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

OK GUYS HEY I HAVE AN IDEA WHADDYA THINK RIGHT NOW FOR A PATCH SOLUTION. I CAN HAVE ALL 6 REMAINING Q's OF 10 ANSWERED IN ONE SLAM-DUNK RESPONSE, - IF YOU WILL CHOOSE TO SIMPLY TRUST MY QUICK CHECK TO MY CONTROL-LIST INPUT TO MY PROGRAM, AND A SPOT-CHECK BY ME IN WAYNE'S WPRLD.

IT'LL BE LIKE THIS:

Q165 - ....pyre.... JOE WINS IT WITH ( )

Q168....throng.... JENNIFER WINS IT WITH SONG ( )

Q170....like turpentine BUBBLY MISSES IT BY THAT MUCH, SORRY...
(REASON)


ESSENTIALLY - CUT OUT THE LIST OF TEN FROM MY "BIG-X" PORTION OFCODE, FILL IT IN MANUALLY, NO RIGOROUS PRAGMATIC CHECK AS THE PROG IS SET-UP TO DO WITH MULTIPLE ERROR CHECKS BASED ON COMPLIANCE YOU'VE ASKED FOR IN LAST FEW DAYS.. COOL WITH ME TO ELIMINATE TEMPORARY PERCEPTION OF CHAOS, QUICK, CLEAN, SLAM-DUNK, NO QUALIFYING, YOU JUST CHOSE TO TRUST ME, OR I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY POLITE CHALLENGE TO MY DECISION, NO PROBLEM.

THEN, LETS GO THE ROUTE OF THE POLL RON IS COMMISSIONED TO TAKE ON EITHER REDUCING 10 SONGS BACK TO ..( ) 3 ? *5* ? 6? 5 IS MY VOTE - ADDS UP IN MULTIPLES OF TEN FOR CHARTING PROGRESS, AND ALSO IS ENOUGH TO KEEP PPL PLAYING FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES !! LOL... AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE PROGRAM THAT DOES RIGOROUS ANALYSES OF SONGS AND DOTS AND CAPS AND LYRICS AND YADA YADA..... I'VE ALLREADY RECIEVED MY BENEFIT TO ME OF SHARPENING MY PROGRAMMING AXE SKILLS SO TO SPEAK, SO IF YOU LIKE THE SLAM-DUNK - MEANS TRUSTING YOUR Sundown Saloon BARTENDER (ME) MORE SO I CAN DLAM DUNK, STARTING NOW. THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE PERCEPTION OF CHAOS - WHICH IS FROM WHAT I CAN SEE AN UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF PLAYERS WHICH IS GREAT !, MANY NEW OR INFREQUENT, AND BEIN A LITTLE RUSTY ON THINGS AUTMATIC NOW TO REGULARS TO DOTS, BUT MAIN THING I SEE IS FINE WITH ME - BUT I GUESS CAUSES PERCEPTION OF CHAOS - THE FRIENDLY DISCUSSION COMMENT POSTS TO ONE ANOTHER , WITH ACTUAL SUBMISSION INTERSPERSED OR NOT CERTAIN AS TO POST TYPE. MY END, FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH, IS GOING FINE FOR ME. PRAGMATIC, RIGOROUS,TRIPLE-CHECKED, AND TODAY , WAS GONE 1/2 THE DAY, AND HAD SOME PC DOWN TIME ON NETWORK ROUTER TO HIGH SPEED CABLE INTERNET....I'M GOING TO START THIS, SLAM DUNK AS OF NOW , CAN'T HURT, AND CHALLENGE ITS RESULTS IF YOU WISH, AS NORMAL. THEN AS I EMERGE WITH MY BIG X LIST CUT PORTION SINHLE RESPOBSE EN MASSE, MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN HAVE A VOTE ON 2 THINGS - 1 - NUMBER OF SONGS PER "SET LIST" - COOL
AND 2 - AFTER YA SEE IT - THE SLAM DUNK TRUST ME OR CHALENGE MASS LIST. C U CHORTLY !
oops got a form of indisposed for the last 45 miutes.sorry going on now to slam-dunk the remaining answers....

OH - the one giant line of verse submision works for me - how else can u guys do it in your head ? Redwood Hill is perfect example - right song - lyrics sound like a break in verse, hence a dots conflict, when in fact its a looong verse, and the dots are right ! i just gave that one away.... but it'll be out in the 10-list slam dunk shortly anyway.I'll be baack

It is so obscure a song; you're right, nobody likes it, that genre set to Rock sorta music,,,, EEEEH... your call... wanna give 'em a day more ?

shhhh this is a clue sorta....kinda olde merriment set to ROCK ?

Sorry, Shutup and Deal, I'm just now getting to it 'BTW - the way your first post mention of it read, it looked like a comment, not a submission, really, not trying to be picky. Now, in this post, I know you meant it as a submission, good thing you posted this one, cause so much discussion went on about it, nothin qualified as a submission that I could tell until you stated it as such here. OK lets roll it and see ! -

Clue Submitted: no number given, its: Q165:....pyre....
Song submitted: "Pride Of Man"
Lyrics submitted to qualify, as clue and words were sorta not there lol, and the gang is holding to rules by the neck ! owww

err....I dont see any , I'm tryin to save ya here buddy, lemme look at your first post: stand by. BRB

OK I see you asked the question of Jesse, furthering even in the 2nd post why I thought it was a comment at first glance.
No problem, just didn't strike me as I read by it as a comment, sorry. We'll salvage things here yet, you got a HARD one... It sure helps confusion to use something close to the submission form, but I gotcha now, for the record, if you are asking is a partial submission right, just turn her in to me, I'm the "Alec Trebek" lol.... the thread host and originator. That doesn't mean much, and I still of course think all the comments posts are great, but when you're ready to submit, turn 'er into me, with a format I come close to recognizing - just a couple good examples, despite everyone's disdain for dots and submission form lol.... are the last couple Ron did - good examples. There are others too, of course... help they are holding me to 'em up by my neck ! ayeee...lol..see..its you know..like... owww !

OK lets see of we can keep this from scuttling here:

Lyrics submitted:

No, it looks like you are correct. - Jesse's comment, sorry. caught it in the cut-and-paste. hey Mon Amis Jesse . you ayre not the Trebek okeedokee Mon Amis lol lol tell them to submit and ask steve....or they- the others - and rightly so, will have my hide ! Its the only fair way. One person needs to judge, or we'll really have the chaos Ron feared. This is the last song of 10 so we're under control. Geo steve is an experienced manager in Great Industries of Science...and plywood.... lol


OK , again we try: lyrics submitted by Shutup and Deal, I'm Losin':

'It shall cause thy towers to fall and make it be a pyre of flame
Oh God the pride of man broken in the dust again

lyrics check against Wayne's World:
It shall cause thy towers to fall and make it be a pyre of flame
Oh God the pride of man broken in the dust again


you got it buddy, congrats ! - and all that helped, too ! its cool lol

OK guys ! All submissions, that is to say, all first submissions unitil it was right, are in , evaluated, slam-dunk style, not even close to chaos at my end, but I see one real noteworthy thing to help y'all on: Comments are totally cool as posts of course... but I'll never recognize them as submissions, even three in a row asking your friends if it looks right...lol...lolll.loll.... so...lol....turn 'em into me whenever you are ready to say 'is this correct: i.e a submission - and please include something close to the submission form, say, at least have all the info , which isn't much eg

Example submission form (anything like it, as long as it has the info

Submission for "'They busted Steve's Glasses as He Did Not Hold everyone to the Rules' ~sd
example form: fictitious song, for awhile lol....
Quote:
Q999 Clue ....busted steve's glasses....
Song: 'They busted Steve's Glasses as He Did Not Hold everyone to the Rules'
~sd
Lyrics patch:
'They busted Steve's Glasses as
He Did Not Hold everyone to the Rules'
or - one big long lyrics line.....but......you still gotta know where the dots go...unless....you guys want to eliminate them... that'll be chaos...but I play by democracy (proud)
OK everbuddy - the Key Big X is correct right above ya, all Q's answered, unless I missed some ,mixed in all that barely starting to Spiral comments thing..lol...all was cool until we started asking each other if songs looked right.... I swear... I had my part under control lol..lol....
OK 2 SONGS REMAIN UNANSWERED: (THEY'VE BEEN ATTEMPTED), SO MORE CLUES TIME I FIGGER' :

Q162....evergreen lets blow this one away:
Hi Derry day in the month of may, or roughly that, don't wanna GIVE IT AWAY....LOL

and

Q170....like turpentine REMAINS UNANSWERED

OK...think 1963 +/- a year... label before UA... ??? and not The Two Tones...???... The term turpentine is referring in the song to something she wears that smells like turpentine, and Gord the protagonist scares off her tacky suitor by scarin him oughta his big Cadillac, and he had hair stacked up like 4 haystacks...and her name...is...well...a flower, almost a weed, posies they used to call em in the 40's.....lots of COWS are named her name... in the song TITLE... and the TITLE is the opposite of "(her name) DOESN't" . Now, don't feel bad if even all that is not a help, this is a rarity.... and the record label is......envelope please Chateau

I have heard he'd like to round all of these up, anecdotally, they are not bootleg, they are a valid label, and NOT the TWO TONES, just ( )Lightfoot on the album cover...

and - like 5 of the songs are really beautiful...cool... the other 5..... lol..... are I think why he wants to find 'em they say.... picture Elvis doing vocal acrobatics, with a huh! at the end of each verse lol its great..., singing, hair stacked up, and sounding a little like "Gentleman" Jim Reeves or Perry Como (neither of witch are such a bad thing.....)its how they had him singing that is a fun hoot to hear... but picture either of those 2 , Reeves, or Como, on wacky Tobacky lol lol. even the funny songs... my 83 yr old mother said 'ya know..lol..those are still actually pretty (get this...83 yrs old) SWINGIN' lol I about died laughing, and she's there "hey...I swung baby - to Duke Ellington, and Pete Fountain even in my and your Father's day... ...lol

SO, thats about all I can say..lol. w/o tellin ya outright,which, for the right $, I will...lol Good luck....maybe the internet....will help ya...you know the label now....

That's not a lyric, it's a partial lyric, and completely violates the "dots rule".
Note: Ron I conflated you quote above just a tad to save some page space, only to blabberty myself on down below ! lol

Hey Ron, just wanted to give you the courtesy of explaining why Char did win correctly so, with :

Quote:
Char submits for Q169FRIENDLY, WHEN YOUR (....friendly, when your)(sic)
Song submitted: In A Windowpane
lyric submitted:
"Where will you be, my friendly, when your
Telephone ain't givin' out no calls
Database lyrics:
Where will you be, my friendly, when your
Telephone ain't giving out no calls
correct you got it Char !
Here are a little more extended lyrics, hard-to-believe breaking-up of counter-intuitive lyrics ....breaking up..by Lightfoot's hand, unless Wayne's World and ole' Francis (is he that Saint Francis of Assissi ? - I see that here and there on signs near churches I have no idea what denomination, its not germane to corfid, but I thought the stature we assign Wayne's Lyrics board is such that someday....he might be one o' them ) -is wrong - which I sincerely doubt , ...but its right, and thats why it was a tricky one, in fact I am amazed anyone got it off their heads.

At 170 clues now, I am having to, as I mentioned before (for accuracy,too to serve you guys well, after the first 2 mistakes) as I was saying after 170 clues, even with some repetition on my part, because I found that by coming up with clues off of the top of my head, I was getting them from the songs I LIKE..lol.... and not picking up enough UA period (which this song is more typical of why I do not like that period anywhere near as much as Warner/Reprise, except oh man some beauties came out of the UA period as you know, like CRT, Softly, SFAWN. Crossroads, you know the drill.

But with nigh on 300 ( plus Chateau Period.OOPS a slip on a clue for Q170)again lol) songs to cover in the game, plus rarities, I've had to to incorporate some partly unintentional glances partly intentional at Wayne's World for loading song data into my geo_cruncher_Light.(proprietary) program,; I saw all the UA go in anyway, and was able to keep giving you fresh material this way, as well as a larger untapped area yet to go of songs that I don't have pop in my head, that I do not like as much, personally, from 60's , 70's, 80's, 90's, & double-ought thru '08's. Anyway, the unconventional, but true, lyrics spacing of 'In a Windowpane':

Where will you be, my friendly, when your
Telephone ain't giving out no calls
And when the seasons come to haunt you
Will you still find the springtime in the fall
And when you're on your island
Will you wave at every ship that passes by
And will you feed a hungry man
~gl

per:
Lyrics perLightfoot! -source;courtesy ofWayne Francis

as you can see, to my surprise as well, Char is right, and that IS the Song I had in database for this Q ! So, its OK. I appreciate the help in catching any errata, you've saved my hide a few times Ron, thanks.

Quote:
I thank you, sir, now I'll just say goodbye
I'm too tired to tell if thats dis-associated from your orig quote, or a comment I broke up from the body of my comment to you in return...anyway, works for me

Mende - Howdy from Northerly latitudes, up around the 44-th parallel. Not lookin at a map, but since I put Melbourne into my little global warming spot-watching, I've noticed you are almost always same temp +/- on warmer days as where I live, up a bit higher than Castle Rock proper, down in town anyway, and just wondered, before I address your thang above, are you at low, low southerly lat's like say 55 south, and with coastal temperate weather ?; my tracker widget says Melbourne is either perpetually around 60 degrees during day, and you often say you're cold down there, which sounds like coastal temperate warmer days and colddddd...nights.

Or, as we get to 35 -38 at night this time of October above Castle Rock in Rampart Range territory, northerly terminus of The Pikes Peak famous (sorta - its where America the Beautiful was written from inspiration on top of, she- the songwriter - even mentions the Ramparts in the lyrics...once again ...I swell with Patriotic Pride -sniff-) - southerly end of the Rampart Range.

OK 'nuff blabberty on my part, anymore, socializing is half the fun in here with lyrics - have you seen the last 3 pages ? lol...its great !! apparent chaos to our previously pragmatic form-submit-feed program-output-answer-move-on-to-next-beep! M.O. I am liking this better...lots of cross-talk...if you make heads or tails of it on my part....which I am...but at first glance it appears to be relative chaos.....but the great minds looking at Dark Matter in Geneva in the Hadron collider are finding more ways of determining orderly-disorder in "chaos" in physics - Brownian stuff. no wonder they call it Dark Matter...lol....but we don't have chaos so much as a new larger group that enjoys cross-talk on a clue....and its like a ping-pong ball of who is commenting and who is submitting lol..have not seen you in and around last night...we wrapped all 10 except the 2 you must have noted - your submit on Knotty Pine is allready tried and it does not work I am sorry to say by virtue of dots, and actual lyrics placement....and the missing word "like' its based, as I clued everyone a few posts back... on an old song from the Chateau Label around '63 - a rarity...its a tricker allright..looks like KNotty Pine to everyone at first. as follows:



but I am taught by the 8th-degree jeet-koon-do masters in the 70's to deflect/absorb/reflect/be agile/be adaptive/ lol...lol...sounds like a business conference for a day of yawns and phrases to take back to the office...lol....

again:

that is not actually to be found in Knotty Pine per Wayne's World with those two words "like turpentine" in that order, but rather, as you've said, close to, but not quite, 'She crys turpentine'

then:Q170....like turpentine actual clue ....like turpentine, versus Knotty Pine per Wayne's World:
(E) She's my knotty pine, (A/B) she leans with the wind
(Bsus4) She cries (no "like here") turpentine

and later in song:

She's my knotty pine, she leans with the wind
She crys(no "like" here, either) turpentine

Knotty Pine [/COLOR] ~gl

its a trickery one, George Bush Jr. would say, thats why just about everyone thought whay what you did too, and.... Char, I think - submitted as yours was... I'd have to go check, but I don't want to lose this post. I keep getting spontaneous need to re-loggin, minues apart- is anyone else getting that ? And "quick reply" seems just busted is all, it either says you're posting a duplicate from 5 minutes ago, or says wait 10 seconds and try again, and then it blows out... is it just me ? I always use full REPLY, or quote reply within a given post... you ?

Sorry Mende, you are in good company though - check out the wacky clues to the never-would guess it without internet research (hint) on Chateau Records around '63 byan album called ( )Lightfoot .

nice effort - and intuitive as well. shucks...

Thanks for playin - oh - give ....evergreen a try - its got a new clue to help as well of Hi derry-day in the month of May merriment (done in rock-style ?

OK - later

LOL Char, I know what you mean on Brain freezes... do you remember the ad-campaign for 7-11 (those in "Canadia" ?)
and slurpees giving brain -freezes - like ice-cream too fast ? lol..

..phew it feels good to be caught up in corfid on the final solution to blasting away each and everyone of the submission. semi-submissions. and the asking each other submissions lol..lol... I got 'em all deciphered, but I'll probably take some heat for lax application of strict rules, that, every 24 hours - the mood changes and the rules are 'too strict" lol..then 24 jhours later.. "hey...that doesn't conform to the dots rules... that better not be excepted by the judge...when steve gets back he better not take that one " lol..... its good to see it taken both seriously - and have fun though.

New faces, got a lot of songs left to cover - over 150.....and I like the new slam-dunk - with Big X each post.... and alittle more flex on talk fun,too in the mix... hey I like OhLinda's food lyrics... I tried it and it was novel to PLAY a lyrics game.. I got my Brainscream out from processing like 450 posts so far,...lol.... but u know i STILL LIKE IT... q HAS BEEN POSED THOUGH - DO WE WANT 10 AT A TIME - OR 3 ,5 , ETC, .

There has been very thoughtful discussion of helping me keep up, but by turning the program off ironically, and winging it with being sure to double check whats in my database anyway, it made short work of the 10 tonight - whcih really got processed from 9 pm to 11 pm all 10 I think... I'm fine with whatever ppl want to do....anyway, glad you're not trying to figure out a "thong" song... lol......

It's not just you GeoSteve, I often experience the same thing.

Oh I had not noticed that Char had reply to this annoying thing.

I guess we're not alone...

Char, you hearty soul, glad you did not give up on ....evergreen ! You''ll B glad, 2 ! Tell me, was it the last few tucked in and there hints a few posts up - like hi derry day in the monh of may , to Rock-ish music ? As Ron said, whom I believe knew, as he commented a few times regarding in a way that indicated he knew, but as he'd looked it up, I think he takes honourable mention for having the admirable ethics for leaving it to someone off the top o' their head ! Hear-Hear, Ron !

onward to your submit, I'll slam dunk style. That can be the faster notm if ppl din it contains enough claification to satisfy to al why the song did- did/not pass muster.... I can plow thru ten on slam dunk mode fast enough...since no ones voted, Char, what number og Q's/Clues do you want posted ? Ron suggested 3, not knowing I had been off to stuff in Denver, and the mice were submitting sheese to each other insted of the host lol.... the senseof Chaos my gentle word hope fully cleared up of not submitting to each other - but me ? No spiralling downward problem here... I can do 10, 5, 3, I'd prefer either 10....., or 5 a while integer fraction fo ten, cause

That way I know its a submit - and they can get credit !

No spiralling downward problem here... I can do 10, 5, 3, I'd prefer either 10....., or 5 a whole integer fraction of ten, cause I can track clue's QTY. status completed more neatly in ultimately multiples of 10 - 5's add up to that if ppl wish. Thoughts ?, unless there is a vote from U or a few others, I'll tentatively post 5, and then go back to ten if no input. Lessen the "pyre' -type vague submission versus fun talk lack of clarity - I almost missed Shut-up-and Deals' correct submit !.... - all good fun, which is the point, but looked like chaos, and truthfully - I did get to where I could not tell if 2 ppl were submitting or commenting to one another - whch is cool. All above.. so your submit:
