics
Q999 Cool start of verse lyrics....

Above, in 997, dots to left and right, with no caps at start,( unless a proper Noun i.e. Susan would not count) means the word(s) are neither at the end nor the start of the verse....

In 998, There are NO dots to the right, but there ARE dots to the left, means the word(s) given ARE at the END of the line of verse.

In Q999 - the capitalized first letter ( and not a proper noun with an explanatory note given), AND NO DOTS to the left, but there ARE dots to the right means the line of verse BEGINS with the clue word(s).

Hope that helps. If I give those clues as above, assume there will NOT be another word filling at what you're thinking of as maybe the END or START of a verse, such as the "I" you kinda added in your mind ( it IS in the song) but is does not make the clue "end of verse qualified", per the dots, in that case.

I hope this helps, actually it all makes sense for the players after once or so they actually all have said they thought of a song such as you did, but KNEW per the "dot rules" it could not have been the answer....so , other than a mistake here or there by me, for 120 songs/clues , its gone pretty smooth after we all kinda thought through what ended up as the dot rules...lol

Thanks for playin Jesse Joe.... please play more "Mon amis, pour le Francaise" - hey how 'bout them French apples now ? :clap::headbang::biggrin:

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

All very good GeoSteve, Ron is the winner of Q115. Thanks for the explanation, I will try to guess another one. Good thread mon amis, it makes the wheels that are a bit rusted in the head, turn again !!! :biggrin:

{french apples >>>> pommes francaise}

As I attempt to reply to thread :-
"Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !" at:-
"http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=18770"
I can't help noticing that the previous reply by one unlikely named Big Jessie on 09-14-2008, 08:40 AM
is equally unlikely posting number 205.
Well done young Steve you have single-handedly managed to scrrew up the corfid Bulletin Board!!
Steve's original thread subject:-
"Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !" is at:-

BUT one posting hesemsms to have tried to unilaterally change the subject to

and I replied on 09-13-2008, 04:37 PM
quoting his first posting with his revised subject.
it appears however in the original thread
but not Steve's mistitled original from which I culled the name "Sly" and quoted same.
however after my quoted introduction "Originally Posted by geodeticman.5"
is the usual orange arrow which will take you to the missing posting and wonder of wonders this opens up an alternative thread:-
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread...178#post141178
which is a much shorter thread only 5 postings so far
with #1 bearing the original subject title by some oddball geometrician in a "rampant rage" somewhere USA dated 08-05-2008, 07:49 AM
in other words literally then Steve's opening posting to this "alternative" thread has the alternative italianesque subject title:-
Lightfoot lyrics challenge for GL cognoscenti - give it a try !
the 4 subsequent replies to that thread have come from John in CT
Steve himself and a trying hard Charlene anfd posting #5 is from a Podunk lady in CT too
all those 4 replies bear the subject title from the other thread however so Steve's starter is an orphan in that thread
but my reply to it is locked into the other thread and has the later "cognoscenti" subject title and is an orphan amongst postings
in that thread
I will now post this screed on both threads and see if corfid explodes!!

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

well that was a dismal failure both attempts to reply ended up in the original non-cognoscenti thread. all very strange and disturbing
I forgot to say that before I replied the thread listing on the General Discussion forum only shows the one thread the original named
I also noted that on the alternative thread Steve edited his original starter posting and gave this reason
"Last edited by geodeticman.5; 08-05-2008 at 06:41 PM. Reason: change thread name garner more interest"
you vandal you!!!
I had previously found that trying to change a thread title is a waste of effort especially if others have already replied. Instead you have to delete your original posting (which then deletes the entire thread then start over), one reason as well as trying to catch typos that I try to remember to draft my postings and save them on my hard drive
Now I am far from sure that there are two threads.
I now see that posting #1 by Steve on this thread:-
does indeed mention Sly but it was back in August.
I still don't believe that there genuinely have been over 200 replies to this thread though

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

Where are we ?

I've lost track. Between the expanded explanation of the "dot rules", and Mr. Fowles experiment with message board explosives, it's become confusing. I think we need a refresher on which of the posers 115 - 120 have been answered.

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

Ron , Jesse, John, and any other pour soul who came in to this fun thread to have fun today...apparently one person has had trouble - I will check it out.
I have been whacked in and out of a seizure for many hours since this morning....lucky I have not fallen out of the chair...lol...just glasses and hat on the floor. Sit tight everone.... no problemo.... breath deep John ole buddy.... I check it out, what is happening, apparently only to you, which is no reflection on you at all, nor any inference... I am having a little trouble here myself....so bear with me.....please....while I see....

QUICK ANSWER RON is Q115 and Q119 are answered, I'll check it out well, too.

I'll catch us up in a moment on current status. Jesse Joe's entry warranted some help so he'd know the dots rules, after posting that, (and everything going just fine as usual in and out of the thread, for you guys too as I understand, but John - I will look at what you are saying, and see...nobodoy else has had a problem....but I'll see.... thread's been puttin' along just fine.... : ) ) Hasn't it for you other guys - and gals ?

Sorry for the delay since this morning....after about 8:45 or somewhere in there, I had a seizure at my desk here, for several hours.....all is well now but I look back in and all hell has broke loose apparaently over just your posting trouble, John. I'll see what I can do.... my head is still clearing. These darn seizures suck - from the head injury. I am just coming back around a little while ago... what the Sam HE8* is going on ? lol.......

we all have been havin' a great time !

John - lemme see what is happening to you. I will, just breath deeeep. lol...please....

we have....fun in here.... lets not change that... please.... I'll check it out OK ?

Nothing is "single-handedly broken".

Ron - again, sorry for hang up since this morning....and to jesse et al trying to play, and to you too John... sounds like you are trying to play.... thanks !

John, are you upset so many have been having fun ? Or are you REALLY having posting trouble ? - seriously - no one else is having trouble with a 'parallel universe thread".

I do know i SAW your (John) and Jesses's posts this AM, then I did not, but I was just starting to have a seizure a little later.... i dismiss that, as I still posted just fine to reply to Ron and Jesse. John, while you were ranting and raving, I was preparing a glowing post to YOU, turned out 12,000 characters of welcoming you into the thread...apologizing for the delay in overlooking your post out of order this AM, and then I had the seizure... I've come back from it now, only to find you ....ANGRY ? in a simple lyrics game thread we just have fun in ? come on John, lighten up. I WILL see if there is a parallel thread.. hang in there. I am trying to see straight right now....take it easy on me please....my hands are still shaking from the damn seizure....

Char - if you see any of this falderall.... we've been having a great time all along... no thread parallel universes... but I will diligently try to see what happened to John, as he is a value'd member like anyone else...and I thought.... a friend...too.... come one, John !

sit tight everybody - lemme poke around... a few minutes, and I'll post simple game status in a few minutes.OKee doke ?

For what its worth, I've been in and out a few times of the seizure before I cleared my head about 20 minuts ago , fully coming too. Its scarey..Please ease off a little John OK ? I do appreciate it. Really. OK back in a few....

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

I'm following along as best I can amongst the recent chaos and trying to concentrate on the actual postings that are relevant to the game.

keep on keepin on..

Sir John - play nice.. I don't understand what all the fuss is about or why you'd bother taking the time to harangue/question Steve instead of using that time to play the game .. this is the thread for the game and the posts are duly noted at 212 whether you believe it or not....

Steve and all game participants - Resume play.. ;)

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

John, I've looked around, been in and out, there's no parallel thread.... the post count is real... I'm sorry if you had trouble logging in or finding things... I think I know what you've been having trouble with.... everythihg is fine that I can see...... just click on the the thread that has "GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !" out in the listings in the general forum.. come in and have fun old buddy :) you're a welcome addition.. come on in...

IN general, Q's 115 and 120 are in fact answered correctly, leaving , as shown above, albeit more colorfully lol - the same outstanding questions//clues #''s 116,117,118, & 120

Have fun !

Everything is working fine. I had a post prepared for you John that explains and/or asks more Q's re: VanHorne (?) , Archie (?), & Sly - is Sylvestor Stallone.

Be happy to tell you more if you like.... but LET 's PLAY !! :headbang::biggrin::):clap:

THE GAME IS AGAIN IN SESSION

MY THANKS TO THE LOVELY AND TALENTED VANNA, er... I MEAN CHAR,
Game Moderator pro-temp this evening, while all matters of any duplicitous threads were investigated by yours truly, and I carry news from the French-Swiss Border near Geneva:what we believe to have been the case - "drifting dark matter" from the HADRON Collider in CERN - moved across the North American Continent. It took the form of secret sauce in Big Macs once again, so the multi-national consortium has a case of
Plausible Deniability.

Now that we are moving forward, I would like as point of order to review the answers while I was outside looking for two cats this evening, on the edge of Mtn. Lion posted Sanctuary. In other words...I'm lucky to be here tonight, and still moving as well from earlier. Thank you again Char.

The Boss is BACK IN BLACK

ok HARRUMPH AND ALL THAT hmmmm 'tseeeer:

Q115....don't know....SUCCESSFULLY ANSWERED by Ron, Congratulations
Q116....more neon....REMAINS UNANSWERED
Q117....drive all....GRANTED by Char, TO the alarmingly knowledgable RON, in
fact the alarm is still going off, principle of exception used wisely, RON ;)
Q118....it's me REMAINS UNANSWERED + Note to help move things
along - no dots to right....hmmm
Q119 Down around.... SUCCESSFULLY ANSWERED by the inimitable Jesse Joe, Congratulations !
Q120 And to be.... REMAINS UNANSWERED Note: (again) to facilitate expeditious return to our previous momentous momentum, and initial inertia....no dots to left,
and of course note the capital letter A.....

Good Heavens. I will take the liberty, without permission, to answer in a definitive fashion on behalf of jj.........

Q116 - All I'm After

"don't want no MORE NEON lights"


Q118 - It's Worth Believin'

"I've got a funny feeling that IT'S ME".


All credit should go to jj. The rules for answering may be a little 'over his head.'

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

OK guys - short and sweet to get caught up. I've been in Denver most of the day on medical issues, and so I know you've been waiting again today. We've been keepin' up fine,something thats not been a probem, until about Labour day...and several days thereafter, and yesterday -my medical, today -my medical - sorry folks lets address status on the Q's right away. Then, a few words of keepin our eye on the ball of FUN.. I'm gonna skip responding to the bait bu**sh**, and at least the regulars will have fun, and add Char to the new players. John, I DO hope you chose to play and have fun, apology excepted most 'sumptuously' :) I think was the word you used - OK no sweat amigo.
John, also all the regulars know when I'm kidding - you used to, but thats OK, - the secret sauce in Big Macs, stemming !!! - from the Dark Matter fun thing ; fun Geneva; its all-too-familiar to the folks who play regular - we have mini Western shoot-outs with responses and such, and question/clue preludes here and there , and such non-sense - all in fun and no meant to confuse anyone or hurt there feelings.

I'm sure sorry you thought I actually went to Geneva , and Dark Matter wound up in Big Macs....but...lol.... I was only kidding.... lol - I'm sure you knew that.. lol :)

We are adjusting to new players who are non-familiar with the status quo and the little mini-culture of humour in here , too, so having said a quick word about that to clarify, hopefully all new players will have the same kind of fun we've been having, and everyone will have more fun.

But, I won't even touch the erroneous subject of parallel universes/threads..... lets just play eh ?

Q115....don't know....Answered correctly by Ron IYCRMM

Q116....more neon....Answered newly in my absence correctly by jj,
"All I'm After" as in:
All I'm after is the sun and the summer nights
By the seashore, don't want no more neon lights - gl

Q117....drive all.... Answered correcty as awarded by Char to Ron, who wisely kick-started things while I was out - as in out cold - seizure....lol....
with:Never Say Trust Me
as in:
"I can DRIVE ALL night".

Q118....it's me , answered with humour by jj, but correctly alluded to, aided by Ron's by-the-book assistance :) : 'It's Worth Believin'As in:
But I've got a funny feeling that it's me
It's worth believing

Q119 Down around....Answered Correctly by Jesse Joe , with Bend in the water, as in :

Now, we are rough -and-ready as gl says in Bend in the Water,to start our next set of 6 - Q's 121 - 126 !:clap::headbang::biggrin:

OK, Ladies and Gentlemen, start you engines, here are the Q's:

Q125 - in love..
from A Lesson In Love
Life was meant to live and learn, a lesson in love, a lesson in love

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

Q121--my life
From Anything for Love. Used twice.

First three words of the song....
"In My Life, in my time and in each line I've ever sung and in my life was it my imagination or are you still the one who lingers on."

and later in the song "Cause in my life, here in my mind in it now shines...."

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

Q123: Stone cold sober (it was daylight in October_

Q124: That same old obssession (and sometimes i've wondered)


oh and thanks linda.. i was thinking about #126 for a good 10 minutes while you posted and couldnt get it !

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

I was going for a different song with "a dream" (which I still can't recall) when Clouds of Lonliness came to mind. There is another one, I just know it:)

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

we should start a "lightfoot lyrics death-challenge" thread, to see how many different answers we can come up with for the lyric clue :)

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

Sounds intriguing. I'm in.......but the rules must be very, very, VERY specific. Otherwise, the death toll could wipe out Corfid.

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

Hey guys - I tried to answer everyone's posts, and encountered some necessary explanatory notes for new or infrequent players, so the response to ALL of your posts for Q's 121 - 126 are in two parts, first, this talkety-talk part, then second, and the post after this, are the specific clue and responses winnings, Correct Answers, a few notes where necessary etc.

This post contains a thought on a new rule if you don't mind the read thru this one, before the meat-n-potatoes in the next post. The sum total in Characters of the whole shebang in one file exceeded 10,000 characters, so here is the "first half" lol: Forgive the duplicitousness of the: Hey guys et al,
I'm too tired to edit more....You guys really nailed em....Ron I like your thought....Joveski your idea too, and welcome Oh, Linda ! Part 1:

WOW, you guys nailed this 6 ( I had a feeling we might have a few new players, so I TRIED to turn down difficuly a little, to not drive away new players; turns out it was not even CLOSE to neccesary ..lol :biggrin::clap: Holy etymolgy, Batman ! :eek:

You guys got them all in what is the 2nd-fastest time, I think..... though I must be very, very, very sure, or ....I could........ be wrong ! :eek:

In chronological order, as timed by the cesium-A "atomic clock" in Boulder, Colorado, (but broadcast from Fort Collins by the National Bureau of Std's ) a.k.a. The People's Republic of Boulder, Colorado, where Birk's, organic foods, vegans (not just vegetarian vegans, but "veegans" [phonetically spelled here], but Vegans, from the star system Vega, who are the only ones who can afford to buy a house in Boulder, and run breeder reactors to fuel their "green" houses) , and all the above are as "commonplace there as those little , uhm, things on the end of your shoelaces are...there's a NAME for those..."... - steve looks to stage right, at the band, ala Johnny Carson, for an affirmation from the band-leader on the name of those little things on your shoelaces, who shrugs 'I don't know', and cues the drummer for a rim-shot - buh-da-bummp...for lack of something constructive....

Well we have a shut-out - players correct on 7 ! , "wrong" guesses zero...( 6correct songs as I "heard them in my head" PLUS another correct and workable song making 2 correct songs for ONE clue.

I think we need a democratic meeting of the minds on this. We've been sort of wingin' it on this. Notes below outline how we've done it in the first 1/4 or so of the game, and a note on how we've done it the latter 3/4 or so of gaming. I feel no need for having to many rules, but with the goal of having fun, we don't want anyone feeling cheated. I call for a Lightfoot Lyrics Game Summit vote-by-post-proxy :clap::clap::biggrin: establish a majority rule, cause I don't want anyone to feel cheated. So, what do you guys say to voting done on a post-by-poster basis , on who you think should "win" a given clue: "A", "B",or "C" ?, WHERE:

A: is a vote to say BOTH people win it, BOTH songs that WORK, so the facts of the lyrics are the objective and not subjective "no question about it" rule - letting Wayne's World, the "Lightfoot! site" be my question verifier as usual. Regardless of who got one that WORKS first. A.K.A a vote for "everyone with a song that WORKS CO-WINS the clue, as NOTED below. The downside on this has not happened, but there could I suppose be a rush of several jokers (all players thus far excepted) posting the right song AFTER they see someone post it first. This has NOT been a problem in this friendly game. As long as it stays friendly, we won't have that problem.

B: is a vote to say FIRST person to get the song I'd ENVISIONED wins the clue, but that presumes that no one questions the SUBJECTIVE case as I call it, which you've all been gracious enough to do so far, but I don't expect you to, especially when we run that by new players, or ones that don't "know" me...

C: is a vote for FIRST song that WORKS WINS the clue, whether I'd envisioned that one or not is the case. THIS HAS BEEN the informal rule for the latter 3/4 of our gaming so far I've been using.

NOTE: We were originally using the 'everone with a song that works CO-WINS the clue' for awhile in the first 1/4 or so of gaming.

NOTE: Then we shifted to "FIRST SONG that WORKS WINS" for the latter 3/4 or so of the game

I will abstain from voting in the interest of avoiding personal bias in the game.
I don't think its a big deal at all currently. The question just came up in the form of "hey, I thought the ambiguous case was going to be avoided" - which is a fair question, its just not practical to rule out ambiguity now that we are down to 'expert'-level ONE and TWO word clues..... that fit a couple songs frequently. So, I just want everyone to feel its fair....it came up....no biggee.
Also - if someone reads an inconsistency, or certain illogical error on my part above, speak up ! My falleth go before my Pride !! lol :biggrin:

I'll use that one 'one more time', this time, but I'll be looking for "Summit Meeting votes posts" lol :biggrin: :headbang: :clap:

whats YOUR vote ?

Mass response Q's 121-126; part II Meat-n-Potatoes Part

ONWARD TO IMMEDIATELY GERMANE STUFF: i.e. THE GAME !:clap::headbang::biggrin:

In chronological as posted order:

Q125....in love.... Char ANSWERS CORRECTLY posting a song that WORKS, however not the song I'd imagined,no matter by the way we've been playing, she takes it- CONGRATULATIONS Char !
on 'A Lesson in Love' as shown below:

We will let it all hang out, go hand in glove
Life was meant to live and learn, a lesson in love, a lesson in love ~ gl

Q121....my life....Oh, Linda ANSWERS CORRECTLY with a qualifying song, ambiguous case with her choice that WORKS: 'Anything For Love'
CONGRATULATIONS Oh,Linda, as shown below: however, note in this case as a case-in-point
of a few things that are helpful to know in the game:
This one is an interesting case that is illustrative of the 'dot rule', certain parts of the song qualify, others don't, look back in the the thread to the dots rule, and really all that means here is that the lyrics CLUE can't be at the END of a verse, or the BEGINNING, given that there are dots on both sides of the clue, but as you pointed out, the clue appears several places, here is a place that qualifies just fine ! These funny dot rules exist ONLY to identify, as help to you, when a clue word(s) are at the beginning, mid, or end-of-verse...

Shortened clue rules ( excepting cases of proper nouns)
Clue.... no dots at beginning, first letter is in CAPS, so that means the clue word(s) are found at the beginning of the song ( the song in my mind at the time of clue creating by me). *You* might find it elsewhere, and in another song. BTW - you DID . You'll see when I show Joveski's answer ! ....clue no dots at end, means the clue word(s) are at the end of a verse.

....clue.... means the clue word(s) is mid-verse, thats all !

Cause in my life, here in my mind in it now shines
A guiding light, never again will I lose my way
~gl
A winning patch of lyrics as per Wayne's World; LIGHTFOOT !
BTW - thanks for playing Oh,Linda !

Q126.... a dream.... Oh Linda ANSWERS CORRECTLY
CONGRATULATIONS Oh,Linda
with:
'Clouds of Lonelineness'
lyrics patch:

You had a dream, so they had one too
You turned away, they were untrue ~gl

Q121....my life.... ambiguous case....the one I had in mind.....Joveski !so even though Oh,Linda got a working song first, you should be noted for a qualifying song and a CORRECT ANSWER,
Lyrics patch:
I spent most of my life outside in the driving rain
I was in some one-horse town just waiting for a plane to take me back ~gl
Great minds think alike !Joveski

Q123....was daylight....Joveski nails it with a CORRECT ANSWER ! as in:
'Stone Cold Sober'
Lyrics Patch:
I was stone cold sober, it was daylight in October
When you reached across the table, put your hand upon my shoulder ~gl

Q124 And sometimes.... Joveski nails a third ! With a correct answer AGAIN !
from: 'That Same Old Obsession'
Lyrics patch:
I think of my lost love from over the sea
And sometimes I've wondered, if she thinks of me

Trifecta Joveski !
CONGRATULATIONS X 3 Joveski ! HS !

BTW Joveski - the "Death Challenge" sounds fun ! I'm IN

Ron ROFLMAO :clap::clap::clap::clap::biggrin: I hear ya lol

Quote:

Sounds intriguing. I'm in.......but the rules must be very, very, VERY specific. Otherwise, the death toll could wipe out Corfid.

:eek::eek: :clap:

Yesterday's a memory, today is just a friend.
Mountains and Marriane

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

I appreciate your extending dishonourable mention my way, rm

the rules and irregulations are definitely beyond me...thought instead of answering in the form of a question, I'd answer in the form of a clue...

btw, for Q122, first thing that came to mind was APPT - "Yesterday is gone..." but I believe that both Jenney's and my own responses are a violation of rule 122.4 (ie. the dot dot dit dit dot dot rule)
