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

Borrowing heavily from 2much2lose and Sir John here, and trivia quizzes from corfid's not so distant past: a quiz format. Hope you like it.

Simply guess the song, from the increasingly fewer words out of Gord's lyrics. Similar to past threads when we did a LOT of quizzing, but I am curious to see how FEW words, or obscure the reference, will instantly turn on a Lighthead-bulb:

WHAT SONG CONTAINS THE WORD(S) :

EZ to start, harder as we go if'n you guys like it::clap::mad::mad::headbang:

Q# 1...... was a time in this.........

Q# 2.......a bit of allright....

Q# 3...... songs we know

Q# 4.......golden prairie

Q# 5........coming back

Q# 6........nails

an even half dozen to start; hope you like it. I'll post 6 at a time if'n you do.

answers format so my eyes don't cross worse *suggestion only*
Note: these answer samples do not pertain to above....
Q1 - song is: If You Could Read My Mind . Album name is (same)
Q2 - song is: Beautiful. Album name is - Don Quixote
and etc

Sly says: go for it ..... :cool:

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

Do we have to have all of them for the answer, or can we put in one or 2 that we know?

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

OH HECK NO ONE IS GOING FOR IT YET - DO ONE OR TWO YOU KNOW - HAVE FUN

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

Q5= Now And Then.

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

Char - yes congrats- CRT !

Joveski - interesting - I'll just take yer word for it its in that too, but the one i took it from is: uhm......-
Hint: one of the 18 rarities on songbook this'll do it "the barman plays..the songs we know..." now u guys will get that one too. I'll not challenge it being in "I'll do it again" - I'll politely take your word for it I'm not here to prove ppl wrong....had not considered an ambiguity case though !and

Joveski Q3:
yes! golden parie - Crossroads - my favourite "working man's song" from my lumber days.....cool u got it.

OK we still have
.... a bit of allright...
.... nails...... to go

hints on these 2 hardest: (as brown as..( )....rusty nails)

and: ( ...eagles....you and i together.. ( )... a bit of allright)

if these last 2 grow stale I'll do six more by this later PM

'first shot at it was shootin' in the dark, as i had the advantage of hearing 'em in my mind when i write the Q - i of course know the answer as i write the Q

I am avoiding any lyrics searches - so as to enjoy it myself too, i like to challenge my memory...... i hope that angle is fun for you guys too.... cause the first person that does a lyrics search will take the cake home - too easy LOL

geo steve



JohninCt yes! I keep coming back for more of the same to fan the dying flame - u got it buddy.

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

I'll go ahead and start 6 more, as the expanded clues for the remaining 2 above are dead give aways.... if... you like the songs.. ! :)

Second round

Baker's dozen special stumper" -

hint: its one of my all time favourites -
- as the long-timers know i have been waxing on since 96 in alt.music.lightfoot and in here since '06, skip 07, and now -08 I always talk about it....ethereal...much talk of its meaning...many metaphors and one line no one gets...hell i am givin' it away LOL

OK a try one other quiz format, just two, below - not necessarily GL's writing,
might be covers.....by him, on his albums :biggrin:

and - what do you call 'em - anachronistics ?: - scrambled words or letters,
here i will test just two.... scrambled words.... if u like it i will include one or two each six.....otherwise - if interest continues, i will stick to above formula.

Qscrambled: Qa: "out the for watch shifting ramble may you sand wherever"
and Qb: "to and winds blow dusty begin autumn the" :whistle:

- unscramble, and then guess song.... i think i picked 'em too easy...
scrambled hint on above two test scrambles:

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

steve, thanks for the fun (to pass time during these dog days)

not great with lyrics but I know the songbook rarities better than the songbook familiarities...mainly cos I made a cd of the rarities (only) from songbook when I obtained it and couldn't stop listening to them, well, 15 of them anyhow

ok, what is Never Say Trust Me? for Q3

that track grabbed hold me instantly...I still don't know what arborite dreams are but dig that phrase...also love the whiny guitar

some already mentioned Always on the Bright Side, wonderful...such and uncharacteristic groove and some vivid phrases ...through two shipwrecked eyes I come to see, is a real fave

as for the rest I have no clue (well, ok, other than the 10 given)

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

DQ - Holy Lyrics-Limerick Batman ! You nailed almost all of in one' erudite, eloquent espousal from the diaz...... leave it to a PhD to blow as all away ! BRAVO ! BRAVO ! encore encore !

yessirree you got 'em in one deft stroke of academic acumen, espousing the answers with studied aplombe and panache, from the diaz of ecellence ! YUP THATS GOT EM...

hmmph.... er.... well..... HAH ! except for Q#6 & Q#10 & QBD (bakers dozen stumper)
& Qa & Qb (the two scrambled song titles).... yeah thats it thata the ticket.... didn;t get all eh professor ? LOL j/k - good to hear from you DQ.......YOU..... might like the discussion I triedon the tail end of the vintage video of Gord singing "Remember Me", (I'm the One), for reasons of my revelation (to me) of why I like his newer work MUCH more now.... based on maturity... seasoning..... ( no jokesters out there, not the herbs and spices) LOL. Thanks DQ well done..


OK the hints on Q6 &Q10 - I will wait and give QBD, Qa, & Qb to have a chance to cool in the window before baking another pie of hints.... hmmm I must be hungry the way I am writing here..... LOL I am its 8:47 per my tachymeter chrono thats blown a gasket - must be made by Norton Thiokol ( obsure refernence anyone out there get ? Sir John? (smile) - I don't bite old friend.... you out there ? Hint its an aerospace trivia that had disastrous consequences.... never below 33 degrees, preferably not below 52 degrees - the hint to my Norton Thiokol "gasket" of type o - i dunnoooo its a ringer, allright

OK hints on Q6 - (more hints for..nails...) - last hint was (.. as brown as...rusty nails)
2nd hint Q6: another part of same song: ......you can have any flavour ya hapen too see..... thats blown it now i am sure...... LOL

Q#10 first hint: Q was:.... an old man sitting in his....
hint......... 'He called to his wife one day "come sit with me awhile" '
hint: ...... "he looked toward the sunset and smiled a wicked smile"

OK thats blown it I'm sure......the song was desribed in the Rolling Stone review as
"one of [Lightfoots] more ambitous works" as I recall


OK I will wait to hint on QBD (bakers dozen), and Qa and Qb and see what the cat drags in...LOL thanks guys and:

congrats again DQ - Oratory tour de force :)

~geo steve

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

jj -Yes ! - Never say trust me ! Bingo - I too dig this song - put it on repeat several times - as well as- just as you pointed out.... "Allways on the Bright Side" is such an
uncharacteristic song - man he's sure still "got it" in that - I repeat tat one even more.

Oh BTW re: arborite: The only reason I know this is I worked my way through college round 1 working in a lumber yard, and ai cant get those 18,000 SKU's out of my head..... Arborite is a -Canadian- euphemism for what actually is a brand name - like "Kleenex" is common usage for tissue, but a brand name, as is surprisingly "Sheet Rock" - a brand name from way back they gave up on suing over copyright infringement on - its generically called "gypsum board" by the myriad companies that make it - from ubiquitous quadrillions of tiny dead crustaceans on former sea floors.....chalk..... caclcium carbonate...... white board - gypsum board Sheetrock. OK ok in similar fashion,

Arborite is generic in many parts of Canada ( so said my vendors that sold me bunks of it, Canucks agreeing with that notwithstanding - any Canadian tradesmen out there that buy it ?. Generic term now, but Brand name for, what below the border here in US of A is called particle board, and rarely, aspenite (arborite/apenite) , except aspenite has larger flakes with glue compressed in than finer particles of wood -mush- compressed

All those damn "some assembly required" furniture pieces such as -sigh- entertainment systems and computer desks.... re so often made with particle board here, and arborite there - arbor of course in the tree sense..... , all covered with a fake picture of woodgrain on contact paper, glued to the surface... God I hate puttin together those things for years, both at work for displays, and at home when our modest budget and work discount dictated almost whole rooms in our first home be filled with it LOL.

I vowed one time to never by another particleboard "knockdown funiture" - they are called... to Merry..... when we finally could afford modest but *real* furniture, like the red-oak (I just looked at it OMG its red oak veneer over particleboard aaaggggh)LOL
computer desk I am at now. It is (particleboard/arborite) following me like a stalking sycophant. lol...

In the song Gord sings of "Arborite chairs" and tables etc. and the line u mentioned "arborite Dreams" - I take to mean the dreams of , say the wedding couple married and having their reception in the "Holiday Inn ?? " [sic] the surroundings Gord describes as familiar but tackey - tacky paintings on the wall, tacky arborite furniture etc., but such solid dreams taking hold on that arborite filled (read fake furniture) environment .? - lease as how thats my read... sure love that song.... what do they call that "iambic pentameter' or something like that in rhyming lyrics, whic Gord os credited for taking to a unique for with "clever pharaseology" where not only do the lines rhyme at the end of each sentence, but there is often a clever and catchy rhyme within the sentence 1st half and 2nd half of a given line.... as is the case as i recall in never say trust me...... I like :the barman plays the song s we know....the pretty barmade going to and fro" - and 'she gets down to "twist and shout" ' and Gord winds up.......something.. down and out.... its a fun song, sticks in your head.

And always on the bright side - man i have played htayt probably 50 times this year alone. the eagles mate for life...... through two shipwrecked eyes - THAT line alone on the eyes is so full of insight ( no pun) it grabs ya by the yangs, doesn;t it ?

thanks jj

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

i beat Char by 4 minutes :)

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

LOL
I had to take a 'break'... and watch my Jays for a minute or two!
lol

JAYS win! again!
Jays swept Oakland 4 games straight..yeehaw..

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

LOL OK you two - beat the livin' he** out of my "progressively hard" Q's 12 - 18 - BUT......hold yer horses...... two things:


1. OK joveski - Congrats ! you beat Char time-wise - but omitted Q's 13 & 14 the easiest ones. And - on Q18 - see below

2. Char you got em all- and complete , but 2nd time-wise, so I'd say all in all - a draw.. but one problem... or rather ambiguity I cannot say is "wrong" ,we are all "right"
on Q18

q18 -..... "go forth"......


OK I pictured in my mind when I wrote the Q - "soon I will go forth, to that wild and barren land, where nature takes its course...." - Whispers of the North....

But - you two, interestingly - were both right - on House You Live In - AN AMBIGUOUS CASE - i am trying to avoid 'em for just such reason - but I forgot about House you live in. Go forth in the world.... thats the riff you two thought of ? yup yup yer right.
Nothing wrong about being right....

its a draw

AND TIME FOR Q's 19 - 24 ! duh da da DUHHHHHHHH (token object of politically incorrect and chauvinistic pig flagrant desire comes out in tight Vegas showgirl thingee dress and hands the M.C. card to me with Q's) :

oh - AND IF YOU MISS THESE CHAR - have a GREAT trip to "New Scotland" :)

drumroll please from drunk drummer up on Ramada Inn barroom platform.....looks more like a rocker than a country western drummer.... hmmmm - shades of another post ? LOL

OK hipsters these will have to be harder, as you made a laughing stock of me in record time on 18 - 24 between you two walking encyclopedia's of Gordon......LOL

easier to harder again....BUT HARDER ALL THE WAY AROUND (evil laugh like a mortician)

Q19.....answer to the letter of the law..........

Q20.....fool that went to school..............

Q21.....I'd rather be down...............

Q22....deep canyons................

Q23....remind us...........

Q24....skins.............

HAVE FUN Hopefully everbuddy is not so dangfired smart that they get 'em in one minute.....lol

ENJOY

Q25--Cherokee Bend

Q23 Could also be Drink Yer Glasses Empty--And watch a John Wayne movie to REMIND US...

DQ

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

Man u three nailed it.
Joveski - yes all 3 but - the Echos of Heros must be a valid ambiguous case. I'll take your word for it. My intent - and what i derived, or gleened it from by memoery was in Fact what DQ said - watch a John WAYNE MOVIE TO remind us OF THE PLANES(PLAINS?)
I'll take both as valid though.

Formerly- good one on Boathouse....

DQ - two good ones on the easier - Tattoo i think, and the harder(est) PRECEDENT of ONE WORD.. skins... wow you got it DQ. The professor strikes again....

Steve is now deep in thought..... chanting and humming to himself....the monastic
inductees have ben told to be silent while I swing my smudge-pot and don my
vestments..... and meditate.... whistle..... whap spoons on my knee.....lol
(don't worry - i have no such narcissistic thoughts of myself, or placing Gord in a position of ...Prophet... not at alll.... i am just kidding around to make you folks laugh...

Illuminati in dark cloaked robe that i am , padding around Gord-records library in ruins formerly raced-though by vikings - the monastery inhabitants, scarce as they are now... after the last Chrusade...chanting Gord-esque lyrics in near-reverance....29 bells ringing in background ( not funny, but thought-provoking)....going to sit in the garden now and contemplate/reflect on the next 6..... the ruins of a monastery are on the Isle of Skye, in the northerly extent of the outer Hebrides of northern Scotland... the library is intact and said to contain ICELANDIC layman's parol reports of sightings of great mosters in the sea - in fact - BIG BLUE... witten in hebrew and sanskrit, steve is translating by candlelight... looking for the next 6.....an apprentice approaches me, hands in robe sleeves, crossed, and says "master.... do you need anything before i take my fast and contemplation ? I look at him with a furtive glance and perfunctory nod...then angrily...I snap back, regrettably... "Not NOW... I am trying to find.....flip-flip-flip the next 6 - it is a harbinger, its... (oh SHUT UP STEVE) LOL LOL ok THE NEXT 6: Q's 25 - 30:

EASIER TO HARDER AGAIN, I THINK YOU COGNESCENTI HAVE THIS DOWN TO A MOCKERY OF MY ATTEMPT TO MYSTIFY YOU.... dang it....

Q25: ......is like a young bird...

Q26........try to understand...

Q27........ego and the id....

Q28........zen........

Q29........fragrance...

Q30........beans...

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

Aww man! :( You see what happens when you work long hours and can't get to the library?

I knew more than 1/2 of those! Ah,well.....maybe the next game. ;)

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

Borderstone - will add one just for U only - others please respect, its cryptic and arcane top-secret question name will be..... cracking case open.... QBORDER

song for Borderstone only to decipher, as he is only periodically able to get to
the library to log on..... he should have a shot too, so this'll cover it..for U B
BTW - are you still in need of a home pc ? - IF u r, i know of a 286 or 386 - not sure..in the family - that has been offered up for grabs - postage being paid...er.. rather freight.... by the recipient... that'd be the hard part..... should I check into this for U Border ?

QBORDER:......had a glass of....

for you BO-Bro

~geo steve

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

LOL this whole thing reminds me of a scene in that great Billy Crystal Comedy - City Slickers... the scene where , on the trail-drive - Billy is sitting across from the Ben & Jerry-like ice cream mogul twins.... and the Josh Mostel big guy is the alleged master of what ice cream would go with the most...... eclectic and obscure meal.... he says to Billy - go ahead... challenge me.... Billy responds with some relatively basic meal, and The big brother (Mostel) sneers, laughs, and says paraphrasing " oh come ON, pulleease... give me something REAL to work with.." and throws his plate of beans onto the ground (analagous of the symbolic challenge i guess of throwing your hat in the ring of the contest), narrows his eyes...good bad and the ugly song whistles in the background.......dusty wind blows through the campsight....

and Billy Crystal says OK..... "Sea Bass,.." - Mostel injects: "broiled or sauteed?" . so on and so on...... and Mostel finally answers RUM RAISIN ! phew ! and the brothers high five each other whuh! Billy , puzzled, says, "What? how do you know, whuh! ?" - the twins respond "5,000 franchise locations and growing...thats how....."

what exactly the metaphor or analogue is here i am not exactly sure, but it is safe to say.... we have a MULTITUDE OF LYRICS LIGHTFOOT EXPERTS..... ardent fans, in any event.... as I am... the ardent fan that is.... surely not the lyrics expert.... surprised i have not made a mistak on my vsiualized Q's excerpts......

hope u are enjoying them.... i am.....

~geo steve whuh!

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

off the top of my head, i can only think of..

26: ordinary man
30: borderstone

its funny with the other phrases, i know the melody of them but cant put the song to them!

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

Joveski - Bingo.... on both... uh oh i just realized something.....for Borderstone's sake....hmmm shh

4 to go of the 6

Q25 - The Way I Feel
Q28 - I'll Tag Along

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

Lavender - excellent bravo ! Lavender jumps up and down holding hundred dollar-coins being counted out to her by Bob Barker - 1,2 3.4.5.6.7.8.9. $1,000 in Gord-coins goes to the lady in the lavender sweater... lets have a round of applause from the audience ! lol

ok that leaves
Q27 & 29 to go
hints:
some little store

apples in the sun

but which.... do they aply to.....i dunno (whistling casually)

that'll bust 'em

HAVE FUN

~geo steve

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

I've realized an ambiguity on q29
original clue - fragrance
corrected clue - some little store

in fairness clue to corrected song 1st clue would have pointted to : In my keeping
...so - to clarify -

q29a original song i thought of - corrected, definative clues:
.... some littlestore, ..perfume...
q29b ambiguity-correction case clue - another song - fragrance, and in my keeping
- use those ..clear yer head of my ambiguity previously...... now q29 is 2 songs

let me know if thats unclear - - you'll get'em both thats alll that matters - have fun

either song would take it now on q29 - but kudos to getting both a & b, my error

~geo steve

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

Affair on 8th avenue

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

Q's 31 -36 ! and: last guess reply


Yes joveski - I'd of worried after my correction clues to that one if no one got it. Only one song left q27 2 clues thus far: ego and the id
apples of the sun

OK a third - its one his ethereal songs..... as he says a "walk down shrink alley"
one more lyrical phrase from it - there is no rhyme or reason, just a time for....

since I know you guys will get it from that I will go ahead and

POST Q'S 31 - 36 !!!!

Q31.....on a chilly morn
Q32.....warmin' in the
Q33.....fortress
Q34.....decked
Q35.....bend
Q36.....clean

HAVE FUN......you guys are getting so fast - i am having to go almost to one word on each.... but when thats the case - they have to be *unique* to that song. its sorta hard to come up with - but fun. And i know i got the easy part.....

~geo steve

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

Q31 - Seven Island Suite
Q32 - On Susan's Floor

BTW, you guessed correctly - I am a girl. The color lavender does have a feminine connotation to it, doesn't it?

Fun game...

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

Q33.....fortress

(if you could read my mind)


Q35.....bend

(bend in the water)

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

Lavender - YES! APPLAUSE ! = yes your name does have a feminine connotation, but in today's gender-bender world - I need to B sensitive and politically correct.....but since, to be a gentleman, you'll notice I visited your profile page, and confirmed, in connection with an old post as to the origin of your name - stumbled into initially on "names" search per another member - I saw your old '96? post of the origin of your name Lavender. FYI you are most definately a FEMALE lol..

Anymore.... I dunno aboot up there in Canada, where the men are men, and the ....well whe'll leave that salty saying for the sad men in saloons stemming for gold.... down here in the lower coterminous 48 (similar but not equiv to contiguous, John, thought i would save u from a hundred hours of hyperlinks to prove me wrong....LOL ole friend.....Levity.... is good..... says... the "Shat" - in stilted... Shakespearean.... forgot his lines.... now famous...pharaseology of Captain Kirk.... SOMEONE OR SOMETHING.....got 2 others correct back to the thread...

[COLOR="magenta"]Joveski[/COLOR , bingo , CONGRATS - the masters are racking up their birdies and eagles, others are moving below PAR , DQ, waiting in the colloqium wings, aproaches the diaz, i mean the tee.. his caddy hands him a five irom.... the crowd din lulls to a hush...he eyes the ball, waiting for the last two songs...giving others a chance,,, but years of training and education are bursting at the cerebreal cortex, rendered, open to suggestion from my subliminal synapse signals imbedded in my text...AND SO.. [you will alll send me money... you will all..lol j/k]...SO THE LAST 2q'S Left are:

Q34 - .....decked....

Q36 - .....clean.....

I don't think i need to add to these, one or two more expressions of puzzlement and I will add second clues... thing is, you guys are getting so good, we are down to one word clues to even challenge you diehards......and if one, as I mentioned, the word *must* be definative and unique to ONE song. Thats hard. As I am sure DQ would agree, that while this is a very small case of, a very hard thing to do: writing tests , often starting with the answer first, and forming the question, something I have had to do that is VERY difficcult at times, which the Professor (DQ) I am sure would agree.

I digress. HAVE FUN on the last two -others jump in and I'll give a Gordon Lightfoot T-shirt to the mostest postest correctly, if I coud EVER find a GL t-shirt LOL, just kidding on the prize... what my CLIENT MEANT to say was.....LOL

~geo steve

ps obsure clue - who typically cleans....regularly... ?

and...
decked, not as in slugged or hit, but rather...clothed nattily or interesting/colourfully....

that'll bust 'em - got to stop giving away at the first difficulty....

so...... ???? i noitice the number of viewers greatly exceeds that of posters, which seems normal, but suggests some are reluctant to try and ...be wrong.... it's not the end of the world.... I BLEW the question on Affair on eighth Ave. versus Softly, transposing clues of frangrance, versus little store..... it happens... its ok - take a poke at it, and as long as it appears it is fun to y'all, I will keep em coming. It is good distraction for me and I appreciate the Lightfoot frontal lobe MP9 in my head playing the songs....j/k to come up with 'em.

post post script:

!geo steve

"have a Gord day, Gord day to you..".. I hereby lay claim to those two statements, which I may self-consciously make one of those "bottom of the post" cool statements of lyrics, typically. How do you do that again ? no treatis with hyperlinks necessary - just the cp page button to tag.... is it the quote, or the ( ? ) i need to fill in. ?


HEY WAIT A MINUTE - AFTER ALL THE CLUES I ADDED ON" EGO AND THE ID" Q27 - think we still have a stumper so far - anyone want get closure on that - there are perhaps 3 post script additional clues above.... but I'll do one more.
Q27.....Nothin is for certain..... that'll bust it.
