Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Hey guys, sorry I was not interractive today other than Sunday morning wee hours. MY growing colorful database/program for std responses with all the std acoutrements is down & out - its mirror program left it...lol...so I will do old fashioned hand-typed responses the way this all started out..dang those WERE good days....but it still had heart, and a loyal following. Now, we still have the loyal following, but somehow the program with the ...pat..answers, the yellow this. the always cyan Jesse, the always greeh Oh Linda!, the always everything formatted-consistent

I'll give it that, and its not like its dead.... its {"in the shop") from a logical error that blew its little brain - which is a foisting way of saying its my fault - i did not anticipate a set of conditions that included two erroneous responses back-to-back, but with em containing the words given , just not in the same place.... well my &if &then &do &gotup &went. A program to speed things up (which it did for along time - in my response time) ain't any good if it slows me down - this wekend. So here os der old afshin avay.

In a nutshell, I will bomb thru the relatively few outstanding ones- ones outstanding - you know what i mean. :biggrin:

OK:Joveski we established q150 did not work with "Is There anyone home"-
sorry; a shame too cause that is one of my top 6 favourite songs. That was one of the program runs that crashed - it found the two words required in different places... and blew a Norton Thiokol O-ring during cold lift-off.

OK Jessie Joe; correct on Q145 Pretending with this "submission"

Quote:

Q145 Pretending....

Song: "Can't Depend On Love"

Pretending is for strangers who don't know you
I'll skip the program 4 lines of lyrics and all the 3-colour congrat to get caught up here - well done Jesse.

OK - Joveski's next crack at Q150....does anyone..... , Oh man what a drag-- you are bustin your yourself up on this one, got to slow down and check out those dot rules, i can print a short, terse version I 've written, RM was right with his pronostication of dire plunging in cold waters on this with the WRECK...it had the words, just per dots in the wrong place; i.e. your submission:

wreck of the edmund fitzgerald?

Quote:

"does anyone know where the love of god goes"
09-28-2008 04:55 AM
( my emphasis on underlining....steve)

The dots would have had to be: "Does anyone....." with the cap D to work, but the existing clue is .....does anyone...... meaning in the middle of a sentence. I still give you a hearty-and-hale slap on the pigskin Steve McQueen-Cool back for a solid try, Mende. Sorry...

Then RM submits a grand-slam of sorts, no triple run....but my metas are on the wrong fors this AM lol.... with:


Quote:

Q150 - Sit Down Young Stranger

"John loves Mary
Does anyone love me ? "
CORRECT Ron ! Congrats ! SDYS IS the correct answer ! well done. Your......military tactics are intruiging RM; you sit and watch your first in command , Joveski, attack, while you sit back and watch -me- for weakness, Ron eyeing the Sarian Brandy appraisingly, I respond "RON-Khan"' you seem to see everything in a military context....this is a "Social Occassion", Ron-Khan." To which Ron responds with a fierce grin and "Captain", it has been said that "Social Occassions" are only"Warfare Concealed" - I prefer it more ....open....more....honest". "And if you've no objections, Mr. Trebek, having answer ed the question correctly, I ....grow ..fatigued..again... I should like to return to my quarters.
Yes, of course, "Khan-Ron, Ohlean -Sing" - ....Khan smiles approvingly at my powers of deduction, and says.... "Excellent, Captain, excellent".

Good work, Ron. !

Which leaves one more submission:

Oh, Linda! submits: (for) Q148....with a gift....

Quote:

Would that be Seven Island Suite~GL

Any woman with a gift of wisdom
Would not seek her answers there.~GL
7 islands indeed is the answer to Q148 ....with a gift....

Well played Oh,Linda - congrats. That catches-us up without all the formalities of whole lyrics patches and consistent wording and highlghted terms placement... which w/o the program running I was too tired this AM to do w/o going cross-eyed !

Hey guys - Thank You SOOOO much for playing... I DO appreciate it...

That leaves:JUST - Q146, Q147 & Q149 !

What?!!!!! I telling ya, we're gonna need a "comma rule".

I honestly thought that SDYS was an incorrect answer.

I've always heard the lyrics as 2 distinct sentences, which would disqualify "Does anyone love me ?" due to a "dot rules" violation.

geodeticman.5 09-29-2008 03:53 PM

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
RM., just to re-assure you how right you were, it seems Lightfoot songs can be have the lyrics broken up in two different and/or same verses with regularity, so that the "iambic pentameter" (I think the English teacher calls it, when referring to the musical rhyming nature of both one-line-to the next, and Lightfoot's acknowledged specialty ( one of several) - that being, it has been said, his uncanny ability to have a musically-flowing rhyme within a verse, as somewhat the case in SDYS, which your "mind's ear" told me you were admirably working off of the top of your head, and not lookin-up the while shootin match in the lyrics board, as follows:

as Lightfoot wrote SDYS:

There's rockets in the meadows and ships out on the sea
The answer's in the forest, carved upon a tree

John loves Mary, does anyone love me,

versus your assumption of why you were lkely wrong, but were not, you assumed the lyrics flowed deez avayea:

John loves Mary,
does anyone love me,

hence, the need to fix the program quickly, as this would have been fully show in ther std output of the lyrics key program, which woud have show in my inital response to you you the first, single line, winning case of

John loves Mary, does anyone love me,

(which is why your SDYS won, and indeed was the song I had planned in the key to begin with)

Congrats again Ron ! Trust thineself 2 B true to thine lyrics self-confidence,
and aso fruth anda swan....something like that !:biggrin::rolleyes:

"Mister Rock of Ages" you've got time on your "hands"

ok, based on your "hammer" and "big song" clues, you may rather be seeking CRT:

no authoity here as well, but i'll add an extra clue, cause i know the song but cant think of the name!

"face and hands turned up to the sky" rings a bell somewhere

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Q 146 - .. and hands

This one is making me crazy!! Some came to mind but weren't exactly like the clue so I had to research it! (bad moderator!)

Gord uses "HANDS" in a lot of his songs!! But none of these songs listed below are correct!

AAARRGGGHHH!!!! HELP!!!
Somebody please find the song with AND HANDS in it!
lol

THE HANDS
Black day in July:
And the soul of Motor City is bared across the land
As the book of law and order is taken in the hands
Of the sons of the fathers who were carried to this land
Black day in July

HER HAND
Rosanna
Rosanna moves across the floor
Her perfume fills the air as she walks beside my easy chair
I touch her hand once more
And I may never sleep again
I like the bag she put me in

YOUR HAND
Stone Cold Sober
I was stone cold sober, it was daylight in October
When you reached across the table, put your hand upon my shoulder

MY HAND
Steel Rail Blues
Now here I am with my hat in my hand
Standing on the broad highway will you give a ride
To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night

THE HAND
Rich Man's Spiritual
And when he takes me by the hand
I know the Lord will understand
I'm gonna get me a smiling angel to lead me home

MY HANDS
Ecstacy Made Easy
Have a little laughter if you please
I won't even mind if it takes awhile
I've got time on my hands
I feel another chapter in the breeze

SECOND HAND
Endless Wire
Down in the black of a bottomless hole
There's a few good second hand scenes
Deep in the dark of a heavenly blue
Where the sea runs green

MY HAND
Heaven Don't Deserve Me
I'm not afraid that when I'm dying
There'll be no one to hold my hand
If there's a God up there he loves me
As much as my old woman can
I don't intend to be a martyr
I don't give a damn what people say
And if I never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway

HER HANDS
Don Quixote
Reaching for his saddlebag
He takes a battered book into his hands

SO HAND
Triangle
So hand me my grip on this old sailing ship

MY HAND
Early Morning Rain
In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
With an achin' in my heart
And my pockets full of sand

MY HAND
Biscuit City:
I'd rather be in Biscuit City, with my banjo in my hand
Than take a big vacation in some foreign land

MY HAND
Salute
I held out my hand and he shook it twice
It seemed to me like I'd been here before

RIGHT HAND
Boathouse
I'd rather be in mosquito alley, out of my right hand lane
You should see my mosquito tally, all that moves is fair game

HER HAND
Sit Down Young Stranger
My mother's eyes grow misty, there's a trembling in her hand

IN GLOVE
Lesson In Love
Hang on Mr. Barnum, hang on Jenny Lind
We will meet you in streets of gold where eternity begins
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

HIS HAND
Miguel
A lawman came to capture him, the gun jumped in his hand
Oh Miguel the mother cried, you must run now or you'll die

ONE HAND
Never Say Trust Me
The sky above is filled with stars
The road is long and no cars are in sight
With one hand on the wheel I've been
Driving all day, I can drive all night

TREMBLING HAND
Second Cup of Coffee
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
I'll be reaching for the bottle Lord, before this day is done

HER HAND
The Last Time I saw Her
The last time I held her hand
Her touch was autumn, spring and summer and winter too

MY HAND
A Message To The Wind
Hold my hand, so I can hold you in my heart
Hold my hand, so I can guide you through the forest of the night

and

Hold my hand, now it's time for me to go
Take my love and let it rest for we must meet again somehow

MY HAND
Forgive Me Lord
Take my hand and lead me as you choose
It seems we ain't got much to lose

HER HAND
Go Go Round
Alone upon the sidewalks of despair
'Twas there she wandered
With her suitcase in her hand, her fate she pondered

YOUR HAND
Approaching Lavendar
If you'd like to try your hand at understanding Lavender
Then you must be very sure that life is not a game

COLD HAND
Cold Hands from New York
It was too unreal for me
I found no one who trusted me
There was no man could offer me
A cold hand from New York

and

COLD HANDS
Cold hands from New York
A voice within you cries won't someone please help me
I'll do the same for you one day
If you should ever pass my way and need me

A HAND
On Yonge Street
Everywhere you go in a city by a lake
Back there in the flow you might give a hand a shake

A HAND and YOUR HANDS
Boss Man
Boss Man Boss Man what do you say
If you can't lend a hand then get outta my way
It'll be murder in the first degree
If you ever lay your hands on me

THE HAND
Rainbow Trout
So I took her by the hand, she took me by the will
She was all dolled up like a blue eyed pup
Looking for something to spill

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Char, that's amazing! I've really been digging for this one...even posted a reply earlier this evening and realized I'd gotten so lost from the original clue I had to go back and delete it! I think there may be a typo in the clue?;)

jj 10-05-2008 09:41 PM

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
char, did you purposefully omit my responses from your exhaustive list?

Linda, i think you're right about the typo...i presume steve is just nervous about confessing this as he knows collectively we corfiddlers have lost 100+ hours of sleep...plus it's all i've been thinking about during rush hour commute this past week, lol

charlene 10-05-2008 10:44 PM

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
I hated to 'cheat' but lordy I was going nuts. I tried to keep the ones I found separate from the others that had been mentioned.. it's quite astounding how many times Gord uses HANDS in his lyrics..

now if Steve will let us know what song the AND HANDS is in I can get some bloody rest..

;)

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
I thought it might be CRT but the clue given didn't fit.. the subsequent teaser clues took me to CRT but 'their hands' wasn't the clue we started with so off I went to suss it out.... and figured it was possibly a typo anyway..(regardless of any medical issues)

I found it an interesting bit of trivia to note how often Lightfoot uses HANDS in his songs..I enjoyed the break from the work I'm doing here at home.

I'd say James is DA WINNER!!

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Note: I deleted my semi-duplicate thread of this one above, this one has all the first did plus the new set of 6 ! And some basic typos corrected, and some muddy thinking this ealry am corrected. A re-read might be to your advantage. Thanks guys - and Oh! BTW - I hereby dub this thread the "Sundown Saloon".

Light-Heads and all welcome. Fights are only intterupted if my stuff is getting broken... so sit down, or pull-up a bar-stool, hook a heel on the brass rail, do any Western Cliche you want -and relax to the mellow sounds..played exclusively in here, of Gordon Lightfoot.

Have a drink, a smoke, cigars allowed, talk to "Shut-up-and deal-Im Loosin" over in the corner about house rules on gamblin.... and our mascot, for now, is a lightbulb on a 70's post-kitsch lamp with no shade, but a green, Gord-style Hawaiin Shirt, and the Lightbulb poppin-out of the shirt of course, THE ORIGINAL LIGHTHEAD. acoutrements open to discussion. The "Parrot" mascot down at the other end, though we may repect it and like it here and there..we actually use for target practice for fun when the boys would otherwise be tree'in the town ....- they shoot the parrot..this ain't no Margarita bar, this is...a DIVE...! And Proud of it !

back to thread as it was, with a few corrections, and dupe of it from above deleted, nothing is missing, its all here.

Hi guys. Old friends. Compadres ...lol..

I am so sorry for both the delay, and all your hard work in earnest belief that i would not make more than 2 mistakes in 150 questions. I have scrutinized things all night long, had a few incidents that will be illustrative in a sec., and
decided what to do, largely upon the total weight of your collective input. This still is a democracy.

I've been having very , very long 7 - 9 hour seizures, and as many 3 -6 hour ones. I have not been functional in here for you during that time. Again I'm sorry. I have made it, without seizure, long enough to the astute eye not only "spotted" in other threads, but in this one, almost very day, for between 30 and 60 minutes, trying to figure out where Q146 went wrong. I did. I typo'd as you guys thought, and it crashed my program , too...aaaaghhh ! lol


I certainly havn't been too embarrassed to poke my head in my own thread, to be embarrassed over a third error in 150 clues would be a bit'o hubris eh?

Naw, I've poked around wherever about 15 - 20 minuts perusal would take me, and then back to our lyrics thread as long as I could stay conscious. I'm better today.. The thread: Its ours, you guys have worked so hard in here and been patient with me, hats off to ya :) & because it is so much fun to watch you guys amazingly think though 1 -2 word clues...and get 'em !. Thats hard. Writing them is hard, but in a different way.

Char your exhaustive effort was noble if not deflating to you, seing you bust yourself up trying to work from what I figured out tonight was an invalid clue. I'm so sorry - I check myself so carefully for that...I triple check these new set of forthcoming later this thread clue's after I hear them in my head, as we do in this game. When I enterd Q146 before, the typo'd clue that previously I enterd right and CRT came out, , well, go figure, when I re-enterd my clue as typo'd, while investigating, Entered it and the song into the database program. Then it crashed. But I extracted the song - CRT - confirming that, which led me succinctly to what the clue should have been. ....hands would have been correct for that, too. Sure sorry. But you set a tone for, among other things....perseverance. Thank you.

jj - and others who lost sleep, and were distracted while driving , stummped on this one, please forgive me.

I respect very much you guys honouring me as "boss" the way you do, but its no trip for me....remember its a democracy, I am just the the traffic director, and of course only I know the answer pair, as I came up with them.
But we can rotate that, if you'd like, too !

Would you guys like to come up with a rotating deal of who is "the dealer", the 'boss" for a set of 6 or 12 ? In any event, lets go to 6 songs this time to go to an even 160, then maybe, what/ 10 - 18 songs each time, give more up time while I process answers or whomever ? Would you like me to continue 'dealing" the Q's, or pass the deal routinely to you all. It is more work than you think, I GUARANTEE IT. But I don't get nervous.....just frustrated over extremely painful seizures and subsequent neck deterioration. Its actually very good for me. I do enjoy it. I've no qualms with keepin on keepin on, but would be immediately open to passin the deal on a regular basis..

I really am thank ful for your guys turn-out this time, and you remaining productivvvvvvvvvvveD/an (its starting right now I bwtter post a new list of 6)

Unless you would like to discuss my error when I am back in tell you right now that jj takes the most obvious cake, upon imperfect premise, but as the error was mine, he should not be penalized. He read intuitively into my extra clues on this one to lead him correctly to CRT. Congrats, jj.

The error to be found was in fact that while indeed I had selected CRT for the song, the clue, as a few of you estimated, might have been typo'd, in either the original ....and hands, and the apparently mistaken .....hands. The original was a typo of what should have read
Q146 Clue: ....their hands. And then most of you would have got it. My apologies. If anyone has amore equitable view of the way to declare relative winner of this one; I'm listening. One good take is its a 13th floor option, was, as several of you said. Personally, I admire the intuition jj showed by knowing what song I was thinkng by virtue of my clues.

OK its gettin worse so I'm postong the next 6 right now..talk to u all later ! And jj definately winds the cake, now especially that I hear concurrence from Char - my error should not penalize your oppurtunities.
CONGRATULATIONS ! jj

imo, 3 out of 150 is acceptable ...that's the same as my good shot to total shot ratio in a typical golf round (which, in anyone's opinion, is unacceptable, lol)

hey, hope things turn around for the better on the health front:)

these are tough...i think i know the #151 song title but can't come up with the lyric phrase much more than what was provided in the clue so i will let it be til the brain uncramps

#156 could be a trick, you actually looking for 'AND the river', no? ;)
if so it could be the Pony Man...'and the river tells a story by the window of my bed'...or something along those lines

but it violates the dot dot rule, doesn't it...so it's a goose egg for jj:(

i think you need to ask steve the same question, lol
...as for the Lighthead bar, I'll have what he's having:)

as for #151, Poor Lil' Abner...errr, Allison

the chorus ends with something like "...or what she's thinking Deep Inside"

"the River" clue is undoubtedly going to lead to commuter chaos in the morning...I'm shootin blanks...better summon Joveski from the bullpen

Although I would love to see jj twist in the wind, for the sake of traffic flow in the Toronto area, I offer :

Q156......the river

Song : If I Could

Lyric :

"I would turn his head away to the river"

OK Joveski, you heard the man, jj needs you to ride for him pro-tempe, time to Cowboy uP !, BTW , your Bull is named...HE is named (excuuuuuse me you bullsh88 baga bullcr** tied up in leather) (the bull that is..he was a complainin')Ahemmm OK Jovesky on deck, jj in the pit, Ron, with a success under his belt in this new 6 allready, I just aint a writ on it yet... well Ron is ridin rescue to Joveski, and Char will be dazzling us with dressage and barrel-ridin soon as she gets in that Rodea-Queen Sequinee thing.. and the others stand by for their bull-ride..

OK Joveski, cowboy uP ! The bull's name is: "Hell hath no Plymouth Fury" very funny, thinks Jovesky, we'll see if those candy pants think its funny after ridin' him.....but for jj, I'dd do it for a friend... when a good man is down for a few minutes, I'll cover a friend...you bet...ok you bag a bones - lookin at the bull... ( he's wrapped the oakem-soaked hemp rope, don't smoke that rope now Son, aww we're just kiddin, ain't we folks ! Joveski , oblivious to the blather in the background, is pounding the oakum-soaked hemp rope into his waxed leather ropin gloves, and rituallistically going thru his etched -in-stone superstitions, tugs down hard one more time on his black hat, looks up at his sweetheart in the stands, one last look to see of the bull was holdin air on purpose to exhale the minute the gate is opened, and the saddle slips looser.....damnit ! the bool fooled me again on held air.. I wonder if they make Hack-amores with 8 penny nails sticking out all over,, that get that Bulls attention,,scheming scheming animal he;'s a thinking, when all is right, he says to the men all one leg over the Lucifer's Box top rail, lookin barely up at them from his hemp rope smahed into pklace jusr right..... no sign of the bull holding inhailed air on that tack , looks up and says in one well worn-in word they all know by heart: "OKBOYZE", the latch man pulse the welded 1/2" rod latch-round up and outta the catch, and with a healthy kick in the bulls a**, and a pat on Jovesky's shoulder just barely catching him before that bulldoe a fore-leg stand and kicks the sh8* out of the whole support team still sittin on the rails are up in the air.... and bamn ! that bull horns-open the gate, and , mainly cause his n*8s are painfully wedgied by the 'motivation strap' runnin for to aft under the bulls chassis, makin him one mean, pained-in -the n*8s animal , angry to damage ahuman.....and its that second beer if I didn;t make the buzzer.. dang that hide ! - more in another post.

Back to gaming... next post in a sec.... :clap::clap::biggrin:

Quotes here by Steve so my notes are not confused with Ron's comments: Hey Ron - you OK with this turn in the democratic view of things... and thoughts or serious additions to what I took as humour in your characterisitic (identifiable I am greatful for lol) wry and dry
commentary ?


Onward to his actual picture-perfect submission form as a courtesy to my eyes - thanks Ron, not a rule...just a courtesy - and I appreciate it)

Quote:

Q155 ........I do

Song: I'll Prove My Love

Lyric :

"In everything I say and in all I do"
Note - I have quoted the actual submission part of Ron's above this line.

Ron's clue as submitted:Q155 ........I do
Clue per database:Q155........all I do
The difference in above had no functional effect, because it was obvious Ron had the full clue in mind, and found the correct song in mind, In other cases, like my ..( ) hands, my typo :rolleyes: cost dozens of person hours. But that was as a clue giver. Obviously no problemo here. But should any of you have been considering other songs that relied upon just the two words "....i do" - it could have steared you down the wrong road - if in my clues given. No harm from Ron. Lets just say I am even more careful now to avoid the most minute error in clues...:rolleyes::biggrin::clap:

Song submitted:'I'll Prove My Love'
Song per database:'I'll Prove My Love' -MATCH-
Lyrics as submitted:"In everything I say and in all I do
Lyrics perLightfoot! -source;courtesy ofWayne Francis:I will prove my love to you
In everything I say and in
all I do ~gl
CORRECT ANSWER !
CONGRATULATIONS !,Ron

Wait a minute guys - I been playin in here for quite awhile with you, and I've never had trouble telling when you are submitting a ...a...submission..lol.. until now... What is it ? The welcome addition of new players, are the questions that much harder, - I can tell you guys you've done a LOT harder ONE WORD Q's than these, but I know they are tough - I had to think of 'em in my head remember ? You'll get em. I can say this..once pilgrim.... (since we are in the Western Saloon and all - OK - we have to decide on Lighthead Bar , or the other I proposed in usage as the "Sundown Saloon" - which builds on some of the Western settings Ron and I have used for humour here and there. Either way OK..... lemme know....cause I gotta start building some ambience in the program and all.... cutting edge Hollerdeck or something lke that...) back to my request.

Lets tighten up what has just for the first time in 350 !!! posts WOW !! become unclear as to whether you were posting or not. Tell ya what. I think the banter and "thinking out loud" is great - makes it more like chat days I miss... - I 'd be doing it too... that doesn't chap my hide at all.... I just can't answer partial submissions, or: seems kinda like (....( ) , or maybe with ( ) or without ( ).. Thats totally cool and necessary with hard ones to discuss, just help me know when they are submissions, not chat...I'm cool with that.

I'd always hoped for general conversation in here, as long as the eye was on the ball of the game. I'm just getting a little worried, no biggee, that I can't tell when you are submitting today or not - with the exception of Ron. Who is remembering the submission form for just such reason - two times today. The others - sharp thinking going on, no problem , hell I enjoy listening to it . But when does it become a submission ?? Only because this is new behaviour, thats all. I don't want to let you guys down is the BIG DEAL to me. All we gotta do - just talk away and I won;t bat an eye, after all, we are in the "Swingin on one hook saloon" we have to pick the name for.... and then act appropriately atmospheric....
but when you want a submission answered yay or nay.... just put it in the form you see el Ron has used today.... elRon....hmm....?....naw......
Okeedokee. I THINK I have a second discernable submission from Ron to address next post. Thanks guys, don;t let me intterrup - thats not what I'm here for..... enjoy the exchange....it just izzn a submission until you do this:


jjoveski's combined sort of agreed submission..screeech.. nope.. sorry guys
lol- one or the other.. and in the form below, OK fellas ? ya'll drive safe now ?

minutes later: we, uhm I mean *I* want to submit this game ..uhm.. submission: yes !

Quote:

Q999.....she ripped him off

Song submitted: "She ripped him off and his heart is in shards" ~sd

Lyrics patch submitted:
She ripped him off of his hexagram, cash in a old tin can, 'n credit cards
Now his heart is in shards, and she's livin' large, with a bunch a tards
Thata the submission form.....
(at least one full line of verse/lyrics, preferably two. two is hard without cheatin - so I'll live with one to help mitigate that...

Thanks guys...and gals.... :clap::biggrin::headbang::headbang: And thanks for coming in the LightHead Saloon and/or The Sundown Saloon. :)
