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

OK HERE IS A FIRST-ROUND UPDATE, POSTED @ 10:05am.,Thurs.,FEB 5th, 2009 !

Round one - oTJ turns in one of the weirdest words in Lightfoot's work - when taken out of context -
.... insane .... from Stay Loose !
his comments are even funnier, check 'em out !

And speaking of out of context, extracting a 'left side word' with the 'right side word' if you know what I mean - clue .... man child ,from: 'Mama Said'! - formerlyLavender nails this one I never would gotten myself. Never. But I am not as versed on the UA period.

And Jenney nails another , well, not so ODD a word as the ones above, but unusual word in a love song. I'd say 'Anything for Love' is a love song, wouldn't you ? Its more a song about love, than a love ballad ostensibly sung to a woman in the song, does that make sense ? Hard one, and Jenney nails it again. She's in the habit of doing 4 out of 10 !

OK - 3 DOWN QUICKLY THIS MORNING, 7 TO GO !
All songs are in the 'main 20 albums'
