Months in Gord's songs
 

How about a brain-teaser, where did Gord mention a month in a song?
I'll start with:
A Passing Ship - April
Songs the Minstrel Sang - May & June
Black day in July
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald-November

Gee Rick , this is toughie - I may have to go back and listen to ALL my Gord music again! Sounds like a winning situation. :) I shall be back.

good point, brink:)

i and some others might keep hushed on this one...we need to make a list of all the 'lyrical reference lists' we've made over the years

as far as i recall, we've had lyrics that mention:
Places
Names
Foods
Numbers
Months
Days of the Week
Years (maybe we haven't actually, unless it was part of the Numbers one)

...glad you got a brain stimulator going, bendrick...don't think we'll see SM again

enjoy:)

Does "Mother May I" count?

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

iloveit, loveabiggibson!

btw, have we done 'body parts' yet?

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

For me the most obvious one is of course simply "May I"

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

Oh yeah, it's just "May I". Duh.

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

He uses the word "may" in several songs but do they actually reference the MONTH?? I think that's the intent of the quiz?
hmmm...

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

yeah, "in the month of May" (Songs the Minstrel Sang) ... as bendrick provided

ok, march onward... ;)

Fine As Fine Can Be ----> April
Boss Man -----> July and May

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

Four months ago in APRIL, on a day coach she came down...

Black day in JULY...

When the gales of NOVEMBER come early...

Lemon lilies at your door to give you in SEPTEMBER...

Mother, MAY I...

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

"A Passing Ship" also mentions October. "Circle of Steel" mentions Christmas but that technically doesn't count. A person could hit "Lightfoot.ca" and check the song lyrics...

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

Dad2mak, what is this lyric "Four months ago in APRIL, on a day coach she came down...
" from?

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

Red Velvet. its not a Lightfoot original (Ian Tyson), but its on the Painter passing through album

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

Yes, that was from GL's cover of Ian Tyson's song "Red Velvet."

Re: Months in Gord's songs

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

Thanks, Mende I was trying to figure out where that came from. Love the line. Back to listening to everything Lightfoot and see if I can find another month in there. :)

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

I am surprised nobody has mentioned Wherefore And Why; he mentions 2 in the same verse.

So many times now, oh Lord I can't remember, if it's September or July

Re: Months in Gord's songs
 

Thanks, Shut Up & Deal; also I realized the song Bossman had two references
to months.
Here's my revised list of Months mentioned in Gord's songs:
April 3 times
May 2 times
June 1 time
July 4 times
September 3 times
October 2 times
November 1 time
